IT HAS BEYGON! My 1.8T swap assembly by talx

3 minute(s) of a 36 minute read

Ok I have bin working on sketching a rear sub fame assembly to replace the original aluminum bridge that holds the differential on the rear sub frame 

The reason for this is to add two points for the assembly of the link rods of the rear suspension

This makes the swap quite simple because im am using the 4-motion sub frame which means less fabrication this also make the mounting of the sub frame quite easy only need to add a second cross member in the rear to get 4 mounting points for the sub frame

I will be using 3 links two traditional links from the sub frame to the wheel hub carrier's and one longditional link from the hub to the mounting point of the original sub frame 

In conjunction with golf mk2 front wheel hub carrier hubs and coilover struts

I'm lucky the tranny came with the front part of the drive shaft because it seams that the 4-motion 02J coupling is different from the 02M coupling

All though I will not be using the 4-motion drive shaft because it is impossible since the transfer sits of center you most use a drive shaft with 2 joints to accommodate for the stray

I will use a Rallye drive shaft shortened in the rear and change the front and rear couplings of curse I will take it down to the local drive shaft shop to have the work don and the shafts balanced

I have also decided to get a golf Rally tunnel this way I won't need to lower the engine and make new mounts also this way everything sits much better positioned

I'm probably leaving a lot out but I will update with in length descriptions of how to do this swap

now for pics of the rear subframe i have bin working on 

O!!! and a COOL! new trki i learnd on CAD
