You may want to think about redoing this if your doing this for performance:


Put a nice thick plate behind it and weld it to the body of the car. It is currently welded to a piece that has a lot of flex to it, that bar is pretty much worthless beyond just looks.

Example:

Thanks man, that's actually on my "To-Do List". I was planning on cutting the bar out, welding in nice big plates, then welding a new bar.

Believe it or not, that bar does do a fair amount already, especially keeping the rear end square. Pretty incredible. But that's part of the reason I wanna reinforce it, just to make sure it's all gunna stay in place.

We're at a slight hold, I blew the motor in my Corrado (daily), and will be swapping a VR into that over the next 24 hours. 

[aoj2108]

Are you swapping the VR from the Mk4 into the Corrado?

Nope, picked up a b3 passat obd1 VR. It's currently sitting out front of my house.

Between selling the leathers out of the Passat, the good parts from the G60, and scrapping the Passat shell I should have no problem recovering the money i spent on the donor car.

It's like getting a free VR swap 

Yeah man, it's crunch time.

Thanks dude.

if you're like me or most people on vortex all those parts will end up in your basement for a very long time taking up all the space

Oh i know. I have a basement full of interior parts, and a garage full of motors, trans', and more "I could sell this" parts than i care to admit.

[Brah]

Got both motor pulled, still need to swap the subframe, and wiring into the Rado. Fun
