Paul, you don't know what idea you've just gave me by posting this video. LOL! Gee...I wonder if I could persuade my uncle to give me his GSX-R and dump the engine into my Kelisa. CC wise still within the rule of JPJ right? Just need to make the correct mounting I guess.... Hmmm....yummy! Wow! Paul, you don’t know what idea you’ve just gave me by posting this video. LOL!

I'm surprised that Mk I is still being manufactured in South Africa. Then again, they only stopped the Mexico's classic Beetle line in 2003. Amazing considering that production ran for 69 years! There should be some 4 door Mk I running around... ideal for a transplant project like this. I'm really curious how much this yummy engine costs... As I know, Golfs are FWD or 4WD on some models.

Typically, bike motors dont have differentials in the gearbox (so it wont be FWD_unless he has locked it), so he must have somehow converted it to run shaft drive to a conventional car rear end.
