good effort, however, i can think of more reasons not to do this, than to do it.

well that shut alot of people up who thought you were dreaming, good effort. :thumbsup:

Hi, They said man would never go to the moon!!!Good luck as it can only inspire and cindle the imagination of the owner with more needs than the manufacture recons we should have.

good luck mate id like to see it driving when its done. not just at parking speeds either lol

is it the 4.2v8? must be, think ud be better off putting the SD! engine in..smaller block less power but u can tune it up to something decent like 300bhp? if not more?

what a conversion!!!! bet thats gona be spinning in 5th gear

i agree, no point in all tht power/tourqe if u cant put it to the tarmac so its just a waste, unlesss its just a show car?

is it me or does that just not fit :-s lol

not just u lol well if it does go into a golf or a3 then i MIGHT do but cant see it being easy lol

what a complete waste of time!!

typical, not thought out, 'look at me' type modification that really winds me up!!!!

dont really think its a mod lol a mod would be something tht will work?

So many haters. If new things werent tried then it would be a crap place to live in! Carry on mate, looking good!!

Its not my car and not me doing it so you can say what you like lol.

Just thought I would share something different thats happening over here with everyone.

There isnt a lot of room but tbh have any of you worked on a new car recently? Some of the stuff on the VAG product is rediculous.

If no one tried any thing new there would be no 20vt swaps or VR6's in polo's end of, why not try giving the guy some credit for what he's achieved so far?

Hat's off too the Mofo I really hope it turns out well for the guy doing it and all the hard work pays off

I hope this project gets finished, I'd love to see this working. Was always gutted that the attempt to put the same engine into the back of a mk2 polo never saw the road, although it did apparently drive at one point.

We all need to see a video of this thing going.

Good effort this.

Whats the SD engine from; the 3.6 from the old skool Audi V8? Pretty sure thats a cast iron block when i stood next to one on a pallet at an Audi Owners club members farm LOL

Good work!

io ment to say the SD1 engine from a rover lol, 3.5 v8 amazing engine....shame the car was crap lol...then again it was british...longer on one side than the other...only problem with putting it in is what tranny u going to run?

seen a camper wi the 3.5 in, never heard it as the guy i was talking to about it...didnt have the keys =[ was at all types...black one, behind the polo stand under a tree...if anyone saw it?

updates?????

madness man, who cares if its not fast round corners cos it will/may understeer, itll be epic on the motorway eating big boys toys all day and night long

where are you guys and whens the estimated time of finishng?

Cant believe there are so many people hatin' on this thread! lol.

Can't any one do anything just because they can any more? If he wanted somthing fast or that handled well then I guess he wouldnt be messing with a polo! I think its ridiculous, I love it.

Brilliant. Id fit two sets of R1 bike carbs myself,but I'm not doing it.

Please keep us updated, i wanna see this on the road.

You just want to fit carbs to anything don't you mikey :lol:

But awesome stuff, can't wait to see it finished!

Amazing tbh..

How come that twin engines Lupo is loved but this gets grief?

Who cars if it cant corner or it spins up in 5th, that's some balls right there!

thats just abit epic!

i cant believe it happened

i thought it was a joke lol

You just want to fit carbs to anything don't you mikey :lol:

Imagine the sound it'd make! It'd be worth the conversion for that alone. :nod:

I'm sure it'll handle like a dog, and maybe even sit at the line spinning its wheels 'til the tyres pop, but it's gonna sound awesome! :-D

Just what i was thinking.

Congrats, this thing is gonna be monstrous in a straight line! It clearly isn't made for someone who wants to corner... But all the same it will eat straight lines, as long as you can keep it in one
