excellent! hoped you'd be back in it :D

Need more pics of this polo of yours overall with them wheels ;) Little rollerskate haha

yeahh the golfs just too normal to drive! its slow, handles like its on rails and everyone has one. boring!!!

polo is alot more of a thrill especially since atm i have no handling upgrades... haha! stock handling ftw! need to stop being a tight ass and buy some arb blocks!

yeah ill get some more over the weekend, i finally got the plate to build my proper bike carb manifold so should be some pics of that too if my gas bottle for the welder arrives!

just saw your edit.. yeah thats what i thought from looking at them. i have them spare and the polos not exactly going anywhere so i may aswell try them!

only downside is, my rear setup is currently koni adjustable shocks, eilbach springs and spax bumpstops... dno if i want to waste them as there awesome!

nah the golfs still slammed, just running 2 bbs solitudes and 2 scirrocco wheels atm while the wellers are off haha!

what would be the point taking the coilies off the golf when the polo 6n ones are sitting right there! ;) haha. if they require bodging, so be it!

okay so 6n coilovers do fit a mk2. banginnnnggggg i have proper lows on the rear now! need to do the other side tomorrow!

you gotta take the coily apart, remove helper, wind locknuts most of the way up to the top, turn spring upside down, insert mk2 bumpstops and top mounts, bolt back onto the rear beam spacing it out with the correct amount of washers as the mk2's are wider, then lower the car down off the jack untill the top mount comes through the strut so your able to do it up. sweet!

  • Author

hmm thinking about it i could have probably got away with keeping the helpers in, just have to have it wound quite low down....

pics shortly.

322862_2562895148368_1133764328_32902416

looks sweet mate. how lows that now? thought your rub your tyres like fook. my back is about half way over the top of the tyres now and supposedly only and 80mm drop. can only just get fingers in between tyres and arch.

god knows mate!! it must be a fair bit lower than 80mm, oncidering the wheels are 13's and the tyre profile is pretty small!

Did the 6n coilies go in without too much hassle then? You managed to get any front coilies on? I'd love some but they're stupid money! Car looks sweet.=)

yeh fairly simple, took the helpers out, spaced out the bottom part, and removed all the 6n top mount shizzle and used mk2 parts. ill get a pic up tomorra or sumin!

Nice one. I didn't used to like the coupes till I started looking round here and seeing how they could look. Think I was put off by my friends mum that had a bright pink mk3 when i was younger!

yeah there hella stiff, but I'm not a grandad so i like it :) lol, thats pretty much as high as they go! the shock is shorter on the 6n rears, just means when you jack the car up you kinda have to take the wheel off to wind them down, although saying that, there quite high up the threads due to no helpers so u can just about reach.

gonna try getting the other side on tonight and lower it a little more!

Fuck me, it was stiff enough before! Fair play thoug, looks mean from the rear. Lights look good too
