AWD System

[chadzter]

hey guys, Well in about a year or so im thinking of buying a 1994 Volkwagon Golf VR6

Well because they are front wheel drive and im pretty sure no body has a AWD in aussie and i could be different too everyone, I was wondering if i could possibly change it too an AWD system, If i could how much would it cost??

Cheers Simon.

A LOT.
do the syncro vr6s have a unique floorpan? if so. I hope you have some mad fabbing skills!
itd probly be cheaper to go live in europe for 12 months and bring a real one back with you

So there wouldnt be any mechanics or any diffs out there that you could possibly do it?

I have googled it and i havent gotten anything or any info

[Tim]

vw did a factory syncro model. google for that

Just a random thought, can you import wrecks for parts? Loon, you might be able to field this one, as i've never imported a car before, but wonder if you had no intention of re-registering that specific car you might be able to import it as "parts"

Cheers

Nope.

I queried this with "The Authorities".....Definitely not. But you can bring in front and rear cuts. Go over there with a BIG angle grinder

[Golf Loon]

You used to be able to, but not any more.
Halfcuts or parts only.

[syncro]

Golf syncro has a different floorpan.

You would think so for an AWD to a FWD system. I don't think it would be worth it unless you wanted to just throw money away.

u wont get many advantages with it, unless u got some serious power comming out of that vr6
my mate had convert his subaru from FWD to AWD, was easy, subaru parts of another car just bolt on, but he didnt gain anything, infact he lost power, it takes more power to turn another 2 wheels

Car
Suspension
K&n Pod Filter
Shrick Manifold
New Tyres/Wheels
Racing Sparco Seats
Steering Wheel

Total: $13,230

I would be looking at doing something like that

[Tim]

cant do the steering wheel cos of the airbag. well. u cant do it legally anyways.

Did you wanna buy a schrick manifold? I have one in my car that i might be willing to let go at the right price

[BlackVr6ix]

there is a company called Berg Design in melbourne that used to make full replacement covers for our wheels. they could be made to whatever style and thickness you liked.

they may still have some in stock.
