    Rich.

    We ( well before ) had the same model car. 1.8 Driver

    As you know I have the 180 20v sitting collecting dust plus I have loads of other bits.

    If poss, please PM me with a breakdown of what they had to change + costs if poss as it will be my next move.

    thing is I am unsure of who to give the job too ?

    RICH, RICH!

    I hate to be the one to break it to you but...


    ...Someone's knicked your car, removed your
    bumper, and wedged/ shoehorned/ an oversized
    engine into it! Cnuts!

    Honestly. What has the world come to when you
    can't swan off to the south of France for two weeks
    without some body putting a 20v Turbo in your Mk2?

    Not in my day...

    Sorry to hear it Rich.

    Fordham ;)

    Fancy spending 6,000 notes on that ? ;)
    Should have put some towards a respray.

    Joking aside, I had the pleasure of sitting in a 1.8T Mk2 a couple of weekends ago. Belonged to a friend of a friend and went like **** of a shovel.
    Unsurprisingly, he's a regular at his local tyre depot !

    Rich,

    I expect you will be allowing Nordoff to drive your car around the campsite at the next Inters, at 2.30am whilst intoxicated.

    It's only fair, considering what you did to his.

    :lol:

    to be fair 6 grand aint alot if you put it into perspective whatever your taste and if you don't like his car or whatever to buy a new car with that sort of power in it would well cost thousands upon thousands. Rich's car won't depreciate and well it's just cool :lol:
