Was this engine going in your Rail? And if so whats going in now?
Sorry can't help myself! Just keen to see someone in a VW powered rail!!

Cheers Craig.

This was the engine to go in the rail but plans have changed.
If a can sell this stuff ill hopefully be setting up something else a bit different, most likely a twin turbo jap V8. The VW motor just isnt going to suit my needs. The Engine parts im asking 4500 for owe me a lot more than that. Would make a good basis for a wild street/race beetle!
Australia may Have to wait a bit longer for a VW rail.

From a VW enthusiasts perspective that's disappointing that you won't be using a big V-Dub donk!!
However good luck with the project and have a blast.

Cheers Craig

I think ive seen the car your talking about, an older shape yellow celica? thats sort of what im planning to do. It works out cheaper and fits the car better and makes more power. VW's arn't cheap performance. But if you want to go VW you wont get much better than the stuff I want to sell;)
