Anyone got anything other than the regular modded babyvalver or XE, LET.

Not seen many mad crazy conversions. I know a few people have the V6.

Anything rear engined, twin engined, 4wd, non vaux etc?

I know the LET is very potent, looking for something a bit unusal rather than done a fair bit.

S3 engine sounds interesting though. Big fan of my current VAG engine.

rear engined v8 or something would be cool. reyland have managed to get a 1.8 20v turbo vag motor in a metro, so should go in a corsa easy enough

LOL, i know there is dude building a 27l v12 into a rover.

I want something thats quick and practical but different. I know of the reyland metro, just shows the 20v engine can be dropped into anything, getting a bit common. I need someone to crash into my a3 leaving the running gear in good working order i think lol!

not really, them 20vt lumps can get 600+ bhp quite easily out of them. std internals are good enough for 400+bhp. fantastic engine. leagues above c20let or anything vauxhall, as is pretty much all vw stuff

as above, 225bhp standard, chipped to 270 and 330 on just a turbo swap! plus VAG reliable. LET is good, VAG20v is immense!

Scriv, you got any pics of where your at with it!?

LOL I have to say i really like the CVH, fits in the Ka engine bay like it was supposed to be there! Wouldnt put one in a Corsa though!

So at the moment its all just in the planning stage the S3 corsa! Look forward to seeing some progress!
