I ment the rear diff cage, you mentioned Haldex, so I figured you'd be putting the whole cradle in.

It's kinda odd, I used to have a standard mk2 tank, but always used to fill up 45-47 litres before it would click off.

Maybe I never ran it down as far as I could.

Oh I see, I’ve got a mk2 rear end, and I’m as we speak, making a bracket to hold the haldex diff

That's not too bad, thought you'd have to go smaller with the rear cage.

In my old 20v (depending on how I drove it), I used to see about 290-310 miles to a tank.
I also had an effective volume of about 45 litres.

If you take a couple litres out for real world situations, you should see a range of about 280 miles.

No rear cage! It’s going to be a fully functional road car.

I used to get 350/400 miles on my old one with a 20v and that’s with the standard mk2 tank which is a bit bigger so, I don’t mind losing out a little but I don’t want to be filling up every 5 minutes! But this will be much quicker and heavier so it’ll use more for sure.

Hello all,

And my Instagram is @syncroMk2

Here is my current build, 4wd running haldex, with a 20vT and a K04-064 for the time being eventually I want to build a 16vT with more than 500bhp.

Going for the sleeper look, so staying on 14” factory standard bottletops, absolutely standard to look at, maybe slightly lowered but not much.

As I can’t upload the pictures to here I’ll upload them to imgur and then post them across, here’s a couple I think I may have already.

So I got the car on the spit, and stripped the interior out.



Then turned it over and gave the underside a clean.



Some TFR later and we are clean!



Then went to town with the grinder.

New Members Say Hi! / Hey!
Hello all,

Hope you are well and keeping safe during lockdown.

I’ve been a long term member and mod of Clubgti but I thought I’d come and say hello.

You may have seen on Facebook or whatever, I’m currently building a 4wd, 20v mk2 GTi as some would say, the unconventional way. 

I’ll get a thread up and post some pictures.
