Hey, I don't disagree with that at all. Its good companies are doing things differently. TBH, I'm fed up with all the 1.8T conversions that are about. To be fair once you've seen/driven one mk2 20vt you've seen them all, just with a different viriation on a theme. If it was a blown R32 lump in a mk2 then it would be seriously interesting to see it go down teh strip. Otherwise it would just be a quick mk2 VR6 with teh added bonus of "wow, the first R32 powered MK2" which novelty will wear off once you've seen it. Just IMHO tho Edited by: RallyeVR6
fair play its a new breed, did people say the same when tuners were dropping in G60s in to anything left right and center? or turboing 16v lumps or whacking on a set of carbs or TB? 1.8T maybe the new trend and why, daily usable power with little or none running problems and tuning is nice and easy!
Gonna be having a butchers at it for sure at inters though, wonder whether the theme of the car will follow the R32 mk4 theme, ie same interior etc...?
someone on porka.net is in the process of putting an r32 intoa mkIV polo. he's got the mechanicals done, just doin the wiring (last time i was there).
I was waiting for someone to say that. I hope they keep it white, I hope it has 5 doors and I hope it looks tatty round the edges - just like mine
would you really drive that knowing that all that protects you from the moving parts is the standard seat back?
An R32 was being broken and sold on German ebay tother week, engine went for about 4000 euros i think.
R32 in a mk2? i want one!!! thats going to be awesome do you think it will out do the twin engined 20VT ive heard dubsport are doing (mk24)? heard something silly like 1000bhp? Edited by: W3LSH
that would be the one. which would you put your money on? race wise? though you got to take your hat off to both of them for doing what they have done
very true...but i'd have welded an engine cover ( la clio v6 style) in when i built it (not that i have the know how to build one mind )
I had a friend who was convinced that he was going to put a W8 into the back of his White Mk2. He swore it would have a 05M (i think?) transmission... yeah... and then he sobered up.
