Mk3 Polo AFH on CBR 600s with proven 123bhp

Featured Replies

Looking for swaps for anything interesting!

The older the better but I'm open to pretty much anything... so try me!

Caddys, Aircooled or Honda CRX are quite high up the list of want!

Little build thread incl rolling road video.

Make:

VW

Model:

Polo

Year/Reg:

1992

Mileage:

67k (engine on 45k cant prove this though)

MOT:

1 Month but can easily put another 12 on for the right car

Tax:

August 12

Good points:

AFH Engine

Custom inlet manifold and CBR600s running 123bhp

Conversion done 12months ago, new clutch, cambelt, seals etc

G40 front brakes

BBS RAs plenty of tread

421 manifold

Mint inside

Bad points:

Stainless exhaust may need replacing soonish but is all good for now (catback system)

421 sits on ARB but getting spacers done this week so wont be problem for long

2 pound coin sized patch of rust behind driver side front wheel on the arch

Couple of slight paint chips as you would expect

Location:

Chelmsford, Essex

Pictures:

Price:

£2000ovno

Still a 1.3 on the v5

Can easily change if its a problem for buyer/swapper though. (I was never planning to sell so never got it done)

How much for a genuine price? As I doubt you would swap for a mk3 1.0

Interested in a mk1?

What kind of px are you looking for?

2k is the genuine price mate, I've put way too much time and money to just sell straight up.

Interested in a mk1?

Could be... any details or build threads?

What kind of px are you looking for?

Ideally a lowered, engine swapped caddy to be honest.

Or a CRX

Or anythng aircooled.

I'm lookng for a spontaneous cool car for the summer so just give it a try!

lol you could buy a g40 for that price in better condition with more power as standard

Ok thanks I'll give that a miss,GLWS

CONGRATULATIONS!

You must own a G40 (std bhp 114 :? )

Guess what you win?

A pair of glasses!

Sounds like a shit prize but for you they will be perfect!

You obviously cant read the "Pretty much only looking for swaps unless crazy money offers!"

and you deffo cant read the "DO NOT RESPOND TO AN ADVERT UNLESS YOU ARE INTERESTED IN BUYING!!!

Negative comments will be particularly frowned upon and may result in your account being suspended!!"

For the record... i know its not worth that much, thats why its the price i put.

I want to swap the vehicle as stated many many times in the ad.

When you're selling your vehicle i dont come and take a shit on your bonnet so please dont attempt to do the digital version on mine.

Nothing personal mate, just try not to be such a tool next time. :-D

goood luck ever finding a standard g40 with more power than that :lol:

Put a price of what you think it is worth then?

Slight overreaction perhaps! :lol:

@Tramp

I have put the price high because i dont particularly want to sell it... if i got the money it was worth to others id have no idea what to do with it or what to buy.

Just want to get offered something random and then go from there...

Not trying to rub anyone up the wrong way would just like to see whats out there! :-D

i have a black crx esi 78,000 miles

mk2 bready 41,000 miles

The rest are all a bit arty by my photography mate but should be fine for you... let me know if there are any specific bits you need. (might be a while for current pics as its tucked up in its garage and its dark after i get home)

Its had new plates since these pics which makes it look cleaner.

Got a few questions to ask if you don't mind :

What gearbox is it running?

Have the carb's been set up properly?

What sort of MPG do you get?

Would you been interested in a swap for a 1986 Mk2 Jetta GT with full Ibiza Cupra Sport ABF (150bhp 2.0 16v) engine and running gear conversion?

Also couldn't find the build thread or RR video.

Thanks

Glen

Course not mate.

Its running a 1.3 coupe s 5 speed box. It seems pretty good all round, the main pull is from 3500rpm to 6krpm. But itl sit at 80mph in 5th at about 3500rpm.

Yeah the vids and dyno printout are from the setup day. The guy spent about 4 hours on it doing about 15 runs to get it running perfect. There are no flat spots, no hesitations nothing like that at all. The idle can play around but thats just temperature based and you can adjust that with the carb cable.

MPG is ok. Can squeeze 40 out of it. General driving with a few fun bits results in mid 30s.

And if you fancy playing silly buggers itl drop down to mid/high 20s but only if you are really going for it!

Sounds interesting mate... you got any pics or some sort of thread?
