1991 VW GTI 'VR6 Swap'

Asking $24,000
1991 VW GTI 'VR6 Swap'

Overview

Sporting a 2.8L VR6 engine, this Mk 2 GTI is wearing a generous list of upgrades to bring it to the next level. A Wavetrac limited-slip differential works with a Stage 2 South Bend clutch to put the power down properly, and a more capable radiator keeps temperatures in check. H&R Street coilovers have been employed to keep it tidy in the corners, and Wilwood brakes have been fitted up front to keep braking consistent.
