Going for TDI-stlye tail tips? I was going that way with my S2 Estate but decided against it in the end.

Ouch. Having previously lived in Uley, really near to you, I probably know people who've been caught out by the same grid. Real shame though.

VR Transplant :twisted:

Shiny :D

The black one with the gold deep-dish BBS' is GORGEOUS Any more pics of it?

Performance VW had this exact problem with theirs, it was the ignition switch and barrel.

Hmm, if you want power from standard have a look at the 2.7Biturbo motors. It is possible to mount one transversely in a Golf, so why not a Corrado (though you would most likely need to do alot of re-positioning). Link one up to Haldex 4wd, a pair of GT3071's and you're away ;) - EDIT Wait, the 98 S4's are powered by this engine [hide under rock]

Right, having looked at the ways people have done similar things in Golfs, I think I've sussed what I'm going to do... >North-South mounted engine + ABY 6-speed 'box. Possibly KKK26/27/29 Hybrid turbo. >Cut-down Quattro drive with Torsen diff (any users with Haldex or Synchro drive is it possible to PM me some underside shots, so I can figure out how much clearance I'll have without putting the car on ramps?) >I'm aiming to modify the front end a little, probably use a modified S2 lower bumper extended to fit and with a VR6 splitter mounted on it. May also use S2 lighting/RS2 Bi-Xenons. I think the biggest problem right now is mounting the engine, and finding out if there's enoguh space for ancilleries and the box mounted North-South without having to cut too much of the floorplan to pieces. I know the transmission tunnel's gotta go but I'm none too phased about that, I'll find a way of doing it. Now I just need a 'Rado with decent bodywork to get me started.

Yeah; of course the cams are different and the like. But essentially, yes.

I was actually thinking, I've got a spare ABY 6-speed box, diffs and could get driveshafts. The S2 is roughly the same lenth as a 'Rado. Proper Quattro drive and North/South arrangement in something much lighter than the S2, and tighter handling. Only problem I can forsee with that is Rear Wheel Steering. Hmm.

Right, I've been considering buying another Corrado for a while now (I've owned a pair of G60's and a VR previous) but currently drive an ADU engine'd (RS2 spec) Audi S2 Coupé. I've still got the original ABY 230bhp motor sitting in my garrage and was wondering if a 2.2 20VT I5 swap was possible. I've seen them done longditudally in both Mk1 and Mk2 Golf's, and transversely in Rallyes and MK2's. Anyone here ever attempted the swap before? Or am I safer just ripping off the KKK24 and fitting it onto a 2.0 16v? Thanks.
