My mate had a lovely one with with a six speed dogleg Gemma Motorsports gearbox and various engine mods- was a proper high revving racy engine- anyway kid purchased it off him at work and write it off after 2 weeks- he told him a few days after- anyways he rushed down the scrapers to try and get the engine and gearbox but the car had been flipping crushed . So do you remember the BR Motorsports conversions - he use to work for GTI engineering but branched out on his own - Stealth was a young rival of his. 1.9L BRM 170 2.0L BRM 180 BRM 2.0 16v 9a engine Stage 3 cylinder head with big valves Schrick 260 cams ITBs Weber Alpha Management Uprated solid engine mounts 4 branch heat wrapped manifold with full stainless longlife exhaust Mocal Oil Cooler RR'd at 205 bhp @ 6,500 rpm, 163lb/ft @ 5,240rpm Good thread here. https://www.clubgti.com/forums/index.php?threads/mk2-golf-project-brm180-engine-with-weber-alpha-conversion.229013/ Edited January 16, 2021 by Keyo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

They were BRM - but the owner of the similar named exF1 team didn't like it, then BR Motorsport - they went bust, the Berrington Road Motor services run by his step son - I lusted over his MK1... BRM / TSR / C&R and a newcomer Stealth in its first guise (Vince and Mark Yates) were the front runners at the time (Awesome were more interested in engine conversions, but sold all the bits too), I think M Y worked for just about everyone as well as APR and Revo.

Yeah Mark Yates his still about and works in something else I cant quite remember - bit of a story. I take it BR Motorsports did quite alot with Audi or audi parts as my contact is in the Audi classic world. Cool picture what a beast, I believe at the end before BR departed they went onto mobility or something bizarre like that but this council lock up is full of blocks and nos parts (not sure there will be any related VR6 stock) all the audi parts need to be moved first as physically cant walk in there.

I think BRM were the price leaders at the time so would pick up the higher priced stuff for the well healed.
