15degreev 0 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Well after owning mk1/2/3's (34 in total) And the mk1 being my favourite along with the VR lump, It had to be done ! here she is still work in progress and also my daily atm, plenty more left to do and tbh im already feeling the need for more power lol Opinions welcome good or bad, i'll let the pics do the talkingSo this is how she sits atm, will keep this updated as she progresses and hopefully see some of you on the strip !:-) Link to post Share on other sites
UnitedMotorsport 55 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 The fuel filter you have there is designed for ~10psi of fuel pressure, not ~4 bar. Link to post Share on other sites
15degreev 0 Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I know thanks ! Was a temp fix to get her moving Link to post Share on other sites
taylonm 0 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Nice car, loving the colour!If you dont mind me asking what crossmember and rad have you used? Just need some advice as I'm about to do this conversion to my scirocco. Cheers Link to post Share on other sites
gary.scales 0 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Looking good, I would love to do what you have done one day!! Link to post Share on other sites
15degreev 0 Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Nice car' date=' loving the colour!If you dont mind me asking what crossmember and rad have you used? Just need some advice as I'm about to do this conversion to my scirocco. Cheers [/quote']Thanks :-) I'll get some pics of the install and PM them to you, whole thing has been a massive learning curve with alot of trial and error. Subframe was custom fabricated instead of relocating the mounts. I will get the rest of the pics together and post them up, hopefully this will help anyone else who is thinking about doing the same Link to post Share on other sites
taylonm 0 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Top man, tbh we're probably gona fabricate up everything ourselves and make it all fit. Its just i keep hearing stuff about corrado parts on all the the different forums. Link to post Share on other sites
bungy 2 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Very nice combination and I would like to add myself to the list of people wanting to see how you did your install. Link to post Share on other sites
15degreev 0 Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Some more pics, loads more to follow as I find them.This is how the subframe was fabbed Copied exactly from thisHad masses of problems with the CE1 fusebox, burning out of relays and eventually a whole track on the board ( this still needs sorting and replacing but has been bypassed for now)Some may some may not like this, but personally I love it !And a short vid of the first run after the electrics had been sorted.http://i74.photobucket.com/albums/i267/Riggsvr6/cars/MK1%20VR6/th_VIDEO0027.jpg' alt='th_VIDEO0027.jpg'>Will keep updating as I crack on, Fell in love with the VR noise from the mk3 as soon as i drove one, but with the lump in a mk1 and a shorter exhaust the tone is simply amazing !

bungy 2 Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 How do you find it to drive with such a small and light car with such a heavy engine. Link to post Share on other sites
15degreev 0 Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Tbh she drives fine with the coilies and I still have the battery in the front also. Plans are to relocate the battery to the boot but it's on the list along with alot more fettling and getting her to how I want her. She aint no lightweight MK1 anymore with the lump and the front seats that weigh an absolute ton, but she is comfortable,quick and can still scare most things on the road :-) Next most important thing to sort is the swan neck in the boot, as it seems to be letting fuel flow back up it and leaving a strong smell in the car.All being well she should be in a half decent state by B.V.F with the exception of the door handles that need refitting to the doors.

15degreev 0 Posted June 15, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 Aye will probably be there, Just hope she will be completely finished, but at the minute it's looking like the Audio install won't be done and the bodywork around the door handles may not be either Link to post Share on other sites
taylonm 0 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Nice little touches!So is this running, full mk3 wide track? It looks it in the photos... Link to post Share on other sites
15degreev 0 Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Yes she is, sat on 16's atm :-) having some scrubbing on the front but she needs to settle a little first as the coils have only just gone on. The Mk1 coils had to be modified to fit the hubs and the camber bolt hole had to elongated. Link to post Share on other sites
taylonm 0 Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Sounds good, just hoping mine all goes together without too much ballache! Link to post Share on other sites
15degreev 0 Posted June 16, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Ballache is guaranteed :-O but worth every knuckle scraping minute Link to post Share on other sites
RACK 1 Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 Love this and it's made me miss my Lhasa green mk1 even more than I already do. Would love to put the V6 4mo engine and runnin gear in one Link to post Share on other sites
