probably VF34 Hybrid so anywhere between 380-400.. but for a car that weighs 1100kilos before a diet anymore would be useless...plus i've heard boxes tend to die often at this power so dont want to push my luck too much

as for internals, i'm doing rods, valves & contemplating bigger pistons & bore out to 1.9 + head work. Clutch is already uprated & have peloquin LSD plus a close ratio box so alot of its done already..It all depends on what im able to put aside for it...how much did yours come to in the end? i noticed you did it yourself..fair play to you..i'd love to have the ability & tools/equipment to do it!

Yeah we'll see what happens but gut feeling tells me i'm seeing a ban..just for how long that bothers me & what sort of hike i will be seeing on the insurance.

The polo looks nice mate, are you going GT30?

tidied a few things up, sorted out the loose gaitor on the gearnob & fixed it down properly..also fitted a cupra badge to the front....personally i think its silly to have taken it off...
