Decked Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 See what you guys think of this.... 1.8 turbo S3 lump 0-60 in 5.5 Quarter mile in 14 seconds and top whack 160mph Did have some gearbox problems but it's running around 270-275 bhp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si_GTi Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Cooooool! Where'd you dig that one up from?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decked Posted October 24, 2005 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 It's my mates, it's been in for ages getting sorted. Extremely fast but I haven't raced him yet. Waiting for my supercharger to be fitted to prevent embarrassment if you know what I mean (just to make sure). I'll try and take some more pics when I can. Unfortunately the brakes haven't been fitted yet so it's a bit dangerous at the moment, the gearbox is getting done at the moment and it’s going to have the brakes fitted so it should be back on the road again soon. Quite a few of his mates run the same setup with SE badges on the back so be careful!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Si_GTi Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 I'll look out for them when I'm next down your way heh heh. I can imagine that an S3 lump running with standard discs is quite an experience, aye! Street sleepers rock though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ritey Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Has it got quattro And a very good sleeper, not even GTi'd, impressive More pics please ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N3WOB Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Sounds terrifying even with considerable suspension, chassis, steering & brake mods but more shots please Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
activa Posted October 24, 2005 Report Share Posted October 24, 2005 Looks cool,that's a very popular conversion these days. There's a guy round these parts that's got an S3 engine in a MK2 Golf WITH the 4WD system,modded to about 400bhp or something silly. To say it's quick is an understatement!

[/ QUOTE ] No quattro so it does light up the front end, i'm sure in the wet it'll be an animal and i'll grab some more pics next time i'm at his place. As i said it's off getting the gearbox sorted and brakes installed so when it's back i'll get some more pics and post them up here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R32North Posted October 25, 2005 Report Share Posted October 25, 2005 A guy in Grangemouth / Bo'ness used to run a 2.9 VR6 Polo a few years back. Bit of a beast to drive apparently! 1.8T Polo sounds like a whole lot of fun tho! Def want to see more pics! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glovepup Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Ok, this is my brothers car. When it comes to the net he is useless. I can see that decked has given you one pic. The car is back, needs to be gentle with it at first. The car was in performance vw, you may of seen it. The breaks have been uprated since, and they have even bored it out to a 1.9 for good measure. Personally I think he will kill himself - hehe Will post some pics today hopefully.....so keep ya eyes peeled Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Decked Posted February 20, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 Nice, hurry up with the pics!!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Glovepup Posted February 20, 2006 Report Share Posted February 20, 2006 I can't wait until we pitch it against your beast decked, it will be interesting to see the outcome. As you said make sure it's a wet day Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
