stoo2000 Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 What you mean which, manual/auto? Manual if thats what you meanStu was asking about what type of gearbox you want to use, i.e what donor car. I'll tell you one thing. It's not cheap.

p4u1 Posted August 31, 2010 Author Share Posted August 31, 2010 Oh rite ive seen a rs2k 4x4 box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Craig855S Posted August 31, 2010 Share Posted August 31, 2010 IS the RS2K 4WD the same chassis as a 2WD non RS? If so then surely it's possible so long as you buy an RS2K 4WD donor car and change all of the underneath of it to your car..... TBH I think it'll work out easier, and cheaper to just buy a RS2K 4WD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

p4u1 Posted September 1, 2010 Author Share Posted September 1, 2010 oh rite cheers guys just wanted to see what it involved really Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluliz Posted September 1, 2010 Share Posted September 1, 2010 (edited) oh rite cheers guys just wanted to see what it involved really Really you'd be looking at cutting the rear floor out, installing one that takes the rear diff your going to use, Installing a tunnel from the engine to the Diff and installing completely new rear suspension and hubs. and then there is all the other stuff, Transfer box, prop, handbrake, rear brakes, painting, rust prevention, sound proofing. Your be better off spending £4500 on an Evo4 or 3-4k on a Golf V6 4Motion (204bhp) Edited September 1, 2010 by bluliz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
