Latest Update

Ok folks have an update, although it may seem little , this little is actually quite a lot. I picked up my Mk3 subframe which i bought to Cannab. Ive institched the 2 engine cradles for the engine mounts left rear and gearbox rear. bothe subframes are similar but narrower, so the cradles will be in a different spot and must measure point to point 600mm. The 6N2 subframe will be in and out a few times to find the right spot, next conundrum is the engine front mount. I wont be having a dogmount like other 6N conversions have. Im hoping to fit a mount to the front and have a front crossmember. This also will be custom. Not an easy platform to work with really. Ok i thought getting a side mount casting from an inlune audi would bolt up even if it meant fitting a canted oil filter housing which i also have but nope, no good, the bolt pattern on the 058 block is different from the 06A block. So stay tuned for that part.
Anyway have a look at the pics of the latest
Enjoy
Here is the 2 subframes, rear 6N2 and front MK3



Here is the cradle i detached from the Mk3 frame


And here is the cradles roughly sitting on the 6N2 frame , you should get the general idea where my heads at

Another piece to the jigsaw puzzle hey mate I have a feeling this is building much welcomed speed!

[Umai Naa!!]

I hope the front member you use for the front engine mount is a lot neater than some of the conversions I've seen! I came across a VR6 conversion in a 6N1 that was very very rough.

Not too far away now, Jimmy!

[Jmac]

Hey Umai Naa! yeah you are right ive seen a couple of rear roughies, ive really no need to have it rough, not in a big rush, however must ask the one you saw how was the engine mounted?? did he have this idea im utilising?? using MK3 cradles on the 6N2 frame?? Nearly all the pics ive been able to check out of a 1.8T conv they fail to show the mounts, haha probanly coz they wre rough hey?? who knows

Yeah, he had it mounted the same as a MK3 Golf. He made his own front member to take the front engine mount. Wasn't pretty.

You could probably use the MK3 Golf one, but it looks like the front chassis legs are a bit higher up on the 6N1/2 compared to the MK3 Golf. I'd have to go outside, and have a look at my pair to confirm it.

[Jmac]

Thanks mate, i got one already and its way different. Legs are also narrower, but been thinking of modifiying the MK3 one too though, not sure yet.

They were stock in MK4 GTI's

Not sure if all of them had Recaros tho

[Jmac]

MK4s came with a few different options, leather, recaros with black check , grey check and red check, mind you who cares they are cool . Havent seen many red check so couldnt resist, ive sat them in today and have to say im super stoked, i have to of course do some mods to fit them properly but when they are in the are gonna suit this car to the max. Happy daze.
Pics to come and im sure there will be some haters, it is a forum after all
Main thing is im happy , yeha!!!!! I got pics so ill load up what i can later
