    That is quite true. I'll admit I probaby do often get just a little over the speed limit and may occasionally push the accelerator instead of the brake when a light turns yellow, probably have been lucky to have made it the 2 and a bit years I've been on the p-plates with no real driving offences. 3 months isnt a long time and the girlfriend and roommates are always happy enough to drive me around, so yeah. Will probably do that.

    Plus the extra time gives you 3 months to get it all in tip-top condition for euro meets and happy laps.
    Or you could always get the gf to drive you to euro meet

    She cant (legally) drive manual and is only on 1 point so she probably wont drive my car there, can always see if a friend or something can though. Guess ill have to enjoy driving while I can for the next little bit until the suspension is started

    Haha trust me if I had the money I'd do the swap, but I want to do it right the first time and build an absolute beast out of the thing (considering I have it apart in pieces anyway) and am considering going to 3.0L, big cams, big super charger, everything Could be a long time off though, am considering saving for a trip to europe or something instead while im still young

    im trying to save for europe as well, and building a car is not the easiest thing cause you can never actual budget for it.
    All these people have got me doubting whether 1 point for 1 year is the right decision

    honestly if I want to build something really fast, I might not spend a cent on a beastly motor for this, and build a track spec e30 or something rwd, I love this car and all and might keep it as a daily driver for a long time, but could probably make something much faster for much less coin that would actually corner properly and not be a complete handful like a 500hp fwd golf Although if that were the case, then I'd still like to swap in a pretty mild NA VR6 to this one to give it a bit more of a bark and overtaking power. Basically, I have no idea what I want to do in that area yet, but its going to be a fair while before I have that sort of money.
