you can pick a donor up from anywhere between 200 & 800 depending on quality really. Then its not much work to put them in to be honest, i would only charge around 1200 for the conversion. Most more established companys ask around the 2500-3000 mark but im trying to build up a reputation so doing very cheap work to start with.

had a look around and after taking the average of a few claims it looks to be between 6.5 and 7 seconds.

Dude........ your 14........ why are you looking at vr's? your never gonna get insured on a mk2 vr conversion even after you've past your test..

By the time you can insure it , there will be better engines around..

just chill.................... so is it your dads mk2 gti or yours when the time is right?
