So im looking at possibly buying a Leon 2.0 TFSI 185ps and possibly pulling the interior and converting it to a track car.
First of, is this a very bad idea or can it be fun on track?
Secondly what big problems should i be aware of regarding this engine?
It has had its belt replaced in due time and the engine has now done about 1600000km. To my knowledge it has had few owners and most likely the hpfp cam lobe has never been replaced or inspected, how much damage could this have caused? Would it be a reason to walk away from the car?
I also know about the carbon buildup issue, but i figured it can be cleaned reasonably easy.
The plan is to strip the interior, rebuild brakes and add better pads and fluids, better suspension, perhaps some small engine mods and then tires.
