Sorry dude but you've lost me with your logic.

You'll go & spend $$$$$'s on engine & cyl. head mod's for 2mm oversize valves, seat's/porting etc. & stuff you don't need like overkill ti retainer's with a stock cam & stock valve spring's, but you only want to spend less than $400 on wheel's & tyres?

What about the stock suspension & brakes?

Also you say the block has been bored to 2L but your going to use the standard piston's? Ummmm. right



Just alittle helpful info.

A bored 1.8L block won't take it to 2L. It will only go as far 1870cc (1.9L Audi Spec) with a 83mm big bore piston (2mm/.078"thou oversized!) & 86.4mm stroke!
Or a more popular (maximum recommended) bore being .060"/1.52mm oversize. So a 82.5mm piston & 86.4mm stroke is 1847cc

To get to 2L, you need a stroke of 92.8mm which requires a bigger crank using a 82.5mm piston which gives you 1984cc!

Or it's easier & much much cheaper just using a 2L engine to start with!

Very much agreed.
