300bhp 1.8T'd MK3 RWD Polo - someone's built one!

Post by dxg »

It can be found in the Bruntingthorpe video on this site:
http://dubcircle.net/ about two thirds of the way through, and again at the end.

Does anyone know anything about it?

First time I've seen a Polo snake. (It looks a bit of a handful :shock:)

Deek.

Sounds like Ian Birch's monster, was in PVW back in August last year.

325bhp through the rear wheels, sounds like fun!
