Well i was meant to get my brand new leon cupraR this month but ive been made reduntant so thats gone out the scence
Im currently training to be a driving instructor but it takes 5-8months to complete it so im working part time atm , so im not on great wage! ive saved a fair few pennis luckly enough and ive been thinking about a conversion for a while! A mate did his g40 conversion and i love it but want something with more more, id love to buy a
cupra but obvs cant afford one and ive been offered a vr6 68k on the clock complete engine/gearbox/loom etc for £400 from a mate! Has anyone done it before? i think the engine mounts are the same aswell? any advice is greatfull, oh and i love the look on my car so i wuldnt mind getting a bit more power than 70bhp
thanks
if you do not decide to go ahead with the conversion can u tell your friend i will give him £400 for the engine and everything else i need to do it now,
i have been tlking with my mechanic friend and also tlking to strictly dubs (vw specialist in conversions near me) and i have found out that this is very easy to do,
basically the vr6 engine uses the same engine mounts so it goes straight in the
ibiza
u then need to get the clutch actuator mechanism from a mk2 abf gearbox to convert the vr6 gearbox from hydraulic to cable
then u put the converted gearbox into the
ibiza
then all vr6 wiring plugs straight into the
ibiza fusebox using the vr6 ECU,
i have someone who is willing to put the engine in and convert the vr6 gearbox and fit it for me, hes pretty sure hell be able to wire it up and strictly dubs (vw specialist) have said that if we have any problems they can wire the engine up for a couple of hours labour, or even tlk us through it,
im now on the hunt for a vr6 donour car or just everything i need o if u dnt buy it off ur friend can you please give me his contact details?
cheers
(if anyone else has any usefull info on this topic please let me know)
