1.4 to Golf 1.8GTI engine swop

[Red Ibiza VR6]

Mate a 1.8 in Oz is a little engine. Blokes laugh if you say 1.4. I`ve got a real car too.
This conversion was just for fun really, I had all the bits, it was only wasting my time. The Mrs likes driving it though, which is a result.

Arent you Australians meant to drive big engined V8 Saleens (spelling) Holdens and Fords?

Bet the power to weight of the ibiza means it can keep up with a few of em though.

think of that being a 'sleeper' at the lights against someone in a Holden....lol the look on their face would be priceless ( not that you come across many 'lights' in Oz)

Yeah its very amusing, there are a few lights around here. The car has a scrape up the side and the plastic wheel trims and a surprising turn of speed. Real sleeper.

The Mrs has been driving it and always comes back with a smile

Nicely done. For the full sleeper treatment keep the 1.4 badges!
