spankis Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 VW makes a platform that is RWD with the 1.9TDI? No sir, but it's becoming a popular swap w/ rockcrawler and dunebuggy guys, so there are adapter kits out there.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. Jones Posted May 28, 2008 Report Share Posted May 28, 2008 VW makes a platform that is RWD with the 1.9TDI? Anthing is possible.

Dave1647545494 Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I had a diesel chevette back in the day with a 5spd it got like 55mpg and would smoke tires in 5th Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Science Abuse Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 I would rock that so hard if it didn't look like it had been rolled 8 times. You're right. If it's powered by Chevette it should have been rolled at least 9 times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOPR Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 worst swap EVER! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zeitgeist57 Posted May 29, 2008 Report Share Posted May 29, 2008 It was an Isuzu diesel engine. Very reliable powerplant. It's sad that if a diesel doesn't come from Mercedes, VW, or Cummins, most people would consider it a crappy engine......and that's coming from a guy with a 6.2L Detroit Diesel under the hood of my truck! I would have been interested in that car for less than $900 if the rust was minimal/nonexistant. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
