Not a huge amount I wouldn't have said.. But is it really worth it?? Why not just get a diff and 255's??

And for that reason you should ignore me and go do it.. Ha.. Can't beat having something different :smiley:

What about the motor though? No point being 4WD unless your going to play there too :wink:

Post by: vRStu on May 01, 2010, 06:58:15 am: I've been muttering the same thing for a while now. I think the best way to do it would be to buy a 4x4 2.0FSi and drop a TFSi into it. Not looked recently but the 2.0FSi were quite cheap as they aren't the most desirable of motors. Only available as an Estate though.

Post by: Garth on May 01, 2010, 10:05:32 am: There's someone selling the entire running gear from an R32 on ebay. buy it now for 750! Includes full haldex system, drive shafts brakes etc. Almost tempted to buy it myself and convert mine :grin:

Post by: Janner_Sy on May 01, 2010, 01:37:14 pm: converting fwd o awd cold be an issue with the transmission tunnel etc. the floor plan could be quite a way out. tbh if i was to do it i reckon id do it as vRStu said. get a doner 4x4 and convert everything else into that.

Post by: Janner_Sy on May 01, 2010, 01:56:26 pm: loadsa guys have done this with the mk1 octavia 4x4 already as these came with a detuned 1.8T already. Hmmm maybe a BT conversion on a 4x4 1.8T would be an even cheaper option.
