Hi, So I have a 1991 1.3 Charade. I'm looking to get it back on the road but with a few upgrades, so looking for a little advice from you guys i that's ok.
I've found someone breaking a gtti, and I'm toying with the Idea of swapping the suspension and brakes over to mine. Has anyone here done this before and did it make a noticeable difference to the how the car performed? From what I've read the gtti comes with disk brakes on the rear rather than drums so I'm keen on the idea, I just wonder if it's a simple bolt off bolt on process and wether I'll need the master cylinder off the gtti as well to get the setup to work or if I can keep using the original one the car already has.
I've also been thinking about swapping the n/a 1.3 for a YRV 1.3 turbo engine, Has anyone here done or know someone who has done the same swap? If you have was it a difficult swap, did you need to build a custom loom / adapt the old one to get it to work, different / custom engine mounts, use the fuel pump of the yrv etc?
Any and all advice is welcome
Thanks,
