I went today and picked up some VR swap parts and my "euro" rad. The 5 lug swap stuff is from a VR6 Passat. Is it me or is this brake setup BIGGER than a MK3 VR6 Golf setup??


Smokes are just for size ref as I could not find the tape measure.





Mk4 VRI mani U/L with inj's.

Got a whole bunch of nothing done today..lol.. We cleaned out the garage a bit to make more room but that is about it.

Oh yea, I wiped down the RHD bulkhead and used some self etching primer on it to make sure the seam sealer channel is nice and fresh.. Maybe tomorrow DubbinxHAMx will finish the firewall (removing the globs of seam sealer from it) when he comes over so we can get this bulkhead installed!.!. LMAO

I'm really curious to see how the MK4 manifold works out.

Well it flows air just like any other mani, just better.. LOL, just messing with ya. The nice thing about the MK4 mani is that it's designed to open up the runners at a certain rpm which allows more air flow equaling more POWAH! They are bad a$$ if done right.

[steveo27]

What do you plan on using to control it?

I kicked this idea around for a while... Here is some information if you are interested.

That RPM switch is a good route to go if you don't have any other means to control the system. I personally am using a MegaSquirt standalone ECU and I will control it from that.

[steveo27]

Awesome. Can't wait to see some progress.

[StinkBugz]

I actually found another Mk4 mani I had laying around..lol.. All black.

[StinkBugz]

Got the RHD bulkhead in today. DubbinxHAMx came over to help out and it is finally in!! We cleaned up the firewall and sprayed some self etching primer on it to make sure it will not rust.

[DubbinxHAMx]

Lol the first pic you can see my jetta a little bit hahaha. Here are a few more pics here is Stinkbugz going HAM lol and the bulkhead in

[FlyinbySTi]

wow, great thread to follow. This is what I'll be doing to my Cabby as soon as I find a new job.

[StinkBugz]

Here is a quick update. Got the bulkhead in and rebar all done. The RHD did not have a tilt so I used my LHD tilt steering.

[StinkBugz]

New addition. Can you say YAY!! LMAO

[FlyinbySTi]

what color carpet are you going to put back in. I notice you have the beige door cards, so you had the light colored carpet in there did you?

[DubbinxHAMx]

He is running full black interior I think. I know he has a fresh black carpet, euro dash is black too

[StinkBugz]

I actually only have the front 1/2 of the carpet. Yes it is black but I am having a HARD A$$ED time trying to find black leather rear seats and black cards for the back!! Did the Cabby come with black leathers at all??

[DubbinxHAMx]

Well if they had that beige leather n tan, safe to assume they did in black. Prolly hard as **** to find hahaha

Aren't you supposed to be working on your wifes car?? Get back to work!

[StinkBugz]

I got my new hood delivered today!! WOOHOO!

Home sweet home..

[red01vr6]

So sweet. I love RHD cars... how badly I wish my mk4 was RHD.

[StinkBugz]

A little work done today. The car came to me with a 1/2 completed side molding delete job and I didn't want to finish it so I took it off.

The door and the rear 1/4 panel are what was done.


Filler panel taken off


Ground some of the spot welds down


Quick coat of self etching primer so the rust will stay away till I get the bodywork done by someone more capable than me..lol..


Took the door off since I can replace it easier than fixing it!


Also did the RHD cabin filter while it was nice out today..


Cabin filter mount in place (minus the filter)
