project go slow

Post by craig_jdm » Sun Aug 11, 2013 6:56 pm

So after a deal with my brother i am now doing a Vag project and i picked this 6n2 1.4 16v polo up (off him) for 200 pound with MOT and tax till feb next year so i cant complain about the price what i can complain about however are the engine (runs sweet but sooo slow) the brakes and the hella bodyroll i have a few plans but il just see how it turns out here are a few pics

Sweet deal. I've just got a 6n 1.0l, dam it's slow ha

How's the gearbox on yours? Reading about it the 1.4 seems to suffer the most with bearings.
236bhp and 170ft/lb stock :whistle:

That is a wee bargain. These would normally fetch around £1k.

I had a Gti 6n2. Was alright actually, but even that was slow for having 125bhp. Wouldn't even class is as nippy.

Damn, I could do with a cheap run around for that price!!

With the engine swap are you going to stick with VAG or go with something else?
