Andy @ ACR that built my car could do it easily.. There are plenty of people out there that would take the job on, but I think its more a question of who do YOU trust to do the work..

So would you go built motor and big turbo at the same time?

I was giving this serious thought when I was fed up in Afghanistan with a pile of money in the bank...

Maybe next time round eh

Would do haldex first, then save up again for the other bits.

If it was me I would do it the other way round, at least then you can get a taste of a big power FWD car, you may even decide you dont want to go 4WD.. There a lots of other ways of gaining traction without going 4wd..

Yep, S3 was 4WD and it was great.. Fancy a silly power FWD car now.. Seriously man, a FWD car with a well sorted chassis, proper suspension, big sticky tyres, plate diff etc etc etc will give any 4WD car a run for its money off the line..

Drag FWD cars will get down to low 1.7 60 foot times, 4WD is around 1.6 with the same power.. But once your rolling then the FWD car will just pull and pull because of the lack of weight and transmission losses associated with the 4WD system..

i have always protested and tried to tell people this when they dare to take the piss out of FWD

Think I will sit back and save whilst you test your theory.

Unfortunately its the same people who seem to think a subscription to Evo magazine and watching Top Gear on Sky+ means they know anything about cars..

Once again, more than happy to be the test pilot.. More fun when your first anyways

Is there a 4WD Leon on the continent, I know there was one in the previous shape, the neighbours in France have one.

If I was doing this kind of project, I'd want a donor car that had it as OE - that way you can compare as you transfer kit. Otherwise you're chasing your tail forever.
