A complete GTD intercooler setup would be cool.

hahahahha i wish!!!! I will contact my uncle and see what he can find....maybe get some prices too.....

I'm doing the same thing... not contacting your uncle about a V10, but talking to some importers about finding myself a V6 AKN to go in the QSW.

Bet the V10 would fit, though. It'd be like having two I5s in there! No room for anything else... :shock:

Be a slick little sleeper, though. "Dude! You just got smoked by a DIESEL WAGON!"

But the V6 should fill in my requirements nicely.

if you're looking for stuff to make some $$ on, KR 16v engines' intake manifolds (60mm) and intake cams are always good sellers. Especially if the throttle body is on the driver side.
Also rare E-code headlights like A1 jetta (with grille and maybe turn signals)
rallye golf. I'd be happy to get a pair of good OE E-code headlights for a B3 passat.

so far i have been looking into corrado e-codes....my summer car is a corrado and i know those will sell....prolly not the best parts to import but its something to start with!!! i was thinking of importing some diesel parts from the european engines....but if its not worth it i wont bother!

Right, I forgot!

Maybe someone will chime in with a suggestion... I'm looking to ditch the ugly boxy headlights on the Q. Looking for something in a quad round look, with replaceable lamps instead of sealed beam units so I can go the HID route for high-beams/interstate night-driving lights.

Anyone know anything that'll fit the bill? If not, I might have to modify some BMW headlights... You find it, I'll buy it!

1.9 idi non turbo intake manifolds, mk1 jetta bumpers, hmm. and like someone said before, an entire gtd intercooler setup, is the battery tray different?

Whats a Q? Quantum? that the same as a Passat?

I try to jump on anything interesting I see, I go to a fair few VW shows..

I have already sent out 3 IDI non turbo manifolds to the US, just sending a JX (Vanagon TD) injection pump out and a oil filter housing with built in oil cooler for the MKI Golf GTI (A1 rabbit)

I have just raped a Passat of it's AAZ today and sent it down the road to get squashed! We don't get sentimental about knackered old cars here!

Yeah, Quantum. Not exactly a Passat, more like the Passat's daddy. Only reason I'm sentimental about this one is it's Syncro and in pretty good shape overall.

Show me a picture and I'll see whats available..
Just so I know what model Im looking for.

I'd think it'd be good to import a bunch of later 1.6TD injection pumps. Here in the US, I don't think we got a lot of the later ones that had some nice features to better adjust the residual fueling and cold start high idle. I believe some of the later ones had slightly different LDA's as well.

Anyway, it'd be good to get some from Europe to provide people with good bases for mods, etc. I had to get one from Canada to send to Giles...

Baxter · « **Reply #13 on:** December 12, 2006, 12:10:00 pm »

Once I have finished messing with the SB/RA JX and AAZ pumps I seem to be hoarding I will let some go!
If I see them at good money I buy them! I got 2 boxes under the bench just rammed full of old pumps.

an entire 1.7td would be nice haha
