so you mean a vts engine ;)
find a vts engine,loom and ecu all the same as your current ecu plug e,g single plug or 3 plug then wip out the old and in with the new

Yes, but it'll still handle like it's drunk and won't stop, so best to use a VTR/VTS platform really, unless you fancy swapping all the suspension over too, which means cutting the rear arches up.

dont have to cut the rear arches at all unless you put big wheels in there

Or because the VT* Rear beam is wider than a drum rear beam and anything other than skinny little steelies will catch on the arch lip.

the 5mm a side will make no difference
unless you go silly itll be fine
i went to massive wheels (16x7j with 5mm spacers) for my flatarch and only had to trim them
for average size of 14 or 15 it wot matter
oh also i was down 55mm at the back

I thought there was more than 5mm a side. If you look at a Furio and a TR rear end, even with the same wheels the Furios look alot more tucked in.
Chap I know put 15's on and had rubbing issues when he fitted the VTR beam, although it was probably his inner arches and shagged bearings :fcuk:

as far as i know its 5mm a side
seen a few drum converted flat arches running 15s no problems

Guess the offset of the wheel would have the biggest impact on it!
