Sorry guys.... This threat is like a joke to me. In South Africa we have a certain race as in skin colour (No names mentioned) that do the most amazing things to these cars. The polo would take a GTI off the road.

But I would rather have the GTI cos Im full of nonsense.  :evil:

Elaborate is also an option. But to ask some to expand on something is also acceptable I would say. Saying "expand pls" is just a little quicker than asking someone if they wish to elaborate. Plus that would also leave you open to them saying "no".

Well in South Africa we have two main cars on our roads. The CitiGolf (MK1 lookalike) and the polo. BEing almost the cheapest cars around the market is huge and the certain race I am talking about (colourds cough cough, serioucly im not a racist) have access to such a huge variety of parts over here that they turn those cars into seriously fast vehicles.

An example:

You buy a 2 litre polo here. Whish is the highest spec and they basically keep the car stock. But change everything under the hood. So you got a standard looking polo unlike the one Hurdy posted that pushes the same amount if not more power than the polo that was posted.

Basically. Power to weight etc.... The polo is gonna be faster then you.

You understand now? I just reread my last post and realised how unreadable it was.

Very valid point there northerner!! Can I just also ask why exactly you had your engine changed?? An more to the point how much did it cost? was it under warranty??? Did you consider getting the ED30 engine and setup??

HA HA

They dont have the engines changed. Parts in South Africa are extremely cheap. I bought coloured into the story cos they have all the connections. They know the right people etc.

So its not really about wealth. But more about who can get what for what price. I dont modify cars. So I would not know.

Is everyone on the same page Im on? Or should I just shut up? :embarassed:
