Haldex GTI Conversion

[Poverty]

A little while ago, someone said that they had converted their GTI to haldex. Any more news on this?

Ben from Shark was planning on doing this to his octy II, I know of a complete front and rear subframe / propshaft of an R32 down the side of somebodys house who's missus is giving him grief over it!!!

Ive also got some R32 rear hubs you can have if it helps - just pay postage!!!!!!

lol never said I want to do it to mine, but you guessed correctly, its an option I am looking at. Just need to get some rough prices to see whether it would be worthwhile to me, or whether to just put the money towards a TT-RS instead.

Love the way the K1 looks, just the k04 isnt giving me enough power, and with more power I would like the tractability of 4wd.

dans 400 odd horses puts power down ok in FWD..

Yeah dans diff and other chassis mods put down the power better than my k04 did at 300hp never mind 360hp.

However I need like near 500hp dude. Speed freak

You know how it goes, get used to the power and all that. Need more go now. 4WD Cupra would be rare and cool, big turbo TT-RS would be nie too, but would prefer to haldex the cupra, BT it, and redo the whole interior. Just need to know if to haldex the cupra makes financial sense over a tt-rs

do you not want to try a limited slip diff and some engine mounts first,? that paired with some pilot sport cups should give you a sh*te load of traction

Would be an awesome car mate with haldex, the tt-rs will just be another tt!

Tried DanGB's car and it was awesome how easily it put the power to the floor, but I want to dispatch high power in all different types of weather conditions.

Plus it would be different as jules says.

Im basically at the cross roads with this car. Either take it up to a mental level of power, or get something quicker out of the box and mess with that.

buy something else that is quicker/more powerful out of the box and be done with it.

Trouble is alot of the more powerful cars ive been looking at are so heavy! Whenever I try to think of what to go for next I always come back to thinking evo 8, strip it out, do a BT on that and keep the cupra as a everyday car.

Or 997 Carrera S with a charger

[chungster]

4WD = weight full stop...unless u do some stripping!

Carrera S with charger? why?

Might aswell buy a GT2 or Turbo!

Mine is having this next week. Already have R888's ready for next season too

I agree about the weight penalty for Haldex!

Tried lifting the the rear drive shaft and transfer box and you soon know where the weight is
