Turbo conversion - help needed with enigne mounts!

[MisterMinty]

You'll have to drop me a PM when it's finished, I'd love a go in it

I may even pop down VAG Tech on Saturday, need to get a C spanner for my coillies

I'm going to be poking my head down there this Saturday to see how things are progressing (and also because I left the bumper in my garage at home so let us know if you're about then and I'll see you there!

[ModifiedMadness]

I should be about on Saturday, what kind of time you gonna be heading down there?

[MisterMinty]

I'm reasonably flexible about times, probably around midday I would think. Got a few things to do beforehand, so 12 will be the earliest I'm there. Does that work for you?

[ModifiedMadness]

Don't see why not mate, see you then

[MisterMinty]

Keep it looking pretty much how it is and it'll be a right sleeper

Absolutely right - less is more. The only concessions I've thought about in terms of styling would be a front splitter and rear spoiler from a 6N2 GTi, but sprayed in the candy white. In other words, keeping things as subtle as possible. No loud wheels, body kits, ANYTHING other than OEM. Do you reckon that would work?

[ModifiedMadness]

I reckon that's how it should stay mate, GTi Splitter and rear Spoiler would finish it off a treat.

[ModifiedMadness]

Well mate, I missed you again today (by half an hour apprarently)

I was on call last night so got up a bit later than I planned.

for the brakes go for some G60 items, or ibiza cupra R brembos


all sounds cool man! i've still got this mod at the back of my mind

[MisterMinty]

Cheers for the advice - having done a bit of research on your suggestion it looks good; should be a straight swap (albeit I will need some 16" wheels but hey! small hardship)
Tom - sorry I missed you again! I was there early and left about 12.35 - Jon and Greig both looked snowed under and I didn't want to get under their feet. Anyway, I'm sure we'll meet up eventually
(Jon was showing me that totally wacky Audi TT...400BHP and NOX! Whoa!!)
Just to mention, I'm going to be testing the finished car on June 23-24 at the Ring. If anybody is interested in coming along, let me know and I'll give you all the info and help you require. Hopefully the weather will be good, and those who make it there will have an excellent time

Would that be the Silver TT with the nice big intercooler?

I did see it on the ramps but don't know anything about it.

[dubbprince]

matt if you want to buy the mount needed...i have it. Only drivers side though.

also...i have the ARY coded 180bhp engine, with clocks,loom and key/ecu...£900. Sorry to plug this lot, but might be able to help you.

[ModifiedMadness]

I think he already has it all mate

[MisterMinty]

...to keep you up to speed y'all, I'm looking at being back on the road by June 21st at the latest.
Thanks for your offer, but Tom got it in one, I've got all the stuff. (Yep, I got it BAD )
Incidentally, I'm going to try some Toyos on mine, I've heard plenty of positive things said about them. Going for 195/50/15 on 6x15 rims, even with a 30mm drop that shouldn't cause problems should it? (Please say if it will). My thinking is that on Bilsteins and polybushes, if I don't go for something a fraction more supple it's going to be like driving a boneshaker

BTW Tom, ordered front GTi splitter on your advice. It is going to look most excellent - thanks!

[dubbprince]

i have a funny feeling i know of your car matt, but not 100% sure.

do you know a guy called ben who drives a mk3 colour concept blue golf? Ignore me if i'm wrong lol.
