does anyone else think this would have been a great extra option to have a 4wd gti from factory ?

yea it would of been great but golfs have moved a few mk's on from the mk4

power loss through the diff makes it pointless

They sort of did... In the form of the Audi S3

very true and the s3's are deffo holding there price

i thought like the anni could have been or something. with more power it would be a nice drive. even with 210hp i cant put the power down in 1st 2nd gear with 4wd that is taken away aint it

Hmmmm i thought somewhere overseas did a 4wd GTI????

Thats what everyone with a 2wd golf says lol

I can safely say having the quattro set up compared to a fwd golf is a massive difference. The whole car drives TOTALLY different. Sooo much better!

fuck you lol im jealus must be a different car...? how much without being rude does it cost to complkete the comversion

Buy a 4motion shell and put your engine in - my shell was £750, got a free front end and then bought an Audi S3 for the engine - which worked out free after I'd sold the rest of the S3.

Unfortunately I blew it up and spent plenty more on it than originally anticipated lol

you've obviously never driven an AWD 1.8T

and the A3 1.8T quattro, the octavia 4x4 and the TT.

lol really thats not good. what about using my car now for the engine ?the aum engines good ?where would i be able to get a 4motion shell ?

i kind of agree in the sense that if the Golf had still been on the K03s, with 4WD it would of been pointless as the loss it considerable especially when compared to the small output the K03s makes.

HOWEVER, a K04 in a Golf would of been a different story...but then you are treading on the toes of the S3, which makes the premium of the Audi badge less justifiable.

I do wish that VW had put the 4WD and bigger turbo in the MK4/MK5 as they look so much nicer than their S3 counterparts.

exactly my thinking i know there are 4wd 1.8t out there but none of them are the mk4 golf i love my mk4 but i really hate fwd cars lol

My mates mapped ko3s Audi A3 quattro shifts really well for the size of the turbo!

i think 1.8t in a 4motion is the way ill go just need to find a nice doner

Theres a Bora for sale in our classifieds for a good price! Could sell the engine and interior on and have a cheap shell!

Interesting...

My theory was always that a mapped 1.8T is nippy, but not rapid...thus by adding more weight and giving it a bigger transmission loss you are going to slow it down to such a stage that it does not really warrant the 4WD...[*-)]

However, as said, that was just my theory...and as I have never driven an a3 quattro I guess my view is 'hollow'. I would be interested in trying one...but then it comes back to the fact that to have 4WD, you have to have an A3, which I think are not as nice looking.

Dan, fancy putting a 4WD system and big turbo on my Anni []
