Yeah mate I have already bought the bigger intake :) it's being fitted in 2 weeks now so I can’t wait for that.
The only problem with the RBC inlet manifold though is that the slam panel by the radiator has to be modified for it to fit properly, looks really neat when done but because of modification it is quiet pricey to get fitted.

I've also got a 70mm throttle body to mount to the Inlet but I’m just waiting for an adapter plate to arrive from Malaysia lol once that is delivered I will get the Inlet manifold port matched to the same diameter as the throttle body then get them fitted. The car is being mapped at the same time so it's going to be an expensive bill this month but after that's done it will more or less finished power wise. I have also got my eyes on a set of Brembo 4 pot calipers so that could be another update 8)

Yeah it’s a shame there are not more parts available for the Polo GTI's, I guess that's the problem with having such a rare car.
There are soo many bits available for the EP3 it's crazy, the only downside is the parts are expensive so if you have big plans for the car then you need to spend a lot of wedge.

I love how it looks from the back now, it's just a shame I don’t get to see it lol
It’s coming along nicely though, the next 3 major jobs that would totally finish the car off would be a Wavertec LSD with Spoon final drive, Big brake conversion and Toda Cams to push it to 260bhp lol mega bucks though

Your interior looks amazing though, totally unique so deffo worth the money and you have the satisfaction of knowing its a custom job

Yeah we sadly only live once so I might as well go for it :twisted: Cams, LSD & big brakes lol
I bet you have been having some serious fun on the quad, that thing is a serious weapon 8)

I went a bit cheap ass with the throttle body and got a S90 Japspeed one which tbh doesnt look the best quality but should hopefully be alright when fitted.
It cost £135 and the RBC inlet manifold was £250 so I have done quiet well price wise but I just hope everything fits ok :)

Here's a pic of the Throttle body and a couple more of the back end 8)
