LINCOLNSHIRESLUPOGTI Posted May 26, 2008 Report Share Posted May 26, 2008 Bloody hell, that is a seriously impressive time. Anything 0-100mph in the 12-13s area is mighty quick. You have every right to feel pleased with your car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The subtle modder Posted August 4, 2008 Report Share Posted August 4, 2008 Very nice conversion and is such a sleeper in the stadard GTi body from a quick read through i have gathered its custom mounts all round (2x for engine and 1 for the box) is it a case of standard leon mounts modified to fit onto the chassis legs etc or both the legs and mounts etc cut about to get it all fitting?also you didnt mention drive shafts from what ive seen, assuming these would be hybrid cut and sleeved leon/lupo units to the required size?and how easy was it connecting up the gear linkage and clutch mechanism?i have a tuned 180+bhp 206 but im getting bored and need an excuse to keep the arosa that i cant bring myself to sell wayne Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blackcat Posted September 28, 2008 Report Share Posted September 28, 2008 All the garages who are prapared to do german conversions (x2) round my way, say it's not worth it at all... just keep as is.First garage I went to had polish mechanics installing a Golf Turbo lump into an Audi A6.. they were done by the time i went back..Although I know this story, because no one will touch my Renault 5 Turbo!
