Make sure you put it on ebay classifieds too ben - much cheaper than autotrader and much wider audience.
I love the high reving lol :) but yeah you do have to put your foot down to get them going compared to a turbo petrol/diesel
The power band is relatively small though as VTEC kicks in at 5800rpm and the limiter is at 8400rpm on the standard UK models.
I may address that somewhere down the line and change the ECU which increase the limit to 8900/9000rpm 8)
Its ok booting it low down, but its all torque. All you have to do is drop a cog in the civic. Its not suited for a lazy driver like the golf, especially with DSG.

Loving the motor Ben. Don't even think about doing ECU mods. B pipe and Teigwa FTW!!!

The Polo's are hard little cars to sell simply because its hard to actually put them up for sale, they have a habit of persuading you to not sell up :) lol

Mine will be on eBay this weekend and i'm hoping it sells fairly quickly

Still got some parts left if anybody is interested such as the Raceland Manifold, K&n Typhoon, G60's and more bits & pieces

Post up a thread with what it is you do have I may be interested in some bits, and Cornish drummer would most likely love your g60's.
