Is this the start of another mad day? Will you be needing side skirts and replica Monzas with your Edition 30 engine?

Thats something i was looking at doing. 

Buying a very high mileage Octavia vRS, stick an S3/Ed30 or 2.0TSI mit K04 engine in it, all the suspension/brakes etc would be changed anyway so mileage isnt an issue, then you have a sweet car for much less money.

lets hope if you do an engine swap, then this time it will be a lot less hassle than last time
