Thinking of bailing out on my ED30!!!!

Bi Turbo V6 Rocco FTW.....

Rare as rocking horse, stealthy, 450BHP+, 4WD....

You could have a 10 sec 1/4 mile lambo worrier and nobody need know

If we're talking about image, I think the Rocco is more of a hairdresser's car. And it looks like a Golf which has been squeezed through a toothpaste tube. A small engine'd TT might look a bit 'feminine' to some people but not the TT-RS. So what anyway?

The full race Scirocco's look good but their bodywork is extremely modified.

ok no more f in about   whats the budget? rocco cost 20k engine 10k then all the drive train not sure if you want AWD or haldex i would go AWD and then there is fitting it in so you will need to cut the floor up and also do the boot floor too,you have brakes so thats a few quid saved but your going to have 50k in the car one way or the other and then there is all the other stuff that you forget about when you start a project so you could have some silly money in a rocco

....As if you'd be worried about some bloke in his superfast Scirocco when driving your Lambo! I know which I'd rather own, regardless of performance.

Performance VW have a turbo'd 3.2V6 haldex Scirocco in their most recent issue (from HPA I think?). Costs upwards of US$100,000!

[Hurdy]

Yes, I've seen one of those - 565bhp.

Mat - budget is "fluid". The ED30 has had £40k in it for under 400bhp, so £100/bhp at a guess.

I wouldn't want to spend over £50k on the build in total as I'd rather get a new car above that.

VAGs are expensive to tune though, especially the high capacity engines.  plus you pay the premium for having such a good interior.

One thing though, what about an M3, older shape and get it supercharged or turbo'd etc.  BMWs rock

Yep thats retail and £60KGBP

My mates got a full drivetrain from a Mk5 R32 Engine/Box Front sub frame/Rear Subframe/Propshaft for around £3k less a TSi engine plus Stage 1 (350-390BHP) Blower kit for now (£7k) plus fitting/adaption.

Would be a great car that could probably be done for 30-35k, Im guessing getting a reliable 500BHP from a 3.2l displacement is easier and therefore cheaper than 500BHP from a 2.0L displacement

Plus with an appropiate exhaust just how good would it sound

Just out of interest what is an average cost of changing an engine in a car? Just the labour for the engine?

Nobody said it was a better car Robin just that it would worry one. I think its fair to say you're not on your own to prefer a lambo over a rocco...its just the six figure price tag thats stopping me buying one tomorrow funnily enough

[MAT ED30]

dont start the price thing as its not about the money just like the golf r
