or get a VR6 and build yourself a fast car. 2.0 8v would be a waste of time imo. The crap'est 'Performance' engine VW ever made

So true.

ABF will be just as quick as a 2.8 anyway
Just without the soundtrack

I didnt think you could buy a Vento VR6 coupe... An ABF is not as quick as a VR6. where did you hear that??

Did you ever drive them back to back?

 

MK3 GTi looks tidy. What will you do with it after you pull engine out?

No such thing as a Vento Coupe, unless its been custom built, with golf 3dr rear panels and doors on a vento, biggest issue is the back windows..

And an a ABF can be just as powerful as a vr6..

Whats in Park Motors, a Vento Coupe?? In standard form I would go with a VR6 and then if you wanted to upgrade the sky is the limit.

VR6 vs ABF seems like a no brainer to me

Ask John how he got on with his VR against a mk2 ABF , the results were very surprising

I thought we were talking about a Vento here not an ABF'd mk2. Mk2 Golf or Jetta powered by an ABF is a great combo.

Anyway, back on topic

dont use the 8V

 

I was watching VR6 golf mk3 before but was too expensive for me and too nice to take the engine out

.
Golf will be for sale well or parts from the golf.I can sale front and rear lights and rear bumper from GTI allready if somebody wants.
Coming back to project things going forward. Here are some pictures

Ah no i wouldn't say that, but it was interesting to see how well the two cars pull themselves along..

Yeah, mk2 ABF kevin, its a revvy engine compared to the Vr6, suits the mk2 very well.

Sorry for the off topic, best of luck in your endavours lad.

 

nice man im all on 4 the vento coupes . think they look the dogs

 

If somebody know where to buy sports part for VW like exhaust air induction kits etc. just give me the links or info please.

Project going forward again yesterday take of all electric from 2.0 engine from GTI shell and instal it into vento wait for new clutch timing belt kit some poliuretine bushing kit and will put evrything with the engine to Vento. Thanks to my home mate Kris for help with the spaghetti(cables) work.

 

Engine is allready in vento and is working allright got some problems with immobiliser but turn on my laptop and a vag and sort it out.Put a new clutch, new washers, new timing belt, new thermostate

 

There is no many comments i see but i allready finish, put brakes hub coilovers alltogether in vento and i like it how it is so decide to leave 4 doors not coupe but still will go for a fresh paint and some body modification.

Fit a golf bumper to see how its look

 

You don't waste any time anyway

Looks well. best of luck with her

 

nice one

was it much of a job doing the back ? just a gti hand brake cable is needed ? and did you have to do any messn with brake lines ?
i want to do my vento sometime
