Hello peepz. Been on here for quite a while and as I'm at work with not alot to do i'd put a few pics of the polo . I got it october time . and got it on road in the start of jan . was completly standerd when i bought it . with 95.000 on the clock .

1.3 spi coupe , needed a few niggles eg brake pads, clutch cable, air filter and a few other bits and bobs.

Anyway this was the slag when i got it .

Thought it looked more dog nob red then tornado red. So 8 Hours of Hand tcutting and bit of wax ( all i had ) And it turned out like this .

had to get rid of the gay trims lol

Then got a set of BBS RA's of a bmw e30 rather good price too .shame they had 185 55's on :/ ..

I havnt got any pics of them when they were on but i then got a 60/40 kit from phil J and took a saterday fitting that

-__- with a few other lil things . pressed plates etc :)

so here she is lowered.

That roughly how she is atm :)

I'm going to get some 155/55's on the ra's as they scrub atm and then ill drop it 80/70 :)

SOrry for the rushed post and shit pics . at work so yano lol ! making most of some of the pics off facebook :/ lol

New Piccy at dubmania :)...

Bump! :-)

Best of luck at the unit :)

Just need to put cambelt on and wait for my mate to finish the manifold and thats the engine sorted :)

Wont be going in for a month or 2 ash.. Got a holiday to go on and going to get mot out of way first ..

Mike yeah . I'd go for 165 55 14's.. fill the arch alittle more without scrubbing issues :)

Oh mate, That looks alright, I like that effect, I'm going to my mine purple, What manifold stainless?

Oh right, Well I'm nearly finished college so will be finding a job for my prooooject ! Have a good holiday!

Looking good mate, didn't know you had a build thread.

Too bad on the AFH though :p

Cheers maximus .. Forgot i even had one tbf lol

And shhh , I'll keep you happy if i get hold of this mk2 loon next year . Want to build a 1.6 8v for it

Love that paint effect :) looking good!

Haha metro power , looks sick :)

just found your thread! Your missing out loads of progress pics haha,

haven't made a thread yet cz i just dont thinkit worthy of one until the wheels are on :p

is goochie a member on here yet?

What tyres you got on the RZ's jamie?

Yeah matt he's staffordmk2 i think .

And i've missed shit loads lool, you need to get one as i've never seen a polo with "them wheels "

ANd 155,55 14s max, I want something abit better tho tbf mate, thinking of 195,45's But not sure if arch clearance will be an issue :/ ..

federal fomonza's btw . Half decent budgets , better than nankins lol !!

'them wheels' will be on in no time! nangkangalangs are crap lol but do stretch better i think,

gona need better tyres when you get that beast afh in :p

Yeah I'm looking at 195 45 14s falkens which are preety good.

Might have to go to 15s :/ lol

Just a quick update, Did my topmounts at the weekend as one side was shaged,

half hour job turned into 3-4 hours work :/ .. Castle nut was fucked, somehow the threads were fucked and nut was not budging

in the end i whipped the whole leg off and grinded the nut off , The bearing fell apart from the old top mount haha ..

Bumpstops were fucked, dust cover was not there and the other side's shock is preety much fucked .. Think the seals gone so its pissing fluid which made it even harder to put the bumpstops on lol . Anyway put new bump stop's, topmounts, dustcovers etc on and new nuts and put it all back on along with 6n top mounts and now feels a bit more forgiving but still wank ride due to budget shocks -_- ..

Going to fit some gaz shortend dampers when i get some spare cash and put them with these springs and slowly build some home brew coilys :).

On another note ,I gave it a wash after shouting a shit load of abuse at the slag when doing top mounts lol..

Got my bike out to have a little test ride now its all together and see how shit halfords colour match is ..

Buy yeah rides so nice, Federal dan lacey frame which i got for freee lol

MOt and tax next month. Soon as thats done the engine will be in and want it done for mid august which gives me teething time and time to bed clutch in for pod XD

slick BMX!
