Chris , ride is mint, your lowering, what is it in the pics, 70 90?, just I'm getting mine lowerd, and i have 14x7 on fronts and 8 on rear with 195/45/14 doesnt seem like i could drop it 90?

Hey Scott. I am not sure of the exact lowerage because my setup is a bit of a mismash. It's pretty much the same as a Gmax 70mm kit but a bit lower at the back!

I'd say its about 70mm at the front 90mm at the back, its softened the stance a little but it looks perfect now! With the 14s on 70mm I think it jack it up a bit

Hows it running chris ?

I love this car, it was a big inspiration to me... not that you can tell or anything!

You got 88bhp with the only mod being the exhuast???

I know! Crazy, huh?

Sorry to say it mate but it must have been a generous rolling road. You ever had it tested anywhere else? I seriously cant see an exhaust giving you a more than 15% increase in power!

My car was tested on the same day as about 25 other Polos. So that would mean a lot of people on this site have 10% or so less than what they are claiming.

There was a standard Curpa R that was tested on the same day on the same road that read 225bhp. i.e. exactly book figure.

I'm not saying 88bhp is right or wrong because I don't know for sure. The car runs extremely well and that's all I am concerned about. :)

Yep. Funking love this car... a lot!

Makes me want another Polo looking at those first two rolling shots there

Some VW engine randomly have bigger power for no reason. My mate has a Lupo sport which has a book figure of 100bhp but runs 116-118 everywhere its rolling roaded. Randomly has more power than factory.

Yes, dont always assume the quoted VW figure is true

looks mint!!!

Subtle, tidy, understated. One of my favourite Mk3s.

Fair enough, i guess like you say, it doesnt really matter what it says on paper. As you say it's how it runs and performs that counts! I really do adore this car!

very true, my brother's rado vr6 run 200bhp (on a few rolling roads) fractory claim 190bhp

but a well looked after engine will always produce more .

All vedub engines once run in put out more bhp than factory figures after 70k, but dies after 130k if well service a lot more
