couldnt leave it alone, mk2 polo runaround gets modded !!

sweet post. Inspires me to go out and have a play!

 

Excellent work!

 

Wow thats a lot of work, old skool polos are quality, I want mine back now I've seen this thread!

 

Good work !
Does it still start ok from cold with the hedgehog removed ?

 

yeah fine so far. it obviously serves a purpose, but my rationale is that allot of manufacturers do not fit them, so how do they cope ?

for instance, 80's vauxhall nova/astra/cavalier/carlton all used a pierburg 2E3, none of which had inlet heaters.

 

Sounds cool, apparantly the polo GT cam is a winner aswell

I will be doing a similar thing with my 1600 very soon, hopefully college will let me use their rollers to gauge the results

 

quick question
is the ports on the head the same size as the GK inlet?

 

yes, as shown on page one with the manfifold gasket used as a template.

 

Well done dude! That must be a nippy little polo now! Hehe! love it!

Gurds

 

wow

nice to see a few basic mods cn be done by somebody with some decent spanner skills and all with VW bits! OEM+ rules! do you know where a manifold can be bought for a GF to fir twin carbs?

 

Nice mate I cant get enough of mk2/3 polos they are great little cars

 

How do you say inlet manifold in german? lol

 

Tell me, is there a major difference in this to the GK inlet manifold?

 

sorry for the triple post, its a polo mk3 manifold vw part number 030129711P for a 1.4 engine.

 

UP ! for a hero of a thread !

any news ? ?

 

top read !

 

Good effort, nice results. Excellent Thread

 

top work.. reminds me of my old mk2 polo, back in the day when I could barely afford to put fuel in it, yet alone mod it..

Keep it up!

 

couldnt say for sure, but the ports looks smaller (the mk3 ones) by eye.

could try the polo club...

Great thread and great car, I may have to dig out my polo and do something to her after seeing this also given me a few things to think about when I finally get round to tweaking my little 1300 golf, great stuff
