Mk1 Vw Polo

[rjudgey]

Very extensive costing list! think you've added quite a few things that don't have to be there just to bump the numbers up! lol!
Well done on getting it finished I think you should run the nos anyways! Be interesting to see how it handles compared to mine should be a giggle Friday can't wait!

[tommi]

i have no gas and no way of getting it filled before the event i have some injectors i could fire near the trumpets and hope for the best but i dont think i will need it.

[rjudgey]

Shame! did you manage to weigh the car in at all after all the work done? how much do they weigh std?

[tommi]

675 kg as standard. not really sure how much i have taken out, at best about 50kg i guess but i think that might even be a bit over. with me in it i would hope to be under 700kg total but i did have a lot of pies for dinner last night

[rjudgey]

Bloody hell I need to get one of those! I think I'd be lucky if mine weighed in at 850kg's even with all the stuff i took out this weekend! What engines go into those easily? 1.8 16 valve from golf possible?

[tommi]

big blocks from golfs dont fit unfortunatly as they lean the wrong way....... thats not going to stop me fitting a 1.8T next though... think it will take me over the £999 budget though

[rjudgey]

What about a smaller honda engine! lol! D16 or D15 with Bike carbs

[tommi]

dont they run the wrong way though?

TBH i really want turbo power, Im looking to start running this in the european drag series FWD. if i can get a 1.8T to run around 400bhp that would give me nearly 550bhp per ton which is more than enough to get up with the big boys

Is there any way someone from admin can move this car into the non £999 build thread section

[fha772]

I trust you'll recommend Frank's moving services to your friends

[tommi]

thanks buddy. i feel safe and secure

well i will start with an update from the PPC

The car infact even made it home and seemed to run very very well, think it liked the thrashing i gave it.

I have just learnt of a VW event GTi festival again at the pod and it has a handling course with prizes so im going to have a crack at that i think. sunday 16th october

after that its going to get loaded up with my crap and moved back to the west country as im moving house on the 21st.

Im looking at entering the drag racing comunity with something with big power once its home so will be getting a trailer and starting making it into a very very fast little polo.

and yes i will be removing the audi badges now, im bored of pretending to be an audi

[Steve33]

whereabouts in the west country do you live
Sounds like its gonna be serious
1.8t with a large turbo conversion.. . Those polos are rare nowadays I really like treatment oxide paint you could go for a hipo 16v screamer...

Hmmm, cough

[tommi]

im from somerset, taunton area although i live pretty much in the middle of no where, if anyone is coming past more than welcome to stop in for a cider

believe it or not im gonna have to start running this old girl as my daily driver soon as i have to give up my little smart work car this sunday.

if anyone has a cheap little polo for sale for a few hundred notes please let me know

[Steve33]

I come from clevedon and done a few rr days at tsr so get down that way every so often.

[tommi]

im yet to make my first adventure down to TSR. went there a while back when i was a nipper. They where not interested in sponsering me for my polo into the ERDC so im trying to tap up OBP at the momment, think im going to have to run it alone for a while though
