      negative.......... The porsche V6 is a actual 'V' shape (90 or 60 degrees.... one of those) not 15 degrees like the R32/36 motors. Which is why it looks like such a tight fit compared to the VR family engines. Therefore would not have been done in large numbers before!

      I mean why would you, it produces the same power as the R36 engine (within a few kw's), and the R36 should fit easier and is designed for a transverse mounting. I guess he did it to say he had a Porsche engine in it?!

                  Ah, you serious?! Do you know what they are/if I could get replicas or something? I'd so love a Set for my dub (when I get it in 3 months ), otherwise I'm thinking of changing my brakes to a 5 stud pattern and slamming it on a set of 18" rs4 rims haha. Lots of work but I'm willing to pay to get it done!

                  • I'm pretty sure they still make them in 5x100 so if you change to that you can still get them, and those particular wheels are Rotiform NUE

                    • Theyre rotiform NUE indeed. They're beautiful. They were high on my list of wheel choices too. They make them in 4x100 and 5x100, 17x8 with a choice of 20 or 30 offset. Decently priced too. With 185/35 rubber they're pretty damn dope
                      ?|? Rotiform Wheels ?|?

                        That's sweet. They're pretty high on my list and they also offer powdercoating (gonna get mine done in white maybe) so I may be getting these in a few months time

                                What front end and lights are those?! Never seen them before, looks a bit like mk2 lights and custom grill
