[cranedoctor]

Hi Guys,
i will be moving to the goldcoast area in the next 1-2 years & bringing along my 2 caddys.....
1 is a UK spec sport (it`s basically a factory gti without the back) & i have jsut dropped a G60 engine in
The other is the one in my sig 1.8 20vt (tuned to 250 bhp)
goes like hell

hope to meet a few of you in the near future

Awesome ride mate:bowdown::bowdown:. What brings you to the wonderful land of Oz??

Welcome to the forum cranedoctor.

Nice ride's for sure.

I like the way the original 20vt engine mount has been used to instead of the little mk1 mount.

I'm sure a 250+hp powered caddy would catch alot of people off guard! haha

Look forward to seeing more pic's & somewith with the Aust. scenery sometime soon.

rubbish weather, high taxes & sick of living to work not working to live & caddy will rot in this environment!

& like the people & the whole way of life.....

The conversion was done by Al who heads the vwcaddy forum in the UK.

i think the mount is a special made bracket www.vwcaddy.com

[gtimk5]

Damn, I love that Caddy of yours, I must see it for real one day.

thanks for that, i will travel about a bit the first year so hopefully we could try to arrange a few of us to meet somewhere...
Good evening mate
i am going to have a go at uploading some sport images as i presume mine will be the only caddy sport in oz :???:

[cranedoctor]

here are a few images of my caddy sport.
These are a rare breed with apparantly less than 500 made, most in the uk have been de-kitted & raped so they are getting rarer by the week...
I have dropped a G60 in it to make it a bit tastier, it originally had a toned down 1.8 gti 8v in it.
as you can see it also has a factory GTi interior

[Antdragonist]

welcome!

[madglf3]

Welcome to the forum mate, and soon we will be able to welcome you to Australia.

Mate, you have just turned me a bright shade of green with envy! I love both of your dubs, and if you bring them to Oz then you would be one of a lucky few to have them in the whole of Australia.

Cheers for uploading pictures of the cars mate, G60 are a supercharged engine aren't they? Which cars did they come in? Sorry I just know very little about them, they seem really cool.

you will be very close to where we settle mate so you will be one of the first to have a ride!

The G60 (G-Lader) is supercharged (bit like the merc kompressor), they were only fitted to a few models, i know that the golf rallye (4WD) was one & the most common is the corrado G60

They are std at around 180bhp but can be tuned pretty fast, there`s a local guy that has a Mk2 golf with a Jabba tuned one (although he is about to change it again for a 1.8 20vt (these will tune to 300bhp)

My 1.8 is frightening to drive (especially in the wet), i would not like to think what it would be like tuned more.
It will lose traction at 70-80mph & spin the wheels......

my g60 needs a custom exhaust which should be fitted in around 2 weeks, i have only driven it slow up to yet due to the narrow bore exhaust but it does sound different :biggrin:

sorry missed your welcome.
37 i`d have to sit in our cooker to get to that temp :biggrin:

Thanks Peter

Thanks for the offer mate, I might just take you up on it actually, it would be sweet to have a ride in one. Thanks for the response also, it's good to learn something new everyday.

Hey Ian,
is that a "Ring" sticker on the red one??
A few of us hopefuls have em on our VWs. :biggrin:

[Treza360]

Welcome to the forums Ian. Those Caddy's are seriously sweet and definitely out of the norm down here. Me thinks that you will give plenty of V8 ute drivers a big scare when you make it down here. :D
Cheers,
Trent
