That looks so good. I’d love an early silver mk2 with quarter lights converted, it would be the. Nuts. Used to have an 86 GTI and loved the car. EV conversions are best for cars like this. I never thought the 8v or 16v engines were that good. Made some nice noises, but 200bhp vs 114bhp means no competition.

@stevenb7794 2 жыл бұрын

This is a fantastic conversion. When a car is converted does the customer have to inform the DVLA it's electric now and does it need to be inspected.

@eDubServices 2 жыл бұрын

Notifying the DVLA is very simple. The age of the vehicle will determine if it needs an inspection. I think 2001 is a the cut off.

What does an electric mk2 GTi weigh & how does a split battery alter the weight distribution? It’s an interesting concept but if it fundamentally alters the driving dynamics of what was a classic hot hatch- & I suspect heavier then not really for me. A Mk2 GTI is all about the sound, stirring the gears & being seriously chuckable

About 180kg heavier. Like driving with a full boot. Still hugs the ground on the corners 😊
