Thanks Jarrad.

Yup Cabriolet prices are still very hight. Its only recently that 2 door CL prices have dropped, they were more than a VR6 a year ago.

You could put a VR6 into a Mk3 cabriolet without engineering. The Mk3.5 (Mk4) Cabriolets have a different approval number, so you cant do it. I reckon you could put a 20VT in one of those though, as the RTA think its a Mk4.

now you're talking! hahahah

[Tim]

[GoLfMan]

looking good cheif.

now be the first in Aus to do a 20vt conversion into a Cab

beat the fellas down in Tas to it

Great stuff!

Will be interesting when 2.0T FSI motors are cheaper. Or even the MKV GT TDI lump... could be a weapon in a light car.

Trouble with the later model stuff is that you need standd alone fuel management as the factory computers need the ecu, clocks and key etc from the donor car. Some even require the convenience modules

For ease of conversion and to avoid blowing the budget, its best to stay plug and play.

Drove this car today to get it inspected and change the engine number and capacity. No dramas there and it cost nothing at the RTA

The thing absolutely hammers. Its the fastest VR6 I have been in.
Getting rid of the roofracks and getting it detailed, then pics
