New Golf R36!
VW have been testing a new golf R36 which has the uprated engine with DSG box from the new Passat R36, including deeper spoiler at the front and much bigger air intakes.

Looks pretty nice and must go like an absolute rocket.
Probably in competition with the uprated civic and focus

R36 engine would be nice in a Mk1 (if it fits). I'm assuming its simply a bore and stroke of the existing VR6?
there is always one…

Well yeah. Imagine if someone had done an R32 engine conversion, thinking they'd created the ultimate Mk1, only to find out that the R36 was the same external size and would have fitted…..

R36 engine plus huge huffer= mk1 fun how to twist a chassis in two easy steps

I think realistically if you were doing that type of conversion you'd be looking at seam welding the floorpan and main passenger cell, then also incorporating an FIA spec roll cage, which also goes forwards to pick up the front suspension turrets. That would be plenty strong enough for the engine.
It would be sensible to convert the engine to run on methanol, too.
