Hi everyone,
Some of you will know my mk2 awd vr6 turbo build I had going on..... Well after a change of heart, a rethink of what I actually wanted and whilst scouring the Internet for a new daily I ended up looking in the mk3 section on here and found a couple mk3 vr's that tickled my fancy.
For those who know me I have always been a mk3 guy after owning two other gti's so when I saw Scott's supercharged vr for sale I made the journey south to Hastings to buy it.
After a 5 hour train journey and a good chat with Scott I bought the car and made the 5 hour journey home (m25 and m11 are a nightmare) haha
So I guess some of you will be asking why have I ditched the mk2??
Well to be honest the amount just for the respray alone bought the mk3. I have since sold the mk2 to my friend Tom along with the supercharged lump from the mk3, this is to make room for my 6 speed turbo setup which I am leaving 2wd this time.
I have since sold the interior out the mk3 to make way for a roll cage to be welded in and then an all black leather interior with recaro pole positions, renown wheel and cae shifter.
Engine wise it will be the one that was going in the mk2 so a fully forged 2.8 vr6 with a big valve head, calico bearings, arp hardware throughout, 268 cams, schimmel oil filter housing, oil cooler and fluidampr.
Turbo will be a holset hx52 bolted to a sidewinder manifold sat over the gearbox with a front mount.
Fuelling is the standard tank and lift pump connected to an IE surge tank with two 044's upto the rail with 830cc injectors and an aeromotive FPR, braided lines throughout.
This will be mated to a fx725 clutch and 02m DRP box with diesel gearing, wavetrac diff and 2wd conversion plate.
All this will be sat in a smoothed bay with a wire tuck, ABS delete, manual steering, battery and washer fluid in the boot.
Outside will remain the same apart from
The rs' are having a redrill and refurb so I can widen them.
Then the air install will be done again by my friend Matt at OCD.
So that's the plan, currently already stripped out the interior which I say is sold now, just need to get the charged lump out and turbo lump in ready to send to SS autowerks for a roll cage to be fitted and exhaust mani fabricated.
I'll let the pictures do the talking
So the few things I have acquired as of late are some carbon goodies that are been made or have arrived for the interior and engine bay like sunroof motor blank, wing mirror inside covers, rear view mirror and valve cover with more to come
So yeh hopefully you like what you see and I'll keep updating this as soon as I get more work done which will be ripping out the charged vr later this week!
Few pictures of engine and turbo etc that will Be going in:
