See, this is why I like polo owners, you're all supportivemk4 golf might also be worth a look from overseas because they had vr6 and r32. Someone in the uk did an AWD GTI I think it was and that thing hammered!

I remember he was having suspension issues in the rear as there was not enough travel for the trailing arms? to move up and down

Good links guys.
Having a bit of a gander on ELSA trying to get an idea of the rear space constraints.
Funny you mention that Troy, that's the only thing I really see being a problem.
Need to do more digging...

Yeah that is the only problem, changing from a beam the suspension arms need to have room to move up and down, guess you would have to build some kind of space frame in the back

Might have been worth having the boot floor off the TT as well. The rear shocks aren't vertical, they point backwards.Originally Posted by vwthunder

Mmm, what about scrapping the IRS rear altogether and sticking with the beam rear axle?
Two arms to hold the diff on.
Or a DeDion tube setup. It's a sort of hybrid IRS/beam. You can see the basic principle here --
The more I see it, the more I like it.
The rear diff fixes to the body and the 'beam' connects the two arms around the diff.

This would be an epic project.
For me, I'd just buy a Quattro TT and you've got much the same hardware in a better designed chassis for less...
Still, I'd kiss your feet in worship if you got it done.
