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

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?

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.

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

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.
