so first up was 2 strip out the engine of a black 2001 gti since its getting a 20v conversion!

off with the front!

few bits off and out she pops!

all parked up waiting the post man 2 bring the 20v

new ride hight lol

next job was 2 brake a silver one i bought of a chap of here!
so ip i went 2 brummy land in the truck 2 pick up this!

guy recons he was doing close 2 a ton when he hit the central resevation!! and having had my own rather high speed crash in a gti i can def say they hold up well!

yes i drove the rear axle round the yard making engine nosies! lol

sadly my camara decided 2 die at this point so i cant show u what was let of it when we were done!
but we cut the whole car up so small we managed 2 get the whole thing in my mates small wheelbase van! lol

Not seen the mag?....whats in it?

I have been toying with the ideas of creating my own "W12 Golf" type polo...

with a mid mounted V6/V8 instead..... but thats just a silly idea...lol gota get the TVR finished first!

well my idear was just 2 get a s1600 kit (big arches) and 20v it! but now ive seen this mk1 with its engine bay soooooooooo clean (looks like the engine is just resting in there and not conected!) im loving that look!

then there is the mini coper s seat ive got 2 be retrimed, o and blacing out the interior like a anaversiry golf or m3, suspention mods (like torsion bars!) every time i wake up the list gets bigger!!

2 begine with it was just 2 clean it up (its had a few hard years!) and use it! now im thinking about cover cars! hmmmmmmmmm

Dont tempt me...

A while ago I started drawing up a space frame chassis to sit in the polo to allow a passat transaxle and VR6 engine to sit where the rear seats are... replace the front and rear suspension with double A arms... lol... but then I bought the TVR and got a job haha

You seen this?
Dahlback polo... 600hp

At some point in the future... something like this has to be built in my garage!

If you get the s1600 body kit.. and chance of borrowing it to make some moulds up...... then we can pop off as many as we want

was just thinking that mate!

that dailback polo uses the new s1600 kit!
if u find some pics of underneath the way u were talking aout doing you 6n2 one with subfranes that every thing sits 2/ connects to is excatly how that one has been done!

very cool stuff!

Agh fair enough... do you have any pics of a S1600 6N2? or more of that one?

Would be good to see some more photos of the subframes and interior of that dahlback..... I wonder what diff/gearbox they used...

Bad thoughts.... bad..bad..... Realy...I musnt.....

bbspolo · Post by **bbspolo** » Fri Dec 19, 2008 9:45 am

yes mate ive got loads! ill post some up when i get back from my interview!

the 9n use's a sarb rear axel as there cheap and bulit proof! loads of the escort boys are useing them now!

the other option is 2 find a old xkr jag and use the rear suspention out of one of those! there a 11inch diff

(in perspective the cosworth ones are 7-71/2 and the skylines are only 8inch) there is a 800hp cosworth that has used the jag one for 4 years and not had any problems!
plus u can pick them up off ebay for Â£50-Â£100

Jag rear end... are you having a joke... those things weigh more than the rest of the car....

The MX5/freelander rear diff is probs good for about 400hp....

What diff do the 4WD golfs use at the back?.... that must be a fairly neat setup...

By the time you have found an engine/gearbox/diff..and modified the rear end to take RWD...you might as well simply fit an engine behind the front seats... like the renault clio V6 thing.... Not sure how that would effect handling... but it can only be a good thing, moving the weight to the front...

Only problem is getting access to the engine lol

That's beautiful. Where can I read more?

Its not as good looking as the blue one... those arches dont "fill out" enough for my liking...

Having said that.... that car with RWD or 4WD would ROCK!
