I just picked up a '91 8v tracker, and I have a 2003 VW Passat sitting in my garage with a cracked head.  I don't think I'll get it on the road again, probably going to part it out.   I've been fantasizing this swap from the day i picked the tracker up...  Oh, I am so excited to see this done.  I think this is by far worth finding a new head.  I gather that you've bought it post-swap, what info do you have on the build?

I apologize for the absence and not answering questions here. The rise of social media has killed allot of forums and I honestly didnt check back to look for replys. So, to answer all the questions.
Kris, It handles well but likes to pull the drivers side tire up under hard acceleration. I am not sure if this is because of the link arrangement or just me liking my setup to be squishy.
Olijia, The front end is holding up pretty good. I dont do any hard core wheeling with it but I have jumped her a bit. I did brake one coilover shaft,( I was jumping it pretty big) but I had a very early version of this suspension setup and bob updated me to some newer parts that help fix this.
Birminham171, I did indeed buy this car post swap. There is a original build thread on this car here on Zukiworld. http://www.zukiworld.com/forum/build-diaries-how-to-diy/audi-1-8-turbo-powered-sidekick-pictures-!!!!!!!/ If you have any questions feel free to PM. I promise I will check back more often.
