    yer she drives very very well, It idles better than the digifant, which really isnt hard is it!

    she pulls hard in every gear and i love her on the freeways she rips it up in 5th it really spools up and pulls.

    i need to do a few more things like wilwood brakes etc just to help me when im fanging it but yer i coudnt be happier believe it or not i can beat 180sx's and stock r33 and other things ah bmws are the best to rinse and audi TT's(drivers may be a factor here!). rolling races are sweet, off the lights i have no chance i get no traction at all.

    with the mk3 dash it makes the 2 feel fresh but with the sexy body of the 2! I love it!

    Spyda as for the vrt I was thinking that but, i though nah! they are to heavy and you would understear so much its not worth it, i recon a good 1.8t will rinse a vrt any day do to weight and handling.

    I stand to be corrected tho so please do it!

    I'm pretty sure, the VR6 and 1.8T weigh about the same, a VR6T, will be a turbo heavier though. the understeering 'thing' has got more to do with the positioning of the VR6 in a mk 2, which is very forward of the struts, (comparitively) hence leads to poor wieght distribution, and hence the supposed "understeer".

    If I had the choice I'd also do a 20VT in a mk 2, would honk!

    can't wait for more pics, and specs!


    i like volkswagens

    MOAR SORTED MK2's FTMFW, im loving it mate. 300hp would be crazy! Is this a weekend car or a daily?
    Im suprized your not beating quicker cars or havnt you raced any?

    I have read that a vr6 only adds about 50kg to the front over a 16v and a few UK guys who race them (N/A) swear that with a proper suspension set up there is no difference. I don't know that a 20vt would rinse a vrt, after about 300hp which they can both make prity easy it would just come down to traction wouldnt it? As they say there is no replacement for displacement haha. (Lets not turn it in to a vrt vs 20vt thread)

    If you don't mind me asking what did it set you back and wheres the build thread?
