UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

i've had 120 on the speedo a few times (very very late at night on an empty and stupidly long road) and it still pulled, I didn't want to take it over that as it felt a bit unstable lol

On a private road, of course, I managed 133 with my stock GTI

Dave

Wooohoooo

Im part of the 130 massive ! haha

Prob coulda gone higher with a longer road, but then again 130 from a newish 1.6 these days is blindin !

*Bounces around the office*

Ive had 135 on my own and 132 with bro and mate in car! got k&n panel filter and full on arse kicking magnex system! let the polo breath!

what are the magnex pipes like noise wise etc?
i want to change my powerflow oval 6x4 to a magnex. i only want to do this to get it quieter lol.
i have just the back box at the mo.
cheers jon
any help would be gd!

u like quiet?
most ppl like LOUD as possible.
(i prefer looks as to performance )

Nah I agree with Jon, its gotta be a fairly subtle note for me too. Saw a Golf Mk2 a few weeks ago at the traffic lights with an exhaust that rumbled so loud and deep that you could feel it as well as hear it

Mate's Polo Mk4 has a powerflow system on it, cat back straight-thru and on the quietest possible set-up using the baffles. Sounds really nice to me! Only a slight difference in tone at idle but a lot sportier at high-end revs and not too loud you'd never tell it was there though, he's had it cut to fit behind the bumper...

yeah some ppl have LOUD and we can feel it rumbling

i like the sound of the BMW's 330i engine... subtle and roars when planted

im trying to get my dad to put a milteck on his R32 there ment to sound nice!!!!!! i've had 130 an bottled it , me dads had 150, and it gets there sooooooooooooooo easy!!!!!!!!!

got my old polo off the clock it was a 1.0l with a 16v conv. got my new polo 16v to 125. livingston to glasgow in about 15 mins lol

My 1st gti hit 139 mph and this one hits 134 mph but this could be down to the Gearbox rebuilds.

I hit 155 mph in my coupe turbo and been 180 mph on a gsxr, I would never do that again!!!!! For a few years anyway.

Mine has seen 140 on the clocks, true speed was probably lower than that though

I got to 120 on the way back from picking the car up.... Then got scared because it was dark and the first time I had driven the car!

Was still pulling though so I dunno what it would have went to

Soon as I get the niggles ironed out, I'll see what mine can manage.. Have seen 182, in my old skyline , woulda hit higher, but ran outta strip.. Gutted I sold before I visited the autobahn

The official info for top speed in catalogue as i know is 128miles/ph or 205km/ph. So there is no doubt for reaching 130 miles I have been driving my polo with 140miles and it could get a bit more. With exactly 200km/ph the Revolutions per minute are 6000. Imagine what is the speed if it get to 6800rpm
