ah well, as you can see, fits really well and the doors do indeed shut, with no modifications to them what so ever
-
Maybe my mind is getting the better of me as some years since I built it
hower with the cage no worse than any another caged car, same width as a 6n2 polo as the omp cage doesn’t intrude massively in the cabin
-
Unfortunately not, thanks for the interest but it needs to go so I can get rid of my workshop
and your more than welcome to transport it yourself, but the sale price doesn’t cover any delivery
cheers

I’m 99% sure it’s from a 5 speed GTI, coupled with sport lower arms and ball joints therefore not extended the track no problems mounting up
and yes, for 825, and you get loads of spares too
-
I should add 79k, absolutely no rust, as you may have guessed i'm super picky
only pics I have on my phone from the build, I will add more, but safe to say it does have a brand new 315mm OMP wheel and a front bumper

Welcome to the auction of my 1999 Lupo 1.4 16v AHW engine sprint car.
This was a car in the family from 2006 and was taken off the road in 2009 due to a diff bearing fault, as part of this I went a little bit over the top as it was replaced by other vehicle and the result is what you can see in the spec and pictures, with the aim being to print the car but keep it comfortable enough for a nurburgring trip.
This was built with a high degree of attention to detail, with many thousands spent, and hopefully from the pictures your gather apart from the shell most of the components are all brand new. Every standard nut or bolt has been replaced either by the correct item from VW where they are load bearing, or if not a stainless Allen fixing, and all bolt on brackets, sub frames, lower arms etc etc have been zinc primed and powder coated.
The car went into storage a few years back whilst I finished my house, and I’d like to move this on to let someone enjoy it.
and In short a weekends work and you will have a read to go sprint car in the sub 1400cc category or a prime candidate for a 1.8t conversion or similar. As you can imagine from being in storage the car has no MOT, but given all the new components I genuinely can’t see why it wouldn’t fly through should you wish.
With the car will also come a Polo AFH inlet manifold and throttle body, which are incredibly rare and will up the power when combined with a suitable remap, as well as a spare subframe and the original hubs etc etc

sorry i should have said i know what it does, i just want to know about removing it, the only issue i can see is the breather which to my knowledge runs to the fillter keck not beeing blocked so the tank doesnt pressurise ?
-
any adverse effects from doing it ? looking to free up some space in my engine bay, and also just genrally tidy bits up, read a few people have done it by just wondering exactley what have the blocked, and any issues its caused ?
cheers

-
either that or just some detailed pics of the fuse box in the engine bay mate
-
im guessing its actully got a unique mount, and a juction box as well then ? etka shows nothing
-
basically looking to relocate my battery as per the GTI, but very difficult just looking at etka, so wondered if a local GTI owner wouldnt mind be grabbing a look
im in dartford/maidstone so anywhere around those if anyone fancies doing me a favour -
Potentially looking at relocating the battery in my track car, but has anyone got a picture of the fusebox in the GTI engine bay, as wondering how it differs to the standard set up where the fan fusebox etc is on top of the battery
-
still looking
-
To put the battery in the boot, just like a Gti!
Includes the cable, brackets/platforms and smaller battery.

It'd be a daft thing to do in all fairness.
It's a massive backwards step in technology, offering less power than an AVY, worse fuel economy, less reliability etc.
What you wanna look into is dropping a C20LET into your corsa, or if thats too expensive, then a C20XE with an SBD manifold and some cheap reground cams!
Had a C20XE in it, and a 136BHP SBD 1.4 16v to, and 2 1.6 16vs, but this isnt about that car
75hp from a GT engine. So a good 25hp up on a 1 litre. Easy to wire and easy to upgrade. 1.4 Bottom end, schrick cam, chip and a four branch should see 90hp. Plus loads cheaper than a 16v. Will fit on 1.4 mounts as well.
Personally I'm feeling the 1.6 8v AEE engine for my Arosa. Cheap to get a whole donor, Torquey and tuning bits available from Germany, plus different to the Norm.
its the mounts that are concerning me, the rest as you have described was exactley my thinking too
-
Just looking at allturnatives to the AFH option, as it in theory involves less wiring, and no immob issues etc too
i know people have done AFH into a mk2/3 polo, but what about the other way round ?
