This rare model also is the only golf in the UK to have FOUR ENGINES! yes you'd think you were flying a 747... alas only one of them is in the car and working, but it's the thought that counts I'm sure.

This is the first golf to have 3 engines, soon to be four. Alas the hunt for the rare and wonderful parts needed to turn a RHD syncro golf into a fire-breathing monster are...well..rare. Here's the plan..


Take 1 block from a g60-syncro (has all the transfer box holes in the right places, also has under piston oil jets), add a 16v head from a regular 16v golf, add some forged pistons (from an RS2 potentially), a balanced bottom end, balanced top end, knife-edged crank, ported & polished head mated to a custom downpipe etc.

At this point, possibly aquire another rolling shell (or a diff car for the time being), weld, sand and seam-weld the whole thing till it's mint, solid & very strong. Add TT/G60syncro drivetrain, remove part of passenger footwell for downpipes, add previously prepared engine, add forced induction, respray in midnight blue, leather interior, tints, 1-piece poly rear windows, numerous electronic gizmos and generally tear around the place as you do...

er something like that anyhow... lets see if i get this motor together in it's basic 16v format first eh ;-)


Awaiting fitment:
- Infinity 6x9s awaiting thinner, lighter parcel shelf
- 16v motor (+ turbo or blower - depends..)
- clearcross headlights, smoked indicators & repeaters [prob not gonna bother]
- smoothed boot, dropped plate etc [oh go on then]
- de-handled rear doors [dunno about this...got a welder now tho so who knows]
- jet engine
- Nuclear powered wigwam with additional Teepee-turbo-matic-buffalo-misting.
