Just watching London chop shop on dicovery Channel, they fitted a 400 bhp impreza engine in a mk 2 golf

I bet that was a bit of a **** about

especially when the 1.8T 20V or VR6 can both be made to put out that kind of power and go in a Mk 2 ALOT easier than (id imagine) a flat 4 would.

Flat four and all the running gear

bugger that, you can drop a mk2 shell onto an audio Quattro system from a TT or S3 miles easier and get similar power

nay cheap like but it can be done.

surely nothing from a subaru fits a mk2 golf? what an **** on!

Yeah but I think the whole point of this show is to be totaly different.

scoobymyster

Yes true, I wouldn't feel safe in anything they've touched, I can't beleive the engine on that Scooby was any good. Timing belt had snapped and no damage, if I'd have fetched it it would have been shagged

I remember seeing that BMW they made at Santa Pod, they had something like 6" wheels spacers on it!

I didn't hear them say 400BHP. The naration kept saying 300BHP but it was from a newage WRX so what 240BHP odd??

The lad lining it all up did say he was surprised how much of it lined up. Its a shame they didn't do what Vegas asked for and kept it looking stock on the outside but then there would be no point having Leepu.

I actually quite like it. The cars look a bit sh1te but I like the banter.

I think its about time this country done programs like this on tv. I am fed up with going to garages asking for a job to be done and there layed back attitudes saying ummm errrrr um errrr that could be done but it will be exspensive !!!!!!!!! just bloody do the job I came in and asked about ffs thats what they get paid for.

Yeap, I want my camber setting up, but because the ajustment bolts are seazed up, no one wants to touch it. Even local dealer told me I'd be better getting a tyre company to do it. Gonna cost me £50 to get it done. I get about £35 for a full days work ( kitchen fitter)
It does **** me off
