yerr lukes old 6n :). carnt wait to start on that though

cheers Elijah :)

Looks good mate

Been a while since I've last updated this been so busy with work and polo. Right I had it all up and going flew through its mot not advisories ! :-). Had it all running sweet and took it around the block around my village to make sure of no oil leaks or coolant leaks which there wasn't ! :-). So the evening I picked it up from the MOT bay I took it out in Swindon to show her off to my mates still running sweet had a little play with a s3 he was very surprised so was I to be honest ha. Then on my way home down the dual carriage way I thought I would open her up a little then a sudden loss of power thought oh that's only a boost pipe coming off so coasted down the road to the next lay by and she sounded like it was running on 3 . No boost pipes had popped off so looked around couldn't see much as it was dark so got it towed home and the next day took the spark plugs out to find one of then had melted !! . I then borrowed my mates snap on scope camera to look down the bore and saw the lovely damage :-( following day had the head off to find the piston melted . So at this moment and time I haven't touched it just waiting on for more money

The engine that has a melted piston gunna get rebuilt and get dropped bak into the 6n and the engine that came out G40 originally going to be finished off and finally dropped back in. Won't be for a while as iam looking at buying a newish car first then can start playing again :-)

Brought myself a 11 plate mk6 golf tdi amazing on fuel getting 70mpg plus was going to buy an mk5 r32 but knew it was gunna be a thirsty on fuel and stupidly expensive to tax 470quid !!! The mk6 only 30quid a year what I was amazed by !! Only got it so I can jump in and go and don't worry about braking down haha. Took the Engine back out and removed the melted piston so I can hang it up and look at it in shame haha. Just brought few bits for the engine today. So fingers crossed will have it on the road again soon as!!

Cars don't need bra's.

Thanks to Maxrpm I've ordered up the final bits so i can crack on with the rebuild and fingers crossed will be on the road at the end of the month !!

Thought I better update on here again as it's been a while polos running again :-) woop

i will let the pictures do the talking

Been a while since I've updated this. Had a good crack at the Rolling Road at Aldon Automotive managed to take both cars up (6c GTI) thanks to the girlfriend for driving. First car to go on the rollers was the G40 which kicked out 146.8bhp which was over the moon with and the GTI 208.7bhp.

 

Few more changes to the G40 over the last year

 

60/40 H&R

Carbon fibre scuttle panel

Refurbed the charger thanks to Pete !

Standard injector cleaned and flow tested

Vernier pulley (haven't had chance to play around with it yet)

Put standard indicators back on

Did a couple of runs down Santa Pod 15.1 and a 15.4 at 91mph could of done a lot better if I didn't run Nankang's haha . Hopefully may get a few more runs this year and get them down to the low 14s.

 

 

 

 

Sweet car.  I very nearly bought this years ago when it was on eBay.
