Glad to help Rob. Love you too.
I do see 4-stud wheels, so no VR6 brakes for sure. Perhaps the G60 items as they fit under the 15" wheels. I'll keep at it to find out more.

one thing i have noticed from those pics, i believe that those to examples are left hand drive, correct? problem that i have seen is that on left hand drive cars the brake servo is on the different side than on right hand drive cars! by the looks of those pics, there isn't a lot of room where the brake servo should be on a right hand drive mk3!
but then, anything is possible, if u got the money, worth speaking to dubsport or someone like that, see what they say!

the 15" wheels will be for the 280 (or is it 288 ?) mm brake conversion. This uses the spacer bracket and VW type two callipers with the big discs. They are sold for the Mk 1 golf gti and fit the Mk 3 polo. G60 brakes dont fit the Mk 3 polo.

that's such a cowboy way of getting bigger brakes. I haven't heard many good things about tsr's big brake 'adaption'....

Its either that, the audi ones or a hi-spec 4 pot calliper kit. They arent the best kit, but you are still getting a lot more leverage and surface area. The best set-up would obviously be the 4 pot's but they aint cheap.

IMO you should junk the petrol engine idea alltogether. why not a 1.4/1.9 tdi pd engine?
then it'd be the first pd engined mk3 polo

PD's are still very expensive, as they're pretty rare and new.
OTOH: Would love to feel that torque in such a light shell...

It's rumoured to have the Mk3 Golf underpinnings. Wonder how they did that.

Found that last one on PCR -->
www.polofans.de (German board). The folks there say it's used as a qtr mile canon. Therefore, I'm guessing it's a tuner that owns it.
Motivation!

Useful language.
Nah, I'm on there every day, so if something comes by (like this did) I'll relay it back here.

Cheers boss!! You Jonny Foreigners do have your uses!!
So nobody knows any details on the actual instalations in those cars? If that turbo'd one is a tuners surely they must have a website....

That's what I was thinking too, but no-one on there knew anything! It's a big board too, (as in, many users) but it's still unclear whose car it is. The board is orientated towards the west of Germany, so it could be hidden towards Berlin somewhere.
I'll keep checking.
