o well odered me steelys lol just looking at now lowering it about 35mm all around. should look good then.

tom

the 1.4 8valve is bad for the gearbox mate, if you reckon that it aint quite rite, get it checked asap, golf vr6 interior goes in the polos pretty easy mate.

well its ok aint it. mite get a new en sometime. garage seem to think its ok but possibley tired out. lol

cheers for advice and seats advice thats usefull info didnt no that.

tom

The tyres you will need will be 195/45/R15 dude

cheers ben thanks for that.
looking at getting a recon gearbox for it sometime think this one had it to be honest. you no any good places for gearboxs eg recon, also looking for a good backbox. Loud ish not chav tho lol

tom

Best to have a look round on google or yellow pages for gearbox specialists in your local area, there will be 1 or 2.
Give them a ring tell them the problem, what car you have etc and they will give you a quotation for a refurb.

Sometimes they can be on the pricey side so expect a bill of £400+

As for the exhaust you really can get them from anywhere.
Check out some of the links I sent you previously and select your cars year & model.

Best to get a cat-back system really because it will sound better and might actually free up 1 or 2 bhp.

Ben,

hmmm sounds good. dunno about gearbox mite just leave it till it dies then do summart to be fair it isint to bad. exhuast been looking for a cat back system not found many but will keep looking.

cheers

tom

p.s hows you project going.

cant wait for me wheels mite just improve car looks abit lol

Yeah wheels will make a massive difference to the look of the car, probably the best thing to buy really then start on other bits & bobs to get it looking clean & tidy. Are you going to get it lowered or stick with the standard suspension?

My project is going good thanks, got a few issues to sort out in the next few weeks but nothing major other than a dodgy CV joint. Saving up money now until next year when I will be getting some Schrick Camshafts from JBS Autodesign in Chesterfield. Nothing major planned at the minute

was gonna lower it like 35mm. wheels then sort out body work etc etc. i recon to that wheels will improve loads

tom

Yeah 35mm is a good drop to be fair, it will look better and will still be practical for day to day driving.
I recommend getting a set of Eibach Pro Kit Springs mate, they state "50mm lowering springs" but in reality you get a 35-40mm drop and you dont sacrife the ride comfort of the car.

They are pretty reasonable price wise too at about £120 for the set.

Ben,

they state 50mm thats crazy gonna be on floor lol but they not how that work. 120 not bad realy.


tom

The standard suspension on Polo's is pretty horrendous to be honest dude so a 40mm drop will look very good, you wont have any issues with speed bumps running that kind of drop, its when you drop it 70, 80 or 90mm when you start getting serious issues. Yah £120 is really reasonable

just found these on demon tweeks hmmmhttp://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/Performance/Susp ... 1860/45662
were about are the ones for 140 odd @ 50mm

tom

hmmm 40 sounds good just dont want it to rip stuff off lol and dont want probolems with the wheels. like turing etc etc.

tom

The link you have posted doesnt work for some reason but having checked the heading they sound spot on.
50mm Lowering Springs for a 6N Polo 94-99(00) will be perfect.

Ben,
