Sounds awesome!!!!!

It looked so sick pulling off from bretts haha.

The way it bounces around too made me laugh.

I love it <3

Fantastic!

Did you go for a 2nd bleed on the brakes Dan?

Had a great weekend at UD, the car is a blast to drive!

Really happy for you dan, looks stunning and a lot of fun.

Wonder what the power to weight ratio is?

Cheers mate, just need to fit a front splitter to hide the blocks then its all sweet!!

Not even sure on the power atm tbh mate, would be interested to see what it would give.

Well if running standardise weight taking into account lighter alloys prob about 670kg with a power of approx 110 if not running cat and a filter works out at 164bhp/ton

I'm aiming to get to 200 bhp per ton in my car with some excessive stripping and with bike carbs a little more power

Its running straight through pipe to a single backbox and the induction kit, otherwise standard.

Cams and stainless are on my list for the future

Have fun putting the extra power down!! this spins up all over the place in all gears!

Great mate, arb clears the manifold so I'm happy :) I dont want them to be seen by all, so a spiltter is on order.

Thanks for the passenger seat thrill Dan - even 3-up this beasty is quuuuuiiick!! I'll echo what Guy (McLovin) has been saying for a while - this is definitely the best bang for buck engine conversion for Mk1-3 Polos. Really sets alight at the higher revs. The raw exhaust just adds to the buzz! I love the lines of a Mk1. Nice work.

What size front Tyres you ringing? I might have a set of super sticky Avon cr500 road Tyres u can have. That will stop ure wheelspinning

Any time Chris! I owe you. I am surprised at the pull I can achieve with a car full!! The exhaust on this is just pure jokes at the end of the day and is probably holding back a few horses but Its cool for now. Mk1s rule mate

Pm me buddy

Keep watching that video lol

Hows it in the corners then? I know its only lowered with the addition of ARB blocks but still should be pretty good.

This was in the car park up from ultimate dubs and it was the first car i admired of the day. Really is nice.

Hats off to you.

@Max - its not bad at all, I've never had anything better though so I cant really compare!

@Demolover - Thanks alot, I moved the car to that car park in the afternoon as I was parked miles away and wanted to show a member of the mk1 forum :)

I actually own the engine

Pwned

*Borat accent* i would very much like to buy that engine

what you gonna use front splitter wise?

I have found a carbon fibre duck bill spoiler like what comes on the ol mk1 golf. its just over £100 but looks the tits!!!!

Awesomesauce! Hope I don't get drawn against this at SpringFest drag strip, I'll get majorly dicked but great work on the turn around though and props to those who've helped!

Heres just afew snaps I got at the weekend when I went on the hunt for some epic driving roads!

Extremely poor photography!

dude i just wanted a quick two second snap so I could get back in and drive it!

Love the AA badge! Need to get some stealthy steelies on it and a tartan rug for the parcel shelf for maximum sleeper effect.

I'm saving up to get my original steels banded slightly mate!!

Great idea on the tartan rug to, you going to be at springfest by any chance?
