Taken on private land!!

Thanks for the comments guys. The handling will be decent as and when PSD release their wishbone/subframe kit for the front end as the original set up is pathetic, It's basically an anti-roll bar with TCA's and that's it!! As for the brakes, they aren't that bad to be honest, yes you have to push hard due to the lack of servo but they bite well. I have the following set up> Front G40 calipers EBC green stuff pads ATE endless groove discs Rear Mk3 GT rear brakes The car weighs bugger all so you don't need 256 or 280mm brakes up front As for the seats, they are staying, they are really comfortable and it would loose it's sleeper apeal with carbon fibre or kevlar buckets in it

The beige best is finally up and running :-D She is a 1984 Mk2 polo squareback or "breadvan" which started out as a humble little 1.05litre, 2 owners from new with a mere 52k clocked up in its life in sunny old wales. It was fairly nippy but i bought it with intentions of making it a sleeper. I already had a 189bhp mk3 eaton'd G40 which was fast (click for a walkround video> or click here to hear/see it on the rollers> but by no means a sleeper so this fitted the bill nicely Here she is The interior is staying as it is, even the steering wheel lol The car was in a really good condition So, with a bigger things planned for the G40, the decision was made to take it off the road and take out it's original engine for use in the Mk2 Here's the powertrain spec polo G40 1272cc bottom end (stock internals) metal headgasket (raises compression to 8.3:1) ported and polished head 51mm throttle body Ported to death powder coated inlet manifold (inside and out) b-r-motortechnik chip G60 injectors GT camshaft emtec equal length turbo manifold Water cooled saab T25 with .48 comp and .49 turbine housings custom downpipe supersport 2.5" exhaust system lightweight flywheel Helix paddle clutch rebuilt G40 box with 100% locking LSD uprated driveshaft The engine was fitted and everything looked fine but then i fitted the turbo and realised why a mk2 turbo conversion is not seen as much as a mk3!! There were some clearance issues with the turbo This left my with three problems, where to put the oil cooler, the rad and the intercooler??? My first, quite frankly, stupid idea was to side mount the radiator But this would not get anywhere near enough air to cool it. So i tried different ideas and decided to take the car to a radiator specialist who came up with the idea of a 4 core old school mini rad that would fit front mounted between the downpipe and n/s chassis leg. While this was being made a few things needed to be sorted. Firstly, a nice phat 2.5" stainless exhaust system that i picked up fairly cheaply (probably due to the tailpipe lol) I had to convert the car from carb the injection, a scrap Mk3 polo supplied it's fuel lines and lift pump/sender unit. I had to pass the main pump loom through the boot floor Next up was fitting the ecu and wiring loom, firstly i just placed it all in to get the engine running [url="http://smg.photobucket.com/albums/v499/royalblue8vgti/?action=view

I'm looking for one of these but in the UK Can anyone point me in the right direction please Thanks Gregg

Right boys and girls, if G60 injectors are at 80% duty cycle on a 3 bar fuel pressure regulator with 20-22 psi acting on it, what kind of bhp are we talking if the lamda reading is 12.5, i.e slightly rich??

what were you running before mate?? If you've gone from standard to this size of tyre you will notice a difference as thier will be a lot less sidewall deflection with your new tyres

what size tyres??

According to a porsche forum these are made up of limited edition design 90 17" centres and the speedline dish off of a 964 turbo II Well that's what the moderator thinks as he's never seen a set!! All would benefit from a clean up to be honest and this will be done fairly soon. hopefully be able to see some et figures and i'll measure the width for you

These are proper porsche split rims, the main part of the wheel is 17" and the dish makes up the width. The rears are wider than the fronts. They are for sale but i have lost the information i wrote down about them, offset etc etc

17" split design 90 wheels, yes 17" and not 16" Anyone know what car these are off of??
