Great project.
That winch set-up is the neatest/best I've seen, without the nose wieght issues. How are you going to fit the bash-plate?

Ok, so this is an forever ongoing discussion... But I have to ask. The audi V6 is a great engine but heavy and raises your centre of gravity. Wouldn´t a subaru 2.5 be a better option? A raised syncro on high wheels with a heavy and higher-sitting engine? I would do my best to keep weight down and low. Ville, next year you should come to the Arctic Circle Bus Meet :D It´s not THAT far from Oulo :D Edited by taigagreen - 12 Oct 10 at 12:11 |

The only issues with the subaru is the deep sump. Otherwise it is the perfect up-grade. As VW intended, light & low. I'm in the process of fitting one to mine but haven't put too much thought into sump-shortening yet as I just want to hear it roar first, then start tinkering.

Early days & not too sure what that is.
I was thinking lobbing a couple of inches off the bottom & maybe adding a oil cooler somehow.
Sorry for hijack!

Wheels are BM racing, it`s brand of www.specialfalgar.se
Thanks! orginal bash-plate fits, no problem:
2.8 V6 is heavy, mayby it raise centre gravity, and mayby there is better engines. ok. But, it`s a VAG engine, nothing beats cubic inches and they are cheap. Subaru engine would cost me 3000€ vs. v6 1500€ Arctic Circle Bus Meet 2011, here we come! |

I agree about the VAG thing. It feels right :D I can´t imagine the price difference between the two engines being that great in Norway. I was recently offered a complete 3.0 H6 from an outback for 15000NOK, thats about €1800. A 2.5 would be around €1500. Thats what I´m going for in my doka :D See you next july then :D |
