:D
Chrome bumpers decked on wide rims and an exaust i think - anyone got some links for me for bits?
:notworthy!
My first proper car was a white coupe S MKII - loes it!
Deck it, deck it good :nod:
Fit huge wide banded steelies with super stretch, silly offset, and that's all.
Done!
Love it dude, another old skool ride to treck down to Dals :thumbs:
looks good dude, i had a load of dub sites with cool shit for my golf back in the day but cant remember em. 60+mm drop minimum :)
60+mm drop minimum :)
:nod: hehe
Ah this brings back memories :smitten:. Had a Mk2 S coupe for my first car and thoroughly enjoyed it.
Baz, i've sent you a pm re: the rubber gasket for the carb!:thumbs:

I still love these. My first car was a Polo mk2 breadvan. I lowered it 80mm, smoothed anything smoothable on it, drove it in to a mud bank being silly and sent it to the great v dub gathering in the sky :( RIP lowlow.
my mates got a g40 one, there really good handling wise
Well got the car back on the road MOT'd and now TAX'd - used it for about two days and somthings broke!
It needed a few bits for the MOT and got a new gearbox while it was in the shop - since I got it back I'v personly fixed the drivers door lock/handle so I can get in the bloody thing an I'v almost messed with the carb so it does'nt idle at 2k anymore :rolleyes:
As for whats broken...pass, I was pullin up my drive when there were some bad noises I lost gear selection. Now its a 30k box on there and Iv unlinked the selector encase that slipped and I can get all the gears but the only way to get the engine going is with the clutch down. Either the clutch has gone or the gearbox has jammed mid gear.
Cock cock cock cock....
apart from that its loverly! lol
Next plan is to locate a injection engine for it and swap it while the missus is away (so she wont know what im upto! ) lol shouldnt be too expencive an i'll do it on my drive over a weekend.
Apart from that 40mm lower and some nice rims are on the cards i think.:nod:
I've got a white mk3 Polo 1.3 Coupe sat in a garage that my Grandad donated to me, keep thinking about doing something with it...

looks just like this one >>>

I always fancied a G40 when I was younger, one day I might do something with this one, but not got the time or money at the moment, got 2 cars already, 3 would be OTT :wack:
I ran a Mk3 for 18 months, cracking little motor. Great for fun cheap motoring which is what i needed as I didn't want to use the 200 as a daily drvier :D
well besides my S14a, I've also got one of these as a daily driver >>>

the Polo is dreadful to drive in comparison, if I ever get it back in the road it will be getting an engine transplant, brake/suspenison upgrades, etc...
however at the moment it's a no go :no:
*cough* 60mm lower *cough* *cough*

Wanna sell the white one? Missus is going daft to get another.
can't do really, as my Grandad gave it to me and he's still around, so he won't be best pleased if I sell it :wack:

Dude! You can get a full set of springs and dampers for one of these for about £125! :wack: The polo that Messydan posted was my old polo, it had one of the aforementioned kits on it!
Chuck me a pm and I'll send you in the right direction - I may well be pm'ing you about those carbs soon anyway...

Erm, 100mm drop minimum ;) My mk1 golf had approx 100mm, and in hindsight should have gone lower :(

Can't practically be done on these cars mate. The photo of the polo posted by messydan (my old polo) was lowered 60mm. On standard 13" steelies, it was too low to get tracking equipment over the wheels and too low to gte over the speed bumps at my work.
If you want a polo you can still drive, 60mm is the max you can drop it.
Anyone good on carbs , mine are flooding, been told its either the floats or the float vlaves but got no idea where to start. Their GSXR 600 Carbs, idealy a diagram would be nice! :(
any luck on the dub forums?, when i upgraded to a weber on my golf i had to change the jets,

Try club polo mate, they're usually pretty friendly and there are a few guys on there that have done the carb conversion.
Have you got a fuel pressure regulator? If they're getting too much fuel pressure then they'll flood...

That is one sexy polo..........................BAZ!!!!
what fuel pump are you using, you obviously need a carb pump, and with a regulator as the standard car pump will be too powerful (even the mechanical one will be) dont forget that the bike will be gravity fed so any pressure is too much pressure for the floats. i think about 2 psi is ideal
the carbs as standard will probably be piss lean on a standard car engine as the car wont flow enough air to draw enough fuel with the standad bike jets, try dropping the needle or raising the needle on the slide, just take the top off the carbs, then pull the big spring then slide out, then the needle should be on a circlip, if you lower it you lean it off, and vise versa. will give you an idea if its lean or rich

Wow.....at this rate your going to know bus drivers by first name basis:wack:

apparently, when converting a polo to run on bike carbs, most people set up so that it runs in a circuit back to the fuel tank, placing a T-piece in the line, this then ensures the pressure actually getting to the carbs is relatively low... People have been doing this on club polo with no issues...
