1.8T at 50 degrees

Post by silverbullet »

Rather old news and I'm no fan of engines laid right over at such steep angles (oil surge nightmares that they are) but you've got to admire the workmanship, even if the builder seems to be colourblind :lol:

Tis one is also on thesamba Ian.

Always thought it looked like one of those stationary engine displays they have in tech colleges.

I want to fit my AWU into the Syncro. Is anyone over here making cradles to suit?

I've contacted a few companies in the States but all they want to do is sell me a 2.5k conversion full of parts I can buy here at much lower prices. All I need is the mounting bars and wiring info FFS! :|

Thanks, I've dropped him a message.

Winter project but I would like to get my planning done and the AGG conversion ready for a new owner :)

Ah but Yank 1.8T's have "pooh" specs, loads of emissions crap too.

We ditch the little bit we have.
