Hope your well dude! I will get down and see you after this corona is over :icon thumright:
I have alot of catching up to do reading threads :sweatsmile:
I have ordered a couple of parts..
Well 2 years have now past...... not much to report here unfortunately guys lol.
I still have the shell in the garage I lost total interest in the car after a couple of really deflating moments with shells, cars i bought to resurrect the noggy.
I have recently bought this.... which has...
2.8 has more meat between the water jacket and cylinder wall which is important when you turbo these engines which is why the 2.8 is the preferred block for reliability.

Well the only thing they really share is the chassis and quattro system. It is simular to the S3 and the 1.8T quattro thing. just a few more differences as the 4 motion is 2.8 and r32 is 3.2. 3.2 has a different crank and larger bore block but parts are all interchangeable. Both similar but...

Thanks dude, may keep the rolling shell yet..... it may come back with a different engine note :whistle2:
I haven't forgot the oil either! I will be down at some point mate.
