I have to agree with staying away from subarus and evo's, I have never driven either but I will still never own one  

I think the turbo'd r36 idea would be nice  

I can tell, when you have driven one you will be converted.  VAG chassis's are numb in comparison.  And ive driven the likes of the VWR demo car etc.  

I dont think evo's have that much of an image issue, like you get with scoobies.  most chav's cant really afford them.  that said if you get one of the new scoobies you wont have that image, as is the old classic shape that carries the chav image

turbo r36 is just silly its still a big fat vag car and its going to cost big money to do and yes it would be great but if its going to be gig mtr y not go rs4 and turbo the bugger 4.2 turbo  it will kill a ttrs 

 

Bring it on!

My thinking is that hurdy isn't purely into 1/4 miles drags, he does track days as well, so that rules out the S4 RS4 in my mind.  plus that route has already been done.  It would be crazy fast though. 

If i were to buy VAG and wanted the big power, id think id end up with the R36.  I think it looks better than the golf anyway.  saloons look better than hatches IMO.

or you could just get a focus RS   (queue the abuse)

I'm feeling the R36 transplant (with forced induction) with 4WD into a new shape Scirocco at the moment. A 600bhp Scirocco with 4WD and looking stock from the outside would be a great stealth car

Now thats a nice idea.. Hope you have lots of monies John..  Will be an awesome project!

i like that idea but what is the weight of that engine.  Would it not be better to go for something like a 2.5TFSI engine into the scirocco.  

what about dropping the 2.8 bi turbo S4 engine in there

2.5T FSI short block (on exchange) is £9k from Audi.. So thats just bottom end and head.. A complete engine IF you have a shortblock to drop in at the same time is closer to £15k.. Add on top making it work.. I don't think you'll be seeing many 2.5T FSI engine swaps put it that way..  

Scirocco R.. Gen 4 4WD conversion from an S3/Golf R then build the engine and go big turbo with proper fuel system.. 600hp would be a realistic goal..

It will weigh a damn sight less than the 3.6 and make just as much power and your not throwing everything away..

Even the Scirocco R is fugly in my opinion, but it's not my project. TT-RS is far more elegant.

The choice seems to be coming down to something not done before versus the track car you want to drive.

Rocco, strip it out, mid mount the r36, bring the cooling in from the sides, tubular framed

i double dare you

Though it seems the thought of buying a TTRS and spending a fraction of the cost on it to get to the same performance isn't an attractive proposition.. 

[Janner_Sy]

i see exactly where he is coming from. 

as good as it is to tune and drive it is a TT at the end of the day.

And with one comes a set of these


Some people cant drive jap cars cos of the image they bring, guess im the same with the TT lol.

Scirrocco all the way or a passat R36

In the same way, if you want anyone to take you seriously every again, jap cars should come with one of these..



I get your point though, in the same way buying an 8k Evo then spending £45k on it, it would be an absolute machine.. But would I want to be seen dead in one? No ta..
