Dubmax's Mk2 86c coupe.......

Featured Replies

Berg cup arches need huge wheels though or they just get swallowed. Did you ever see the JDM arches that simmo was flogging some time back?? They would be perfect for the tramonts and cheaper ;)

arches

Nice alternatice anyways. Bit of fettling and the right wheels ;)

Yeah well the tramonts are 3 piece and they gota come apart as the centres are lumo pink...:S....9's up front 10's out back????..... Sure that would cure a problem hah... I've been incontact with phil j and I've been on a few german sites and i found a sutable arch kit and front air dam just would need side skirts and rear diffuser...

It's just I have to decided if this is what I want to spend my money on..... As I've had quotes on a 964 and there's just no way on earth I'm gna pay 3500 to Insure a car as I'm only 21...and as my dad says it's only transport from a to b....

Plus my dad a a few of his mates do quite a few track days.... So would be extremely funny to see a little polo up behind a gt3 or Nissan gt-r.....( in the corners anyways hah)

so whats happening to the 20v estate then?

duno prob keep it and use it for this year then get some progress on the polo slowly 1.4 and bike carbs and basics....not rush it then over winter put all out engine in and get it all caged up e.c.t...never know that may even happen before winter if i dont save money..and spend it on other things. :thumbsup:
