If I ever get the time necessary for such project, I'll show you guys how it's done right. 
Longitudinally mounted rear-engine (8A80 perhaps), TT, w/AWD and a few other ideas. Ah, to have time. Of course by that point, 99% of the people here now will be long gone and I'll be puttering around this board by myself.

I've always been curious about the 8A80. Looks like its going to come to the US in 2007 so it'll be easier to get but its less than 2 inches longer than the 6g72, i wonder how easily it would swap into a 3S considering the 6g72/4 is used in the same car as it.
