well VW have Polos for sale in HK....... price is more or less the same i believe...... autos are a nightmare wit small engines....

well.....in theory we are not supposed to touch suspension and ride height here. But in reality cops only chase after cars with coffee can mufflers, gunmetal rims and racing decals....

the 100ps 1.4 on stick w/ A/C turned on is not any better than an auto, haha

good point...... well a 1.4 is really what u need aint it? theres so many speed cameras (and police dudes with speed guns) that u cant really go fast....... and limits on the no 3 highway (cant remem the name

)

Well that was interseting. Didn't know that you're not allowed to "mod" your cars in HK>

What about all those done up and tuned Jap cars like Skylines and Evo's?

By law.. u r not allowed to mod.. but the cops doesn't care unless you are making trouble.......

True true. Bit stupid that they've got that law in the first place then, isn't it?

I got the alloys off the hands of a fellow dubber in HK, refurbrished them before putting them onto the Polo, like new!

around ~350 pounds (excluding repair & refurbrishing) ....
Someday I'd like to have Porsche wheels on it, used wheels are cheap in HK as long as you are willing to pay for repair etc.

at least labour in HK is cheaper than the UK!

limits on the no 3 highway

My 100ps tried running on 185km/h on the Route 3, still can go faster.. but toll ahead....

at least labour in HK is cheaper than the UK!

Mate.. U r wrong... Labour in Hong Kong ain't cheap.. Garage charge HK$200 (GBP15) for lub changing job. around HK$1500 (GBP100) for changing suspension. and around $2000 for spraying one door.... w/ that money I think you can respraying the whole car in China.....

There' re around 100 Polo 9Ns in HK, most are 1.4 75ps AT.. 1.4 100ps MT is very rare.. not more than 10 in HK.
