Been trying out the Polo Selecta! Its awesome! Here's what peggy hopefully should look like :-)

also been thinking about engine Mods for the (MPI) NZ lump. Theres not a lot of info on them, as they seem to have only been fitted to early mk2f polo's? (and a few golfs/jettas)......

I did however find this useful spec sheet (might be worth a sticky?) about engines. Including the non-cat NZ lump which is 64bhp, as opposed to the cat version 55bhp. Looks like i'll be getting a stainless manifold from german ebay

simply love the spec sheet.

i have an ABD lump waiting in my shed, so it is nice to see some info about that engine as well.

Very nice.

You know what i did today?

i drove my polo........

Lol! I've dreamt that I drove mine. Only about a week to go now till I get it :-)

is this car ever turning up?

is this car ever turning up?

lol, yep, tho I've not test driven it for £200 with MOT I can't turn it down

Ooops! Just accidentally won this! Shame it's In kilometres per hour, but I'm sure I can get some transfers to mark it up in MPH

hope the cars a gem for all the work you've put in so far, very easy to work on so there are no real major problems

Yeah, my old mk2f was pretty bullet proof, so hope this ones gonna be the same once I've sorted the rusty bits

Heard from owner today, I will have a polo on Monday! :-) happy days! Although sounds like I've got a few niggles to sort out

Finally

Good luck cracking on with it!

Nice car for the money, bit of a sleeper, remap to 203bhp, Coilovers, climate control etc etc :-)

Whoops!

Couldn't resist putting in an offer! Not bad for just over £100 delivered from Germany!

You might wanna get arb blocks unless you allready have them? I had that manifold and it's a tight fit with the arb were it is.

Ok mate. I might order some. Where did u get yours from? I've seen them on a German site but PPP sells them on here too I think? Would it make any difference that I've got a 4spd gearbox?

I doubt you'll find a new set cheaper than PPP on here.

I'd recommend you get them for 2 reasons 1. because you are lowering the car, these blocks correct the castor angle 2. the ARB will more than likely be touching that manifold without those blocks.

Having a 4 speed box makes no difference on a mk3 as they all came with the '5 speed' ARB

arb blocks are a bit cheaper from ebay.de , can get em with stainless plates too

It's like 45 quid, i think.

Are you going to put pu bushings in the controlarms?

These arent expensive as well and read good reviews about them.

Little delivery in the post this morning. So got busy with mini screwdriver set, hack saw & Nail polish!!! Decided against the silver trim rings as against the White they didn't really stand out. So they're up for grabs :-)

Just need to order an invertor to power the backlight dials. For the time being I've kept the original bulbs in and painted the needles to show up. Only slight thing is how I get on at MOT with KPH readout?.... Last owner has marked 30,40 & 70mph with tape?....

Just out of interest, did the manifold fit ok, or did you have to do some 'fettling' to get it on? I know some cheap ones can be a PITA to fit
