Transporter Ute owners

[Seano]

I've had mine (a dual cab syncro) since is was new back in 2001. Best ute there is. Big tray. Big cab.

But I will agree that stock rear suspension can't safely do the full tonne as advertised (even my upgraded King Spring suspension struggles over 800kgs) and I suspect that heavy towing is not ideal...but can't be sure as mine has never had a towbar fitted.

Unlike Sunny...I'd happily fit another dual mass flywheel if/when the clutch goes.

I'd also consider an alternative engine and transaxle combination as part of an RWD conversion out the back in the distant future.

What engine Seano ?

Engine now is ACV but that's not what you're asking is it

To be honest...not sure. Whilst a Porsche engine would be lovely, it would also be stupid expensive. Subaru engine makes more sense if one wants a boxer. The other option is a coventional four cyclinder transaxle from a mid size FWD wagon (if it can be adapted for RWD duties)...Mondeo diesel? Passat diesel?

It is probably pie in sky to be honest given the amount of engineering that would be required both up front and out back just to get engine, steering and braking all sorted again...

No I meant what size engine cc's in your 2001 ute .
