Any chance you could make a list of all the parts needed for the 4wd conversion please?

Just had a flick through this whole thread mate, what a car! Very jealous of those seats. Keep the updates coming.

Thank you :happy2:
The best way is to find an R32/S3 that's being stripped or keep an eye for bits on eBay. In essence you'll need.....
Whole gearbox or just the transfer splitter box - that'll depend on how confident you are machining your current gearbox as the FWD boxes will need modification
Both front drive shafts
Prop shaft - make sure you get the brackets that weld onto the chassis to support this shaft
Rear subframe including diff, drive shafts, hubs etc. There are steel and alloy versions of the subframe and hubs available
ABS pump and ECU (complete unit) from an AWD car - any should do as long as the donor car is AWD
Duel Yaw sensor from the SAME car that the abs pump & ECU came from
You will need to either sheet metal your boot floor or cut the boot floor pan out the donor vehicle as the spare wheel well sits too low on your Pirelli and needs to be raised
Various brackets, heat shields etc on top of that list. Basically if you find a don't vehicle take anything that's attatched to the parts listed.
Iv probably forgotten something but that's about it

I'v been really busy the past few weeks and only been on the forum through my phone so its time for a bit of an update. I still haven't taken pictures of the interior that does the re trim justice but hopefully a mate will be doing that soon.
Last week I booked in to Awesome GTi to have the main thermostat changed as my car was not getting hotter than 75ish and searching the forum I soon found the cause. I debated doing it myself but Hassan sorted me out a good price and I decided to let them do the work. While I was there saw some truly amazing cars and got me thinking again of more power!!
If you have followed my build thread you will see I intend to AWD my car and have all the bits ready to go. I really do mean to get it done but just as I'm ready a rare part will come up and I focus on that instead. My wingbacks with full length OEM plaid happened out the blue and my most recent mod did too. Always on the look out for bits and one of the list was the colour display. One came up and grabbed it and just been waiting for a chance to get to Eddie_NL for him to work his magic.
I made the herculean round trip in a day from where I am to Ed and back in a day - definitely not one of my best ideas but did it on Monday. Got there and Ed was straight to work :grin: We had problems with my colour dials as they appeared to be quite new and his tools were not talking with the colour cluster at all. We ended up having to install my other Scirocco dials which are 200MPH, blue needle but white display until he could sort the colour ones out. Ed also installed the most up to date Can Gateway for me which means I get a coffee break warning :signLOL:
We attempted to get MK6 high beam assist going too, but simply ran out of time as I had a 6 hour journey ahead of me to get back home. Literally the next day Ed called me with good news, he had cracked the issue with my colour display and they were ready to be sent back to me. My colour dials were from a convertible which meant the picture was wrong of the doors opening etc. Ed used his coding black magic and got the correct picture for my car - a 3 door.
He sent me the clocks special delivery and I had them the next day. I fitted them as soon as I got back from work and I am well impressed!! The white display makes a huge difference and really updates the interior, but the colour display is next level stuff!!! Its also great to have all the buttons on the MK6 steering wheel that I bought from Ed a while back all working properly too. On my instagram (mateguv) there are more pics and videos of these clocks showing the needle sweep etc. if you want to see it in action.
:notworthy: Big thank you to Eddie_NL who never fails to impress with his knowledge and workmanship - cant wait to get the high beam assist working :notworthy:
