hang on hang on........

am i reading this right? your gonna basically use a mk4 polo and swap its 1.4 engine for a 2.8 vr6 engine of a golf using a golf and a seat ibiza gti as the donar cars? if i read it right u r a really crazy fool, ive read of mad stuff on here befor but i think this beats it all......

however if its true i will be watching this.......... if this works as planned this is gonna be one uncontrolably fast "little" polo.

[septic]

This guy's a legend if he pulls it off.

[NOZ]

Truely will be but i'd love to see it handle a corner. The fronts gonna be way too heavy. Nevertheless you've got big cahoonas for building it!

well to start if u dont mind kipper im not a fool
i will be using a golf vr6 as a doner car that i am buying tomorow
only a few ibiza gti parts from a slvage yard
2 donar cars would be a bit of a waste of money dont u thing just to get the sub frame???
it was a 1.4 turbo that i converted myself about 8 months ago
it will be a fast little polo
the handling will be hard to sort out as i will be havy on the front
so im just going to try the hardest i can with anti roll systems
desent wide tyres
and one hell of alot of ICE in the boot planning on 3 12" subs and 4 amps with
a switch charge battery system
i dont really want to add too much weight but soo muc will be needed

take alook at the video link at the bottom of my first post
im not the first this one on the video is also turboed
also its not the first car i have VR6ed before my 92 jetta being the first
not such a different car to the polo when u look at it
as the wheels bass is similar and the jetta is a very light car even with the boot as before the engine was installed and the 1.8 that was in it it came to around the .7 tonne mark polo is maybe just over .6

[BratManGTi]

heres a few pics of the jetta
sadly as my laptop that had the whole diary on was nicked i dont have many pics only these 3

[kipper]

clearly uve taken me in the wrong sense, when i say ur a crazy fool i dont mean it in an offensive way i mean it in a respectable way for doing soomething like this.

also u said just now that ur only using the ibiza for the sub frame but in the list u got 9 parts listed from the ibiza.....

[septic]

This is what happens ladies and gentleman whenn you combine sh1t loads of cash, experience and a hell of a lot of time. If only I had all three. REgardless...you got skillz.

[BratManGTi]

im very sorry kipper your right i took you the wrong way
well the ibiza bit mainly coms in for the subframe but theres a few extre cosmetic bit that the ibiza would be good for
but not enough to buy one for parts as they are expensive and will not compensate like the VR6 will
i will be using all the pats i need off the VR and selling what i can to make up for spome of the money spent on buying the car
and scrap the shell with a tank full of water

and thanks for your what i take as a compliment also lol
but i lost my licence last week and no long spend my wadges on the £1.10 ltr of tesco 99 every night and the amount of oil tyres etc etc
im going to do the conversion with the target of 1k
and the paint and other mods to about 1500 - 2000
but alot of the money will b gained back with the bit left over after hopefully paying the conversion off
experience is a good thing to have
i had done a few similar things before
but i didnt go to college to learn this stuff the world has it all in books and now on the net
its just being a bit of a geek and getting to know your stuff
time i make time i work 7am till 5pm then most nights 6pm till midnight
i spend my time on the car when im not workin
you dont need any special tools just a bit of space a good socket set by that i mean with loads of sockets and everything no snap on stuff
i use rolson stuff still take a good hamerin
axel stands and a jack
i do have skills but it does come down to s**t
sorry cannot spell lol

i hope you guys get out there and just go mad do what u want with your car
all you have to know is what u want and DO IT

please keep folowing guys you may learn somthin u may not

and ideas or comments are more than welcome

i know its just the matt paint is very delicate to look after
i would like the matt primer grey look but a bit darker
my mate says he has a way or it looking matt but actually having laqure on it
im going to ask him about it tonight

[LeMeph]

I think it needs a colour to reflect the shere insanity and awesomeness of this project. Id spray it white then top that up with healthy amounts of blood and goats heads because this surely borders on the line of satanic lol.

I love your attitude towards the project it is inspiring. I think along the same lines. I dont act on those same lines though lol. Like you say i have bills holding me down. Im actually considering dropping my insurance now, taking both my cars off road and just working them to s**t. Only thing is im full time student so dont really have the funds to just go and buy what i want. I just about earn enough to feed myself!
