i can afford to do it up and insure it think I'm gonna keep it with the polo, someone told me all the ones with a t bar roof have a turbo? this true??

edit: just found out its a non-turbo

the turbo was import only, my dad has one of the g-limited ones, soo easy to get the back end out :-D

Pics up

The position of the handbrake looks like it could be annoying lol

good clean and a t-cut and i bet that would come up nice. what are the plans for it now?

  • Author

I'm just gonna get it sorted out, i left it runnin yesterday and smoke was billiowing out the engine, there is oil gettin into the spark plugs!! but once I've sorted it after a few months the polo is going bye bye!! ill dive this around

The cam cover leaks.

Replace the gasket to solve the oil problem.

yeah pal, I've just ordered gasket 4 it, new disks and pad and all the servicing shit, hahhahah polo engines look alot easier!!!

Looks like it should clean up well mate although a sponsorship deal with T- Cut might be useful lol!

ahaha fuck t-cut, theres abit off rot on the drivers side door, well it has eaten a hole in it ahaha, and there is rust on the passanger side wing, thats the only to bits i can see that are bad, so I'm just gonna replace door and wing and take it for a re-spray once i have sorted it out running wise, i wonder what the mot list of fail will be ???

Just to clear up some confusion -

GTi = UK n/a

G Limited = Japanese n/a

GT/GTS = Turbo (only sold in Japan)

Enjoy it :-D

The 3S GE is a pretty simple engine. The management on early engines doesn't even run a lambda sensor.

Enjoy it reving to 7K, and wait for ACIS to kick in around 5000 rpm.
