well for the last few weeks i have been without a car as im having a vr6 put into it. ( i know half of you will say i should of gone 1.8t but hey ho personal choice and all that lol )

anyway got the engine gearbox pedalbox wiring loom everything for £400 off a very nice bloke off e38.

the engine is now in driveshafts gear linkage everything is in place just waiting for the wiring to be finished then im ready to go.

i bought a ss exhaust manifold for it and decat a few new bits like strut brace new flat caps for the wheels bits like that.

i have a couple of pics but they are on my phone ill get them up at some point.

anyway this is maybe the worst build thread ive seen but thought id put it up anyway lol

i beleive that there isnt that much of difference in weight with the 1.8t and the vr6 as i was looking into the two conversions just the vr6 is an old engine now put me off. 1.8t all the way,

but hey never know i wouldnt mind a corrado though slight fetish for them

Good man a propper engine instead of an over boosted 1.8T, cant beat the V6 sound.

Just one question what have you done to aid handling as its a pretty hefty motor?


cheers guys

not alot yet handling wise im going to uprate the brakes and suspension anyway eventually. still aint driving it yet cause the wiring guy is pissing around ill see what it handles like first lol.

you might have to get some custom fron springs/dampers due to the additional weight. thing thing will rock mate! you should keep it looking as standard as possible for added stealth!![B)]
