good choice mate, you missed out the fact its a light as the polo

a bit of tinkering and you will be victimising m3's, evos scoobies the lot....

although be warned, the more engine work done the thirstier the beast

a uk-p cupra battle sounds in order on the strip

Ha yep i'll definantly be taking it down the strip...hopefully it will pee all over the time i got in the G40 of 15.3 secs!

James, yeah we'll definantly have to line up against eachother, although with mine pushing out around 200ish bhp and standard apart from that.....then I think we can choose a winner now haha

aahhh you never know, mine has big heavy wheels & boot build to weigh it down!

what mods have you got to get it to 200ish? i assume its the standard turbo? remapped, turbo back exhaust etc..

Ive got a slip of 13.8 from the previous owner....if yours is at 200ish you are looking at mid 14's...so no problem beating the G

Well, not that i've done anything to it but it's just had a stage 1 revo remap and has the forge 007 DV. I do believe, that's all!

Feel free to let me know if them bhp figures are off!

shantybeater · Post by **shantybeater** » Tue Feb 05, 2008 3:31 pm

it might be a little lower than 200bhp, with all the trimmings 200-210bhp is normally the max you can get out of the k03....it wont be much lower....best bet is to ask on seatcupra.net

sounds like a RR day is in order!

olop_chris · Post by **olop_chris** » Tue Feb 05, 2008 5:08 pm

Yeah a RR day would be cool, I popped over to the club polo rolling road day at the end of last month to observe like...

We should arrange something fairly central to everyone as a UK-POLOs RR day...but then again, I'm sure this has been discussed many a time in the past!

i dont know why its never been done, clubpolo did one not long ago, they had a list of like 70 cars..i didnt bother going in the end as polos got priority

Haha

Nah you'd have been ok as a BMW ran, and a caddy etc!

Cheers for the info on the bhp figures! Will have to see one day what it's pushing out! Felt pretty healthy in the test run anyways, roll on tommorow to drive my new beast back 140 miles
