   +1 to that, the GTI will feel alot tighter with the VTR engine in.

   How easy would it be to drop a VTS engine into an AX?
   
   Got a spare one laying around now so could tinker with it at the weekend if i find an AX shell.

   About as hard as fitting a VTR in. Late model engines are a real pain you are best to use a early saxo engine.
