Re: VR6 motor in a scirocco
Agreed, he wont know every single detail (or yet, maybe he does??), but
at this point out of the 3 total sciroccos that I know of that have the
1.8T, its hard to be picky in who you talk to, or better yet, who is
available. I still think they would like to talk to him regardless if
he put it in himself or not... but then again thats my opinion... In
regards to the question at hand "plus what would i have to mod to make
it fit?" which was posted by Derrick Flo, I have the strange feeling
Kelly would know that. Maybe he doesn't? I dont know how "nitty
gritty" you would have to get in this case. You could only ask to find
out. If he doesn't know, I'm sure he wont pretend that he does (unlike
what many other people do)... simple as that.
