So bit of a late update but had a few problems to deal with the car. Went to lay paint down and the cellulose reacted with the acrylic primer so I had to flat it all back and refill some areas but overall I'm happier so glad I did it. After seeing jason pattons' mk2 jetta I've loved the whole stone chipped engine bay look and it's really durable so perfect for what I wanted. And here is mine so far, Finished wire wheeling and stone chipping the inner arch and the chassis leg so that side is done and it drys a lot more "matt" then in that picture as that is when I just sprayed it. The engine

Just placed my order to migfab to have a SRI made up with the throttle body on the opposite side so the intercooler pipework is right ready for the sidewinder manifold I'll be having made.

dutchbuild make a nice one but its pricey.... once you get the engine and box in the engine bay attach the standard front engine mount and you only need a small length of plate bolting between the mount and the nearest hole on the 02m.

Hi everyone, I've bought forged pistons and rods for my vr6 turbo project and hopefully want to fit them myself after the block comes back from the machine shop but the rings that come with wossner pistons need gapping? Or are they gapped at the factory? If so any info I can read anywhere about this? Thanks

Got one side in primer now moving along to the fire wall and other side. Here are a few pictures of the progress Also bought some drop in 8:1 wossner pistons and genuine rod bearings

If you are wanting to use an 02a box then try for a t4 turbo with large AR so the spool is a little slower, also a journal bearing turbo won't spool as quick so that will keep the torque lower as well, obviously it's down to the mapping but these can help.

just had a flick through this build and jesus! the time, effort and money gone into this is just unbelievable! is that a sequential shifter for an o2m? also who makes that inlet manifold or is it custom? sorry of these have already been answered but too busy looking at the pictures

Quick picture of how the engine bay is coming along...... Until I ran out of mig wire but I have stocked back up and shall be attacking it again over the weekend

Started stripping down the engine and gearbox yesterday. Everything looks to be in great shape, which makes it even more of a shame to split the engine down to fit new pistons and rods but hey ho! Waiting for a proper engine stand to be delivered so I don't have to work on a trolley anymore (sketchy AF) lol

Yesterday I went to see lowvr off the forum to pick up an 02m box, c2 mount and gear shifter along with a Modified mk3 subframe and had a good chinwag and then I had to jump on a flocked dash for £30 so went and picked that up [emoji106][emoji106] No photos of the gearbox but I also order a 2wd conversion blanking plate from holland Then today I have replaced the chassis leg panel on the drivers side and welded up the large hole above it on the inner wing Took the wing off so I could get underneath to weld the panel and was pleased to see no rust Just need to carry on smoothing the b

So after removing the rest of the wiring loom, hydro clutch and brake master cylinder I decided to remove some old metal in place for nice shiny bits that Matt gave me with the car, shame no one is going to see them as I am smoothing over the top with sheet metal but I like to do things right and do them once [emoji106] Using a grinder wire knot wheel to remove sealer it's the easiest way I've found and then drilling out the spot welds. Going to seam weld everything so no one seam sealant and no filler needed (hopefully)

R32 box is weaker. You want to try and find a DRP code 02m as they are the stronger 02m out of them. Get them in 99-00 golf v6 4motions.
-
You also need 02m starter motor, flywheel and 24v clutch but not a problem [emoji106]

Few pictures of the mk2 been brought back to its new home, need to shuffle a few cars about and then will have the ideal spot for the rebuild
-
Thanks and you mean my 02m gearbox setup? I'll be using a mk4 golf 4motion gearbox then put a transfer box blank on and use the 02m shafts to modify half and half with mk2/mk3 out cv's then you have to weld the gearbox mount in a different place and use a front and gearbox mount from dutchbuild unless you want to make your own (quite easy) and then fitting a clutchmaster fx850 clutch and quaife LSD. You then have to use the 02a master clutch cylinder and make an adapter to go from 6mm to 8mm pipe to the 02m slave cylinder [emoji106][emoji106] have a look here http://forums.vwvortex.com/showth

Just spent tonight searching for a decent 02m box with all the trimmings and going to pick one up later this week! Going to get a paddle clutch (looking at clutch master fx850's) and a LSD

Hi everyone! I'm new here so thought I would share my newest project with you all! Started out life as a grey 1.6 and the previous owner has built it into a red big bumper gti look a like. So fast forward a few years and here is how she sits The car as I bought it came with: Us spec tail lights Clear rear window kW v1 coilovers Anti roll bars Smoothed front and rear bumpers Audi s2 front brakes with braided hoses Transporter t5 banded steels Lightweight battery in the boot But more to the point this has hardly any rust, only major problem is both front jacking points have rusted th
