It's secondhand, came off my A3 done less than 10000ks, so like new but a fraction of the 2006 price I paid.

Im happy with the choice, since making the choice ive had a look into the making of the JBS04. Check out the JBS website, pretty impressive. Gavs A3 was a rocket and had a fair bit more weight than the 6n2 has so should be a fun handful.

Got my High flow exhaust manifold coming now been puting it off as i was hoping to get one made but my Dad has sourced one which is an ATP he reckons, be happy with that, also be really happy fitting it off tha car, last couple ive done were on the car and was a tight fit, 2 nuts are a pain and need to be done first before the rest, ill be taking note when fitting mines off the car. Also have an FK single DTM wiper system set up on its way. That really brings back memories, im sure i hava a mid life kicking in Hahaha.

Not really, i havent really made a proper start to this so far with my full diary ive inly been able to gather parts, research etc. I am a step ahead having the engine and box out, new engine is on a stand and torments me every time i walk ito the shed, now that im getting some Saturdays back the tinkering will begin Gearbox is also tormenting me sitting under the engine stand haha. So much can and probably will be done to both units before it sits in the pointy end. As its not a Gti im gathering 6N2 Gti bits from the UK too, Couple of these conversions have been done in the Uk but want this one to be a bit different even if its just the way its dressed.
Hopefully have some follow ups soon, im super keen dont worry about that

Minor update in terms of gathering swag, FK single wiper kit arrived!! and have snared a set of Hubcentric spacer adapters for the wheels. Probably only benefit of having flu, tons of net time hunting for bits. Looks like i might be ditching the AGU inlet and going something way better. Hoping to hear about a full Corrado caliper and housing set for 280mm brakes.
Not long till spanners touch this thing. Once better and all caught up itll be on.

Some updates

Have some updates, as i use a workshop for bigger jobs now and the rest mobile it was time to tidy up the shed and make room for the Polo. Here is a couple of pics after it had a bath for the last time being a 1.4,
,
That badge will have to come off i think

Here she is in its now home for a while up on stands.

Here is a cheeky pic of the mill under wraps at the moment, by the way that flag was personally signed by Frank Beila back at Donington when i went there with Audi. Bit of useless for ya but all well has a special place for me so seemed fitting it covered a special thing underneath it


Couple of things left to do on my other cars then it is on. This post will merge as well to the resto threads as it will soon be for real

Dash coming out this weekend. New idea on mounting the mill. I don't want it sloshing around so if plan pulls off I'm not chassis mounting it . Picking up the items tmw and will decide from there. If it works it will be heaps more rigid in the power plant bay
Updates and pics soon .
