Just out of interest, whats the traction like? Can you brake traction in gears higher than 1st and 2nd?

lol its still only a pretty stock vr6 motor , so no it doesnt break traction in 3 on roll on or 2nd. its pretty much just like a mk3 vr6, all in all i dont think you would save much weigh off a mk3 once you put all the mk3 vr6 bits into a mk2. i would guess there would only be 100kg difference if that.

Damn. Maby after a bit of work?


What about a r32 motor in to a mk2? I've been interested in this also but i doubt it would be as easy.

all you need now is a turbocharger now brenton

the 3.2 vr6 would be so much harder. you'd need to run standalone management.

how does it handle?

Not really, still the fastest Mk2 in Australia I`d say.

There are turbo mk2's out there that would tear it a new one. Personally all you get from the VR6 is great noise. My 16v would keep up with a mk3 VR easily so probably only a bit slower than brents with better handling.
