Hey, I'm just about to sell my mk3 for a tdi like yours.

How much of a difference did the remap make?

And how did it feel compared to the GTI?

Car looks sweet dude :-) .

Cant wait to get mines.

Quite a bit, gives about 30bhp and a fair bit of torque, down the 1/4 mile its only 0.5 seconds behind a GTi so it can move when it needs to

Cheers dude, you manage to find one with cheap tax?

  • No mega updates on this again, though is likely to be making way for new project (another rocco ) Realised that most of picture links are broken for the most recent pics so here's a small selection

Never knew there were different tax bands?

I thought they were all just £30 a year.

Haven't found the specific one yet but the nearer to or in Scotland the better.

Just waiting on a cheque coming in the post that I'm due now.

Got a couple in mind now but I want this money in my account before I start asking about each car.

I'm know tons about mk3s now but not so much 6n2s so I'm sure I'll be full of questions soon haha.

Will deffo be the 1.4 tdi model I'm after though :).

Yeah there's two tax bands for the 6n2, W and X plate are pre-2001 so get taxed on the old system, Y and 51 plates are taxed on the new emissions guidelines from March 2001 and carry the cheaper option (£30 vs £115 on the old system)

Cool, no worries, chuck the questions at me, I'll be more than happy to help! :-D

Eurgh why is it so hard to decide on wheels? Had to knock off two options as they just won't fit (offset too low) and I'm not going to go mad trying to make them fit as this is my daily after all, got the rocco to be silly with :-D

So far, kinda got it narrowed down to

There were one or two others I liked but they looked a bit chavvy :lol: wouldn't mind some BBS RZ/RJ's but can't find any cheap enough...

I have a set of the bottom ones so don't get them :lol: j/k get want you want.

Top ones! Never seen those before.

Sort of moving towards the top ones but had almost decided on the bottom one's as they have better options (can get them 15x6.5 ET40 for the front and 15x7 ET28 for the back, nice bit of stance) whereas the top's are only 15x7 ET30, really don't know! :?

I want your black steels!!!!!

Car is looking good dude!

Back on winters now as castellets finally sold, not sure what to replace them with, any ideas?

hey Jon looks good

please tell me you will be filling them switch blanks with lots of actual switches though would look so much better with lots of factory accesories and gadgets ;)

and on the wheels of the 3 options i vote the top ones as they would look PIMP on your car

Might be holding off on wheels for this, gonna concentrate on the VR for a bit, get that bit further on, but after driving Harris' mk3 up the pod yesterday, I need a fast old polo, so this may become a towcar :lol:

Well, new year and not much to say for the burner yet, still hankering for a fast old polo but that will be the next project when I decide to get shot of my VR methinks

Only updates on this are, replaced wishbones/ball joints/drop links/track rod arms for new and sanded/painted the crossmember that was more orangey than Dale Winton :lol:

Wheel update too (thanks to the legend that is Mattnaz ;) )
