Do you not think it's a little bit of a coincidence that even if she got the number wrong, the number she did write down was also of a Polo, let alone another polo gti???

It's probably some sod who's stolen your number so he can get away with stuff like this

Re: The CUP GTI is getting closer

VW are rumoured to have been prompted into action over the lukewarm reception that the Polo GTI has recevied in the press. As a consequence, the CUP version of the GTI seems to be getting closer (on the continent, at least). 180hp version of the 1.8T now confirmed, and a whole bunch of official pre...

I'm way too lazy to convert to MPG.

In my 2.0 8v I between 11 and 12.4km/litre for my daily commute in traffic. I travel between 550 and 620km between fill ups, but when I fill up, I put in 50 litres approx

I had one of the first Clio 172's and now have a 9N2 and the handling of the Clio was loads better than the Polo. I used to take the Clio on the local track and could easily get times of 1:21.8s per lap, which is very repectable. Golf 4 GTI's, the 150bhp model would only come in at 1:23 something. I...

Stunning car and colour.

I think to your list you should add the following

- Polo GTI Grille
- Polo GTI side skirts
- Polo GTI boot spoiler
- Twin exist exhaust system (looks nice on the Polo)

Thought you must be, as a 2 hour drive wasn't put down as a negative!!! Laughing *I* think it's a negative, but if it gets me a cheaper car I'm all for it. With the parts, was wondering if there were, preferably, non-GTI door sills that would fit a MkVII Polo. I was also wondering if the centre con...

odd combination of units it uses - imperial horsepower with metric newton-metres .... where's the accompanying kilowatts vs lb-ft graph? :D I assume the left hand box is the second set of results, and the upper line is torque.... nice set of curves :D *edit* wait, it went up from 320 to 400Nm just ...

I'm pretty sure that the 9N one would fit quite easily.
I'd have to go look at my sisters 9N and compare it to my 9N3 to see exactly

Hey roadhawg.

I had planned on getting to the dyno just after lunch, but unluckily, my morning filled up pretty quick and ran over till about 3:30...which was a bit late to be driving from the west to KAR.

Saw your post on the VW club forums about the dyno giving the diesels funny results...

I'd also highly rate the Revo remap.

That alone should get you in the region of 125kW

The above comparison is between the two engines is comparing the 225bhp version against the older non-vvt big valve engine. The new Polo will have the small valve version with vvt and Ko3s turbo which means 220-230bhp just from a remap. Yep, the two engines I quoted were the old 110kW GTI motor vs ...
