  5. update we had the rollign road day here are the results top graph is from last year - 84bhp at wheels bottom one is from saturday border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />
  6. yeah the induction kit will fit 100% sure the TB is about the same size give or take a few mm
  7. to get hold of alan it might be best to om him or email him as he don't come on here often
  8. quick update i have got the chip fitted to the car, had a wee problem with it when i first fitted it coz the chip sat too low and the car didn't start but this was solved after i spoke to alan anyway after having a quick spin in the car i can feel some difference in the car u can't expect a simple chip to give you loads more power but i have noticed that the car picks up faster and also is easier to drive so basically for £150 i reckon its well worth it it will be on the rollers this saturday so hopefully we will see some difference in the power and more importantly the torque figure
  9. just a wee update alan has now got the code for the chip i will have it on saturday and i will fit it on the same day then it will be going on the rollers the saturday after heres a link to the info http://www.porka.net/modules.php?name=Foru...iewtopic&t=1285
  10. i use the scissor jack and the wack a trolley under on the lip on the sill
  11. that tray is a right hassle when you drop stuff down there i have dropped sooooo much stuff down there and everytime its something important so i end up having to jack the car up which in itself takes 30mins getting the damn car on planks of wood then i take the tray off held on by a few 10mm or 13mm plastic nuts once thats off all the bits you have dropped bits back!
  12. i am not expecting more power from a chip like tigz said the driveability of the car should be improved my car has a big dip in the torque curve at about 3600rpm or something and i would be happy enough if the chip decreased this big dip we will see if it does make any difference in 2weeks time
  13. i have heard that you need to grind off 2mm from the G60 carriers to make them align up for the discs dunno how true this is but this is what i have heard
  14. ah the phases 1 jobbies they do look very nice but as you say they are bloody rare some were on ebay a while back and went for stupid money
  15. on the webiste they say that the discs are 280mm x 22mm, so i dunno if the kit comes with all the carriers etc needed for the bigger discs but i don't see why the polo gti brakes won't fit on the 1.4 16v brakes.
  16. i hated them when i first got the polo but they started to grow on me all depends on what car they are on me likes
  17. i reckon you are in luck my mate has written off his mk4 polo with a gti in it
  18. new piccies no new mods :oops: border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" /> border="0" class="linked-image" />
  19. yeah tigz for a 280mm conversion all you need is 280mm carriers and the discs and pads the 1.4 16v engined cars have the same brakes set up as the gti models all 256mm'ers
  20. QUOTE(Scottish_Sport_16V)Are the sport and Gti breaks not the same?they are they both use 256mm discs like the polo gti and the polo 1.4 16v the gti ones might be a bit thicker but i don't see a problem with gti using sport discs because the piston just makes up the extra gap from the thinner discs
  21. nooooooooooooooooo stay away from EBC discs they are cack i had a set and they warped in no time i have got a couple of mates who have had the same problem with EBC discs go for some pagid discs and pads i have heard that zimmerman are pretty good as well

    panel filters

    not being a fool here but i reckon most you will think i am but i reckon performance panel filters are a waste of money i have got a pipercross one in the shed,it didn't make any difference in sound when fitted and when tested on a rolling road at uni (we have a rolling road in the lab) it didn't give any increase in power what so ever compared to a standard paper filter..........
  23. paddy you getting 90bhp @ the wheels don't suprise me 2 yrs ago we had a rolling road shoot out at another rolling road place and my car was putting out 96bhp at the wheels!!!!!!!!!! and my girlfriends was putting out 103bhp @ the wheels!!!!!!!!!!!! insane so it just shows you that the vw engines give more power than they state and also all rolling roads vary ALOT!! have a look at the following link for the bhp table http://www.`polo-gt`.co.uk/events/rrday03.html
  24. all i have is a full system janspeed exhaust no engine mods the red is the power @ wheels green is power @ fly blue is the torque my girlfriend has the same polo with a supersprint exhaust and she got 122bhp at the fly beaten by me missus by 1bhp!
