The car has come a long way in the 2 years i have owned it. Still a work in progress, but now it's just detail stuff to work on.

NOICE swap

I'm offended Allen

Nice job on the 3s-gte swap

I dream of doing it myself, but I don't have the money, nor the time to do it

It is a 3sgte, a gen 3 255hp GT4 motor to start with. Terms of cost, a big chunk of the swap way payed of my selling off the heavily modded sc motor the car came with when i bought it.

doing a clutch job for example with this motor in the mk1 is much easier than doing it in the mk2..... we don't have that suspention brace under the car.

Handling is same as before. Althrough i will go with some 17'' Volks next fall and try to squeeze a 235 in the back. The weight diffrence is in the 50-70 pounds more. I have stripped that out of the car with barely showing it. In terms of power it's in the 300 flywheel range. The car should weigh in at 2550 at it's current state.
