    I've been having naughty thoughts about an R32 engine & DSG box but don't want to go the full 4motion jobbie (I'd love to but something tells me it'd take me years lol) I'm sure I read somewhere about the DSG box being converted to front wheel drive.... Was it that French gull wing monstrosity???

    Thanks mate, doesn't sound too bad of a job. Just need to get some time to do it now before the bad weather arrives

    Hi all, I've just been looking round my car, 1st proper inspection since I bought it & I've found the passenger sunroof drain hole has been siliconed up. I spoke to the previous owner & he says the pipe that connects to the top has come off or snapped so he sealed it up...... How big of a job is it to replace this pipe as I think water us getting into the car

    That's going to look cool! Where did you get the shorty mirrors from mate?

    I too will be interested to see how you get on & what actual gains you get.

    So I'll have to wait till next year & buy a complete MOT failure VR to do the swap, I'll keep the auto & try not to break it by adding more power lol

    Doesn't the 8v have a cable operated clutch & the VR6 needs hydraulic?

    Afternoon all, As the title states, does anybody know how the auto box will stand up to a little tuning? Just the basics & possibly a supercharger? Or would it eat itself straight away? Cheers Jamie

    The 8v is a cable change so a manual conversion is on the back burner for a bit

    Hi all, I know this has been questioned to death but I have a couple of things that I can't find the answer to. I have a 1996 8v GTI that I'm going to be parting out over the next few months & what I want to know is: Can I use the pedal box from the 8v? Can I use the clutch master/slave cylinder from the 8v? Can I use the hydraulic lines, brackets & other bits from the 8v? I know I'll need a VR6 gearbox, clutch & flywheel but what else will I need? Cheers Jamie
