Car is now totalled. It's sitting in the impound lot waiting o be crushed/salvaged. Some jackass made a left turn in front of me without looking and I hit him head on. Engine went up in flames. It was a sad day...I would post a link tot he pictures but youtube won't let me.
this video is still up? I forgot about it. Lots has happened since. New paint and body work (no more chrome), new lighting, new 02A transmission, ecu flash (went from APR chip to APR stage 2), swapped the N75 for more boost, new custom fmic and turbo plumbing. backlit gauges with illuminated needles. Soon the seats will be reupholstered in black leatherette
@wickedrett you do know that volkswagen makes the audi engines right? VW makes audi altogether actually and the same motor is available in the jetta too. i mean shit, the bugatti veyron uses a volkwagen w16 and the whole car is actually designed by VW. plus the 1.8T is sluggish until you mod the crap out of it.
@floydie123 Really? Hmmm. I did know Audi and VW where one of the same. I have a Mk 3 GT. I'll be honest, I do feel it has a lot of get up for such a small engine, but from what I've heard they are difficult to mod and work on because VW engines are very temperamental. However, I'm still in the learning process as I'm sure I always will be. I haven't paid much attention to cars in till I bought my first.
@wickedrett Yeah VW is Audi for the most part. Almost like a luxury division. VW was even with Porsche on some cars like the touareg and cayenne. Volkswagen really does make fantastic motors. They just require some regular attention and respect unlike some american and japanese cars which are practically built to be neglected nowadays. I'm actually saving for a Mk3 2.0 Jetta right now. Driving a Subie at the moment
@floydie123 Yeah thats what I have. I do love VW. My 97 2.0L gets fantastic gas millage for the year and it has great pick up. I'm not sure how the automatics are. I can say the GT is a great if you can find one. But the rocker panels have a tendency to fall apart if it wasn't taken care of, because mine wasn't.
@wickedrett I'd imagine the automatics are a bit sluggish. That's too heavy and slow of a tranny for cars as quick as those Mk3's. My Subaru is a stick and I know I'll never go to automatic. Putting an auto in a VW is like releasing a fish into the sand. It just isn't supposed to be that way.
does anyone know where i can get a newer vr6 engine???
im looking and looking but i cant find an engine for sale anywhere. if anyone can help out that would be great. im going to get a new tranny and engine. tranny's are easy to find but i cant find the engine.
I'm the owner of this ride...it had/still has a worn out clutch so I couldn't really give'r without the clutch slipping. new video when I do the clutch.
Sick, I've been doing alot of research on the 1.8t swap and I want to do it. The only thing that scares me is the wiring mess. It looks like the gear ratios are kinda crappy unless the speedo isnt correct. Can you give any info on the how they did the computer? Stand alone or piggy back? Holla at a nukka if you got any info
where you get those lights ??

Sounds great. Audi turbos are amazing. I'll take a Jetta with an Audi engine any day. VW engines are shit in comparison.

VR6 MK4's were pretty rare as it is...so finding an engine out of one is going to be even harder.
