Hey everyone,
I'm fairly new to the scene. I've got a 1996 1.5l GLI Coupe basically stock as tits with 115000ks on the clock. Had no problems with the car at all so far and am looking to get a better feel from my lovely first car.
I'm considering a 1.8 engine conversion. Found a couple offers (currently looking at one for $400, checking what that includes now and what its status is) off a rear ended wreck.
I was wondering if anyone had any pointers, advice, threads to look at etc. on the topic?
As far as I can see (http://www.vicroads.vic.gov.au/Home/Reg ... ations.htm) since its an option to have the 1.8 engine a simple letter from my mechanic and a quick engine/VIN check will prove sufficient for VicRoads and of course I'll have to notify my insurance.
Any info is greatly appreciated.
Cheers to the New Years!
