I guess it's too late to suggest a VR6 swap...

To be honest the VR6 swap is not for me, I will hardly drive it once done and when I do I just want a steady reliable cruiser.

Thanks mate appreciate the feedback, keeps me motivated. I don't buy magazines to be honest but might pick one up.

I wanted a clean Mk3 GTI with a VR6 for my first car, ended up buying a Mini.
