Cheaper to get a donor car, i got one ages ago, cost me about £350, but i just split it and kept my car a 1.1 and got myself an xsi that came up cheap
#17: Re: engine swap Author: Seabook, Posted: Tue Jul 12, 2011 5:19 am ---- think there is a cheap"track" gti for sale in here

you could pick a GTI up for less than a grand, so just enjoy the car as it is and maybe change stuff like the wheels etc
#19: Re: engine swap Author: PugJH, Location: NorthantsPosted: Tue Jul 12, 2011 5:29 am ---- yeah £600 for the track GTI, might aswel buy it and drive that, sell your car and keep any profit or spend it on uprating things.
Thats if your only bothered about money and speed.
Otherwise go the whole hog mate and change it all just so it costs more, looks like your car does now and becomes a 5dr GTi???
