hi guys, not been a polo owner for very long but recently got hold of 2 coupe gt's. this will most likely be a slow build thread as I'm trying to fit in working on them around other projects.

neither of them are in too bad shape just need some tlc....

How did you manage to find 2!

Looking forward to seeing how they progress :)

Show us the nova

I will do kiran when I'm back down the workshop, i didnt mean to get hold of 2 but the green 1 i found at a farm near my house and managed to get it for £300 with 6 months test.

Bargain!

Just shows if you know where to find them, they can still be had for no added scene tax. Guarantee if that green one was owned by one of the young guys on mk1-3 Facebook group then it would have been up for £1300 instead!

Going rate not scene tax, he got it below market value

so anyway had a look at both cars and found the green one is pretty rotten so i decided to get the black one running which proved to be a problem because of really old fuel and blocked injectors and i also found the tank leaking in the usual place. luckily the green one runs well and has a new...ish tank so i stripped the fuel system to take home to fit to the black polo.

finally found a use for my roof bars too

So anyway, long time since last update, black polo is running sweet. Got a 60/40 kit and fitted it.

Next got hold of some old vw alloys, not sure what they are from, maybe you guys have an idea? Got them powdercoated white. Also met kiran_182 yesterday and bought a 4branch and g lader blocks.

 

Ive got some teardrop alloys without tyres

So any not much of an update, got some vectra calipers and 256mm discs. Also got a newman cam on the way!

Some decent work going on, what cam did you got for? 

Took your advice and went for a 270, should hopefully give some good gains!

If you want a hand setting the car up once the cam is in let me know.

Will do Kiran, does anyone know where i can get a chip for my ecu ppp only seems to have the 001 chip. 

Got a shot of it yesterday outside the barn I'm building it in haha

 

Your so lucky to find 2 gt's like that! I've been wanting a coupe for ages now (house improvements keep getting in the way) but scene tax makes them silly money for what they are!

 

Yeah tell me about it, just a stroke of luck haha.

Small update, splashed out on a stage 2 Subframe from ppp. Also just got my spare head back from the shop after having a skim and port n Polish ready for the new cam!

Finally got round to fitting the stage 2 Subframe and my head + 270/270 cam. what a difference they have made. still need to get a chip for all the engine mods but even without its made such a difference. 

transforms the car, youll find it can take on bigger engines 

hows that chip working out? you put that nova in the non polo section yet?

Chip seems to work a treat, ignition timing could do with some fine tuning. no I never got round to it sadly, it was a friends and he ended up selling it shortly after I got the polo. 

Had the polo out yesterday and Kiran_182 came over with his and we messed about with my ignition timing, pulls so much better. Kiran also told me to give it a clean and add some more pictures so heres a few.
