I still wanna know how your cars last to the end of your street with the quality of the roads

Wish I had your motivation mate.

BUTT-SCRATCHER???!???

Thinking of make some grinding plates? i presume you wont

You fanny Guy!

You never keep a car for more than about a week! and that engine has seen more cars than... i dunno what i could possibly compare it with if I'm honest

Why put the coupe s engine in this and then put the hydros in? Fail if you ask me.

no ones asking you and the sump and everything else sits soooooo much higer than a valver!! so if he wants to drag shit outa it he has to change the lump

Or put a MK3 sump on the valver

Tadaaaa!

who needs a sump ? just make 1 out of strawberry jelly dur ?????????

as tony say the coupe s engine will give more ground clearance, and more room above it too lift the engine a bit to get even more sump clearance.

And tbh i don't wanna risk fucking the afh up when i'm smashing the chassis on the road

given up on swapping the engines for now, just wanna concentrate on getting hydro's on for the flame and thunder show at santa pod next weekend, i can sort out the engine after that.

stripped the interior out ready to run the hoses and cut some holes for them

and cleaned up and painted the rams, also finally got around to putting some rubbers in the bottom of the rear one's

more to come over the weekend

been out in the rain fitting these fuckers earlier, still a long way to go, got all the holes cut and fitted and plumbed in one of the rams. it was getting dark by time i got any photo's tho so they ain't great

Looks really good. I'm looking forward to seeing this when its finished.

cheer's

did a bit more today, i've got both rear rams and the front passenger side fitted and plumbed in. i've had to nocth the chassis a bit due to the TCA and drive shaft hitting it, there's still a lot needs removing from where the drive shaft was hitting to get it proper low, but that gonna be more than just taking a hammer and chisel to it. i'll have a bash at this at a later date as i need to get at least another inch lower on the front to be happy with how it sits if i'm honest.

before

after

and how it's sitting right now, it's still got the coilover fitted to the drivers side which is why it's sitting on the pis

all fitting and working, just need to tidy ever thing up...

and a little video

It's AMAZING!!! Love it. Good work!

want so badly, TA-technix need to start making hydros ont cheap

amazing work fella,

with this still be alive for Polo show 2011?

5 star rated to!

doubt it mate, i'm already working on the next polo project, this will probably be tucked up and have the engine stolen from it for the mk2

Fag!

Bring it to poloshow!

downer, would love to see it :(

making a sump guard?, best using a "caution speed bumps ahead" road sign

Could see raising it up at every paint marking in the road a little tiresome

How quicks the hydo's? vids wont play on the shit dongle :S

Edited 25 October, 201015 yr by mattpolo5491

i'll see how it goes but that would mean trying get it through another mot

and sump guard is a must, think i might need some thing a little stronger than a road sign tho, it very well could end up taking the whole weight of the car on it

hydraulic based fail

forgot to check all the joins were tight before taking it on a test drive

Oh my god lol

You alright? Go with a bang?

Lol looks epic though guy, Bring it to the next meet

Awsome stuff!

nah wasn't dramatic mate, just lost height and i had to keep lifting it to limp it down the road to my house, as i pulled up outside mine i looked round in to the back and got sprayed in the face with hydraulic oil

hahahaha
