Did you not read what i put??????????????

must have missed it mate, what did you say?

No disrespect taken at all bud....but yeh it isnt meant to be an easy switch as i said with regards to mounts...pedal box etc etc, but i know for a fact it is possible and if i could get a 6 speed box and fitted for like less than £800 or so, it would save me going through polo boxes liek nothing on earth....i'm fairly confident the costs would outweigh for the lupo box eventually :D Not immediately yeh, but eventually :thumbsup:

good effort phil, admire the work you put into this. any pics of the new rear clusters?

^^ I've been nagging him for so long..

Hows the engine coming along?

getting there bud.....the battery drained for some odd reason, so trying to figure out why it drained within the space of a week. And looks like i need a GTI fan also, and that is pretty much it! I need to get the car to VW and get the key coded to suit the immobilser as i think that is what is holding it back at the moment so not a huge problem! I'm just struggling to find the time at the moment! hopefully by friday, will have her fired up :D:thumbsup:

Cool man

good work man! it'll all be worth it...

Nice polo dude :-). Looking forward for some pic's of the engine. And of course your mods on it.

I've read you are getting a stainless exhaust. Still looking to get rid my cathalyzer?? (don't know how you write this in English) But i've got a problem with the 2 Lambda's. How are you planning to go from 2 to 1 lambda?

greetings.

Hi mate, The de-cat(goes in place of the catalytic convertor) that i got custom made has a nut in place so it accepts the lambda....and also the stainless steel manifold i am putting on also has a nut for the first lambda. So there you go, thats the lambda probs sorted :)

Thanks for the compliments though mate.....keep an eye out, more to come soon :thumbsup:

This definitly deserves my first comment mate!! love it. just wish i had the money to do what you have done! shame your selling it. you should have dropped a 1.8 20vT engine into it then you would want to sell it then! :lol:

:L yeh mate, trust me i would keep her if my VR6 didnt have a drink problem :lol:

I need a wee lottery win and then would take the car to the next stage...use this as a daily and the rado as a cheeky show car :p

Its an honour being your first comment :p

hey how much you roughly spent on the car so far??

I've just really started with mine, so far i've gone for colour coded dtm mirrors and base plates,fk mesh grille,60mm lower,and I'm waiting on a flush tailgate,and finding everything drains the money! how much are the standard gti splitters?

  • 2 months later...

just wondering how much were you are black angle lights?

phils car has had 2 owners since phil built it up!

  • 2 months later...

wow cant beleive this is still getting comments!

Yeh iv had a few cars since this, rado vr6, mr2 turbo, skoda fabia and now running a celica gt4

Christian, have you any idea where the car is now and whether or not it is still within the scene? would be interested to hear about it...still miss that car to be fair!

:( would love that thing back!
