Hey,
I know everyones obvious first answer will be "go buy a 1.8t" but i've done a lot of work on this 1.6 and i haven't seen many in the same colour near me (dolphin grey)
I'm thinking about dropping a 1.8T preferably the 225 tt/S3 lump, (may as well do a full measure eh?)
I'd like to know what i'd need on top of the following
I've already got coilovers and have polybushed most of the chassis minus the rear arm, thats just got new stock bushes, stiff enough anyway.
Engine
Clutch
Gearbox
Clocks?
ECU
Loom
Exhaust
Hubs? (seen around that they may be slightly different)
Brakes/disks
Time, plenty of time.
I've got a mechanic close by that won't leave me homeless by doing all this too, so thats decent...
Any wisdom anyone can pass on is greatly appreciated.
