Hey just found this and read the listing as stated i think hell yeah that is what i want my misses to be running around in but does he really think it is a Rs4, Rs6, porch, m3 and s5 killer? It is alot of power running through a light car but can the power be put on the road????
Still intrested to see what it goes for and actually really like it, not over done but mean looking :grin:

Hmm well a porche 911 turbo puts out 260 bhp per ton and im guessing the polo weighs around a ton so perhaps the polo has 260-270 bhp per ton.
Good match there but like you said, putting the power down would be an issue for the polo . maybe the polo could have the edge on a rolling start but deffinately not off the line, The porsche has the traction off the lights.
But thats a tempting offer though . its nearly at 2500 now and im guessing its reserve is in the 4000 bracket.
my stripped 230 bhp G60 will be on ebay soon, this one >

Yes please. :cool:

It is going to be quick but traction will be a issue.

He's had all of them on the motorway, when the drivers of the other cars had cruise on and were relaxing on the way home from their well-paid jobs.
His staffy told him to do all of it, including the flocking and the racing.

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
I could possibly belive it could keep up with these cars once it is rolling but i would be instrested to see what diff he is using? I might email him and find out.
Funny though i showed my misses it and she actually liked it :shocked: she isnt really into her cars but knows that she likes VW's and as she is looking for a small car at the mo what could be better??? :grin:

This is a very fast car not for the faint hearted.. Top Speed of 165MPH.. Has beaten Porches 4Ss, New M3s, New Rs4s, S5s, RS6s.. loads of cars.. not much that touches it due to the low weight and big bhp..
This doesn't say what he's beaten them at? Possibly an egg beating competition? Lowest car? Highest mpg???

This is true. didnt think about that. I appriciate that the car might be able to hit 165mph but would anyone in there right mind feel safe doing that kind of speed in that??? I would prefer to be doing it in oone of the cars he has beaten that have been designed to do that kind of speed.

+1 This is what i was thinking :grin:
-
Its got a Custom Turd remap. It won't be quick

Never heard of this remap before, are they crap then?
-
But there's loads of supercars do more than 165 so its not supercar quick at all. Pluss I rekon 165 in that it would be shakin panels off all over the shop.

i thought that most german machinery was limited to 155 so if this polo could do 165 its faster :rolleyes:
-
Bmws arnt supercars though and mercedes really only have one. Porsche are but take that aside, a restricter could be taken off and I don't know if they actually get put on, I remember watchin a topgear where they were testing the top speed and they went past the limiter.

I've had a 911 GT2 in works 1l Fiesta.
He was doing 50MPH and I had him with ease at 60MPH. :cool:
-
9n3 GTIs struggle with traction at 180+bhp, 280ish in a 6n2 must be eating tyres all over the place :grin:
-
Dont that belong to the guy on ed38 who ripped people off over alloy wheels???The car rings a bell for some reason
-

I love mine and wouldn't change it :lipsrsealed:
-
I have no dout that this polo will be quick, just dont think it really would eat all the cars he has listed :rolleyes:
-
yers i have big doubts as to how true this is about beating al those cars as on public roads doing that speed in that car would shake you to peices and can imagine the car undressing its lil pannels at high speed but on the ryt track that best suits the cars abilities i can imagine it could beat a few bigger cars but in a straight line race i highly doubt it can do was it stated,, i would like to see videos of this and would put my hands up it they prove me rong..
but still a verri nice car
-
Yes you are right that on a track it could possibly up there with the big boys but on the other hand what about the fact that it is a little light weight front wheel drive car with a lot bigger and heavier engine then it should normally have, screams tyre wall to me :shocked:
Like you said though still really like it :grin:
-
gud point there and also i can imagine it having quite bad torque steer plus i bet he struggles getting any power down when hard cornering, and with the added weight of the bigger engine the polo int designed for that weight difference i bet it has a big effect on lift off oversteer aswell
-
well this is what i was thinking, so maybe not track now?? The only way i can think this car would possiblly keep up with one of those cars listed is if he was already rolling the wheels at a good speed so he can put the power down. I am suprised though that he didnt include a vid of it in the listing, he seems to be pritty cnfident about the car in the way he lists it, would have been something i would have done!
-
i doubt it would beat some of the stuff he claims,unless its set perfectly it couldnt corner at any real speed.and off the line it wouldnt get the power down,but i bet its still fun and shocks alot of people :grin:
-
definately yerz if he is as confidednt as he sounds he should put up a video plus he cant just expect every1 to believe the quotes he made about the car. and he must of had a good rolling start and good tires on a hot dai to be able to get the power down to the road unless he is using different gear ratios and/or a limited slip diff to aid traction and drivability
-
I would have expected that with all the work done it would have a lsd? Would be great fun to have a go in it or even to own it. I have a mate on the polo forum and he had a look at it said he has never seen it on any of the frums he is on, he posted it up on them and nobody seems to know it, you at least would have expected him to join a forum if he has done all that work??? I defo would have to show it off, espically if it can put all those cars to shame?
Personally wanting to email this guy and ask him to meet me at the next santa pod run what you brung day against my bro's rs4 and lets see who is laughing at the end :evil:
Anyway found this on and thoought omg
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LxMJMUgfyls
not a polo but you get the jist oof how hard it would be to keep the power down in low gears :grin:
-
i'd laf if he took it to the next santa pod meet and u beet him with ur g60 wipe the smile of his face and ebay add lol :)
-
mmm dont think my car would beat it but once i have taken my to jabba and had the smaller pulley and chip i would be well up for it. Thats why i said my bro's rs4 cause mine wont do it and yet he claims it eats rs4's alive, i might even be tempted to email him this thread link :evil:
-
oh do it do it easy be god to send him this thread cuz he'd see all the posts and want to prove himself ryt ans posibly he may add videos and your wit a smaller pully and chip would be awsome i have to go to the pod when i'm on te road but my main objective is to have my car for germany 2012 wit neg but i'l prob be the only 1 in a mini against aload of dubs lol
-
ok i wiill send him the link :evil: well by then i either hope to be running my g60 but have it well modded towards the 250bhp mark and stripped or if god is listing to my prays then a audi s2 engine :grin:
-
250 bhp and with the torque from the supercharger would be awsome fun to drive and a gr8 track day blast aswell will good g60 reliability and praying for aqn engine i mite hav 2 try that lol dont no if u dont try :)
-
I remember a thread about a polo 1.8T with a flocked dash etc...
The polo owner conned money (or a set of wheels) out of a few lads on the forums. Could this be the same guy???
-
Hmmm someone said about this earlier. They rekon it is the same person. I suppose to con wheels is easier than to change tyres.
-
It may just be he's 'not into forums'.
There are a lot of people out there who don't want to be among chattering school boys of the like who are jabbering away in nearly-English on this thread. :rolleyes:
I don't think it'll have an LSD - he would have mentioned it in the advert, as they're not cheap.
-

Hahahahaha I just love how honest you are. It's ridiculously funny.

I like his dog.

O i thought that was his girlfriend :laugh: :laugh:
Maybe it comes with the sale or maybe it has eaten the forth wheel??

I wouldnt put it past him lol
I agree that is gonna be stupid fast,but am near inuf sure it feels stupidly unsafe at higher speeds.
If u think about all these conversions that have been done to difarent cars..... they can never get the power down, not ever. in my old 1.4 zr i have left people of the line all the way up until 3rd gear from the lights and only then do they realy get power to the road productivly. anybody can have loads of power but the real question is if the power can be utilised from a stand still!

Y do u have to mention my misfortunes in the gti

if u didnt have misfortune then i wouldnt have mentiond it :laugh:

Would be quicker than an RS4, M3, etc rolling in 3rd, 4th or 5th. Won't find much traction at all of the line, so would need to be careful with the right foot!

but then if you can afford any of these cars then you can afford to have it tuned aswell :wink: :grin:

Yer true, and they are going to be little bit more comfy and its going to feel a little more stable doing over a ton :D
