Hi mate,

Do u still have these? syncro rear subframe mounts

Cheers

Euro car parts do these for £20 a side. These are F.A.G branded very good OEM quality IMO.

SOLD

Thanks for your comments fellas, it is a really nice kit.

Was meant for my Corrado 16v not happening now.

Think I may have to ebay it…..thought it would have been snapped up by now as I have it on several forums.

[blue95]

I have recently changed the t/box on my corrado (with rallye g/box), without removing the engine or g/box.

You will have to remove the prop, drive shaft, downpipe (possibly manifold as well). But it is possible.

[blue95]

I did a Rallye gearbox change recently. I Thought I could fit the whole lot in with the engine in place LOL

In the end I split the Gbox and Tbox, then fitted the gearbox to the engine (still in the bay), then fitted the tbox.

[blue95]

I bought some off eurocarparts, they were £40 a side and were made by FAG (OEM manufacturer).

[blue95]

Cheers fellas will keep that as my last resort

They usually are advertised as fitting both the Golf & Passat Syncro but as you found out they dont ! mind you the rear ones do fit both Passat & Golf2 though, possibly thats where the confusion arises?
Could you not get the hollow right hand drive shaft cut down & rewelded? for the left hand shaft any Golf2 G60 shaft will fit.

---

LOL – Just glad I’m not going mad.

Will try and source one, else it will go the the machine shop for cutting and welding.

They wont fit, you need the very late G2 Syncro shaft or you can blob a weld on to keep the joint onto the end of the shaft.

Cheers again!

A mate recommended taking them to a machine shop to have another groove cut in on the lathe.

They are 1 inch(25mm)to long, you could do a wide track conversion (total increase 2 ins) though if you fit the Passat lower triangles & steering rack.

Cheers Chris,

Thought I was going mad for minute!

I bought them off german ebay, they were advertised as being suitable the golf syncro

Will post up a wanted add in the relevant section in abit.

The sfat had 90mm inner CVs fitted, I bought 100mm ones from GSF, but htey would not fit.

The were too wide and were not able to physically sit down far enough to get the snap ring on the end (even with the bottom concave washer removed).

[blue95]

Don’t suppose you have any front driveshafts up for sale?

You revise away.

I take it you’re revising your engine to a VR6, like that one, so you can fit a downpipe like the one pictured?

I only ask because where those pipes are leaving the manifold is totally different to on a Rallye manifold.

If you’re sticking to the 16V then you’re looking at a totally different manifold and downpipe set-up to the one pictured. I would suspect that the engine requirements for the exhaust are considerably different on the 16vV vs the VR6.

Best of luck with not cutting the firewall – I just couldn’t see a way around it.

---

LOL – no sticking with the 16v set-up at the mo.

Just exploring possibilities i.e. if its poss to combine the g60 & VR6 downpipes. As a quicker/easier solution than modding the firewall (which is a perfectly fine solution too )

[blue95]

Though I would revise this thread

Looking through clubgti and found this:

http://www.clubgti.co.uk/forum/showthread.php?t=36207&page=5

This conversion is a VR6 Syncro drivetrain / engine into a RHD Corrado, exhaust pipework has been done without cutting the footwell.
