Yeh it was a chopped image tho, was before I got my coilovers on.

 

Good little cars to drive, handle like a go kart cause they aren't much bigger than one! :D

 

Still lots to be done but getting there! :lol:

Thought you would have known it was in PVW anyway considering it was you who sent it you chocolate! See who gets the G60 conversion done first! :lol:

[dubster82 0]

Damn.... i knew i recognised it :lol::lol:

 

You might get the G60 in, but i win, mine already is a G60 :lol:

looking good martin 8) ..........

 

 

hopefully at the end of the month it'll have the grunt to back up its looks :wink:

Must admit I do like the Polo's when done right. These are the Borbets I have for sale at the moment, the German company I bought them from advertised them for a Polo..here is the piccy :D

[dub16 0]

Well I don't have 3k spare at the moment for the turbo kit which takes it to 160bhp so will prob jus be kicking out standard power on the rollers, maybe the mods have done will liberate a few more ponnies, who knows!

 

There is a small matter of power to weight and low gearing tho Roddy in which areas I think my car is better than a Corrado! 8)

 

In fact you might know about that after your duel with a certain low geared Mk3 16v :lol: :lol:

 

Although my car is not as grunty as I would like,enjoying it anyway, great fun, i'll have to take you out for a spin sometime if you want.

Looks good Leew, wheels are nice are they 15's?? Have a set of Borbet C's kicking about i had on a Golf, quite happy with mine tho. Thanks for the offer.

[dubster82 0]

Oh, heres the pic i did for PVW :lol:

 

And a cool pic of your dub family living place :wink: just think, if your sis' lupo was there and the MKI and the other MKII wasnt round the back, there'd be no room!!!!! :lol:

[dub16 0]

Looks worse than that at the mo, have the Mk1 out front and my sis's lupo up as well.

 

Still no convinced by removing the bar in the front intakes, think I might get the towing eye cover flushed when it goes up to the body shop to get the few bits sorted!

 

Did have it sitting that low when I first put the Knoi's on but had to be raised a few times as the roads round here aren't that great as you know!

[leew 0]

They're proper Euro style 8x14 :shock: Here are some better piccies

[dub16 0]

Look well smart, big fan of dished wheels, car grounds out occasionally on 15's so don't fancy going back to 14's. Borbet T's are they not? What did you have them on?

oh yes i remember it only too well :oops: though bear in mind mine was totally standard save for an exhaust and filter mod :wink: whereas this Mk3 we're speaking about at that point was pretty well sorted engine and suspension wise :wink: .........though i gave that same mk3(with a quaife too now :wink: ) a good run for his money up west tullos last week.......tho he still lost me along the road beside goals :oops:

 

 

oh and you keep promising me this spin in the Polo :wink:

[dub16 0]

Aye was meaning up by tullos, more of a fair match now you have yours lowered etc. Remember coming back from Star that time when your car was standard suspension, was quite amusing. The corrado must be a bit heavier than the Mk3?? Think mine only weighs 1025kg with driver. Bit heavier with me in it! :lol:

[dub16 0]

Was just thinking, the 16v has less power and torque than your VR6 and was running 2 up as well was he not? So big power is not everything :lol:

 

Will be good to hear all the cars at the RR Day tho, remember the VR6 sounded goo on the rollers. Haven't heard mine yet or a G60. Looking forward to it.

 

Oh and will take you out at the rolling road day for a spin if i don't see you before, sounds quite good up the revs, funny that being a 16v :lol:

[leew 0]

Yep, got it in one, Borbet T's. They were for a mk1 golf project I started (had the G60 engine, coil overs, brake upgrade, the lot!) but due to a new job i've got to sell all the bits off.

well his quaife gives him a bit more of an edge too....you forget i have a heavy lump of iron to get around corners too :wink: and of course the driver also makes quite a difference too.........afterall this mk3 driver ain't exactly a stranger to trackdays either is he?......but hey at the end of the day his mk3 is something else 8)

[dub16 0]

Oh dear, shame you never got it done, my Dad and I are doing a Mk1 project as well, takes a while tho but maybe have it on the road this decade :lol:

[leew 0]

I know what you mean mate. I've still got a fair bit of misc. stuff left over. Let me know if you need anything.

[dub16 0]

Good point Roddy, can't be easy putting the power down through the front wheels without a bit of wheel spin, diffs are the way forward but sadly don't have the pennies at the mo, maybe Inters next year :) That is if they make one for the Polo which they probably don't. :oops:

 

You could always buy yourself something older like a Golf Mk2 GTI and get in to the track days too... Doesn't have to cost you an arm and a leg. Hope to do some with the Mk1 for a bit of experience if it ever gets finished!

[dub16 0]

Thanks Leew, will do. Think we have got most of the stuff over the years, just need to get it running then up to the bodyshop. You fancy a change from the Corrado or was it more of a toy. Might know some people who would be interested perhaps, what bits you got?

[vr6storm 0]

it wasn't just wheelspin either.......you know the bend just off the "old" bridge of dee with the raised white marking thing???the speed this Mk3 driver took it was unreal :shock: :shock:

 

 

as for track-days etc i'll give it a miss.........you know how paranoid i am with my storm.....i'd probably be the same if it was an old Mk2 GTi :wink:

[dub16 0]

fair play, you do worry a bit Roddy! :lol: Heard about that corner, sounds like it would have been good to be coming from South Deeside direction to see this happening in front! Might be on police camera action if we are lucky so we can all see! :lol: :lol:

[leew 0]

More of a toy really, got a company car, wanted something to play with. Company has to go back so just bought Brookescourt's G60 of him...nice.

 

I've got loads of little bits but main bits I suppose are 1.1 Golf complete with new engine (5000 miles) no sunroof but paint is bad!!! Rear disk conversion (inc new disc's, pad's bearing, handbrake cables, the lot!), 16v front brake conversion, full set of campaign green glass, inc. the tinted front screen, the Borbet T's!!!.

 

All the other main parts have been sold.
