Probably handles like a sack of spuds. IIRC the R32 lump isn't the lightest in the world...

 

[Fred@BTM]

[Laura]

heavy as foooook!!! we have one at the workshop apprently it took 7 people to lift it out.

Obviously defeating the point of the car.

"Lump" is i think about 35kG heavier than the standard K series Simon took out of the car

Better off with a Honda/Audi conversion.

*scrap the weight comment above plenty of debate and no real hard facts over on SELOC*

 

[Rich..]

Bet it's great fun in a straight line though

Engine weighs aboot 140kg I think. Not sure how that compares to the original.

 

[Mike_182]

Plus the gearbox...

 

[Ali]
