im in the middle of rebuilding my polo gti into a track car! when i took the rear beam of 2day i started thinking what mods can be done 2 them 2 give better handaling?
just for those that dont know the beam on my polo is the same basic type as those fitted 2 corrados, and all old golfs!

cheers in advance!

 

no one?

 

Do you have pics of the beam? May help people recommend modifications?

 

No help to you mate but I had a Polo GTi, and this is exactly the response I got for tuning kit

I gave up on it because it was slow. Handled well on the coilovers, and was well built. But was dog slow and I was 22..

 

haha yer mine has a 20v with a ihi turbo so tunning isnt a problem but going round corners proves 2 be a bit tricky!

so far ive got coilovers and a rear arb and proflex bushes all round but just wondering what else 2 do while its striped 2 a shell!

your one looks clean just a pitty its not black

 

No one was doing the 1.8T conversion on them when I had it (2001). Was 20k for the conversion........

Very nearly got it s/c, but that would have been 5k and I couldn't be arsed....

 

there still not much less now days! most places i rang still wanted 5k plus!
im amazed now as im half way though doing mine and it rearly ist that differcult!

ive had a go in a g40 engined polo gti and it wasnt much cop 200hp in what for a small car is quite heavy! and from what ive read about the standard gti 1.6 engine u would have 2 replace loads of bits even for a small supercharger conversion as the engines arnt that strong!

good old vw's hey!
(wouldnt sell mine for the world though lol)

 

Yeah, engine was shit. When I had a look most of the chassis was identical to the Ibiza 1.8T.... So I couldn't understand why it was so expensive....

Must have been a wiring issue or something....

Jap is the future

 

yer thats were i got engine mounts and bits from!
as for the wiring loom there is a guy on club polo who makes them up so u can use the standard ecu, the only problem ive had is getting some drive shafts made! but thats it!

 

Glad to see it's all moved on a bit. I just got told take it to Dubsport. I phoned them and they said because it would be a new conversion, it'd be around 20 grand to allow for development.........

I wonder if I'd have got a cut of their profits after that.

 

Pleasetell me if you think im being out of order but wouldnt you be better off getting advice off a vw or polo forum!!???

 

The only advice he'd get on there is how to lower it 300mm on 10x13" alloys with 165/40/13 tyres...........


They don't do performance......
