Excellent work. Similar to my engine when i get my cam and engine mounts fitted. Got to love a well looked after GT engine.

Car looks awesome with the subtle styling changes.

hi mate, do you know if you can fit an induction kit on the mk2 polo gt? or just an air filter? thanks

hi mate, do you know if you can fit an induction kit on the mk2 polo gt? or just an air filter? thanks

Alright pal, I'm not sure? I don't see why not, think most people use a mk2 golf AFM, I prefer using the gt aibox as it looks more factory, I've just put a replacement panel filter in there for a tad better airflow

there is or was a pipercross airfilter that was available for the GT, you can make your own in theory from an adaptor and a cone filter

engine out!

engine in :-D

it all runs and drives, everything works too wich i was suprised about, now the running in process!

500 miles steady away, oil change then another 500 a bit more beans oil change again then more beans again! cant wait.

just getting my rev counter wired in this week and g lader anti roll bar bushes to clear the manni

also booked in for full stainless powerflow system tuesday, so will be at as many meets and shows as i can this year!!!

coming along nicely

quality mate.

GT engine looks like it was always there, top notch :)

Cheers guys, just fitted my g ladder roll bar bushes feels miles better already

and had a full 3" system made up at powerflow all stainless with just 1 box and sounds spot on

also gave it a wash first time since before christmas lol

just got to change the blue temp sensor as it doesnt wanna start when warm but if i unplug it it starts so thats my job for today.

then i can get on with running it in!!!!

exhaust looks noice!

One of the nicest cars on here. Simple, clean and everything done properly. Man after my own heart :-)

Have you got all three poly mounts fitted? Any notable improvment, vibrations, etc?

Keep up the good work!!

Love this man, absolutely spot on! Bet it goes nicely now too

Well its been a long while since I've been on here, life kinda takes over some times haha! Well the polo is nicely run in now done over a 1000 miles on the engine, not much has changed mainly been wiring extras in and such and enjoying it for what it is! Thanks guys for the comments, ill hopefully be getting more work done over winter now I've got some cash freed up, also got brand new vw2 calipers carries and braided lines to fit, hoping to get a retrim and maybe some new rims but ill just bide my time until the right set turn up! Ill get some more pics over the next few weeks, sorry for all the chat I know people love pics...........

We should meet up soon I've got a tornado red mk2 saloon now, and it looks surprisingly familiar...
