    Cheers pete, am I right in thinking the g60 final drive improves acceleration but loses some top end? If so do you know how much top end by any chance?

    hi guys I'm after some help, I just need to confirm exactly what gearbox I need if anybody knows? as I have now heard different opinions to what model gearbox I should fit and I really don't want to buy the wrong one! I have got a corrado 2.9 abv bottom end from a 1994 model to go in my golf vr6 1996 ob2. I've heard it should be a 02a and also a chn, heard something about different ratios and final drives. Could someone please clarify or help in any way?

    I've got a reconditioned head, skimmed and pressure tested from the original engine which is a 96' so I'll go with that, sounds good fellas.

    Luckily for the car I won't be doing most of it, the old man's the mechanic. Just wanted some info to pass over to him make it as easy as possible. Just wanted to be sure before I fork out on synchro gear and realise it don't work then end up on eBay! Cheers guys

    L5gvw's threads pretty impressive, made my project seem really easy. I've located a guy with the all the running gear for sale so parts ain't a prob, so what about getting it running on a regular vr6? Your quite a lucky fella owning a factory synchro!

    Wow! Great build thread, I'm pretty tired after Reading all 24 pages! Lol Ive got a question and it seems your the man to ask. I've got a mk3 vr6, is it difficult to fit the complete mk3 synchro 4x4 running gear to my vr6? I understand I'm gonna need a synchro boot floor. But apart from that is there much to do? I feel pretty stupid from getting a headache from my project after seeing your build thread!

    Was looking at the full 4x4 running gear, I understand I'm gonna need a synchro boot floor to allow for the transfer box. But apart from that is there alot more work involved? And is the work worth the benefit? With the new boot floor is it pretty much a bolt up mod? Cheers

    Hi guys as my project is at it's early stages and I'm in need of a gear box was wondering about running synchro gear as it would be easier now. Is any body running the gear in this club? What exactly will I need? And as it's used on left hookers will it cause probs with the exhaust system and other things?

    I have also been scammed within the last month! After posting interest in a corrado being broken by a guy called Neil H on this site I recieved a personal email from a guy called ABDUL QUDAR, or "ABBS" as he called himself. Apparently from Tipton, West Midlands. I assumed this was the same guy with a different user name as he emailed me telling me he had a complete engine for sale and came across genuine. This was the only site I posted interest. After many conversations I payed upfront for a corrado 2.9 engine and gearbox (£660). The engine turned up and had a large crack in the block!

  21. terrance_19
