After thinking about what I wanted to do with the S I have finally decided to keep it rebuild it and do a Fast-Road setup.

So far I am going to need to redo the polys at the front as im getting some squeaks coming on and off the drove and replace some front parts.

Looking to some B8's and Fast road cams.


Now, The engine is currently on 85000 so my plan is to, buy another engine from eBay and start with rebuilding the head.


After cams, I plan to go TB, So I am after some advice.



What clutch?
Will standard gearbox be ok?
Things I can reuse when doing the build?


It will be my first engine rebuild, so I will be reading up a lot more before I take on the challenge but at the moment im feeling pretty confident about the whole thing.



Any advice would be great, thank you.

if your rebuilding the engine why get a different one? or is that to keep it on the road whilst you do? just 85k isn't terribly high and you know the engine more than a random ebay one!

Yer bud, the other engine is to keep the car on the road as I use it to and from work.
