UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Thanks god it's Friday. All I have wanted to do all week is get in the garage and carry on getting the car back together.

Decided to paint the boost pipes and turbo intake pipe black. Probably not the best colour due to heat but this is no race car.

Going to collect them tonight.

More pics to follow after this weekends work but here are some to start the weekend off.

What size tyres are you running on the rs's? Fitment looks perfect

Thanks

Seem to be working at a snails pace but I'm almost there

Couple more water hoses to connect and i can get the front end back on

Had to modify the metal water pipe that run round the block as it was failing on my turbo intake pipe.

Stock one on the right and modified one on the left



I'm new to welding so don't laugh


After a lick of paint




Also added a take off to the bottom of the turbo intake for the evap system

I haven't run 195's on a 7.5" wheel with this power so couldn't comment.
I ran 195's on 7" wheel and found it was fine and 195's on a 7.5" when I was stage 2 and was ok too.

Don't get me wrong the more tyre the better but this all works for me and what I want to achieve.

Almost there



Ran into a problem though. The inline filler I got is the wrong size so sending it off to my fabricator whilst I'm on holiday he'll modify it to the correct size inlet and outlet and some small other changes.

Also my callipers were sent off for painting a fees weeks ago and as per usual there were delays so second year in a row ill be working to the bone trying to get ready for MIVW

Is she running

Ok so I have been busy working on the car where possible and went on a 2 week holiday so sorry for the delay in updates but I'll let the below images and vid do the talking

The reaction on some peoples faces when they get blown away by a 320bhp polo must be priceless...

thats mad! nice work, like the headlights also!

Through out this whole thread ive been trying to tihnk where is place in the pictures, looks familiar! im from southend too, i noticed you said at the start of your thread you was here visiting and then later on i tihnk you said you had moved? maybe i got that wrong! read all 55!! pages of this thread, amazing work done, patience and patience with members questions!

Ive heard rumours of this polo around southend with in the "scene", would be great to get in contact with you closer to the time of me possibly purchasing a polo to get your thoughts on what is best, and what not to touch (Forge FMIC for example)! do you ever drive this around or is it just a weekend car as ive never seen this about and im out and about fairly often in either my car or other peoples cars!

would be great to hear back from you buddy!

Only £8.50 each too

Where did u get the washer cap from and is it a genuine black cap or just a painted blue one?
