Where is your god now....

is it legal for LeMons as it is not a production car, otherwise...soo much fun

Saw that was thinking how cool, then I saw it was on the left coast and way to far to go retrieve a LeMons car.

That fails the Lemons legality test on a multiple of issues. Especially under the 2011 rules.

But its cool as hell :)

The apocalypse must be near.

I am glad that car is SOOOoooooo far away as that would be a lot of fun with a 1.8 Turbo engine

Priorities man....gotta have tunes!

so to be clear...

A 1.7 vw from the early 80s has the same boltpattern as a modern 1.9 tdi?

Please say yes...

Yup, a tdi will quickly explode the transmission a 1.7 is likely bolted to though.

I was thinking for K-cars. Omnis got a 1.7 VW with the 3spd torqueflite transaxle. It's been built to hold 8 and 9 second 1/4 mile cars, so power is not really a big issue. It would take a lot of work to get a 1.9 to the ~600lb ft that those motors are making.

Im kind of on a 'plan for all possible k-car motor swaps' thing.
