motorsmurf Posted September 1, 2022 Report Share Posted September 1, 2022 Hi, Im new here. My name is Joris and living close to Amsterdam. Im driving a Seat Arosa 1997 with a 1.6 8v polo engine... Im using my car as a daily and sometimes im going over to Zandvoort to play with on the circuit.... I have prepared it completely for it. It might be not quick but the funfactor is extremely high 😁😁😁 I have bought the car in 2019 for peanuts... It was close a wreck 🤣 Stripped complete down. Build in a rollcage, lowered, changed out the engine (suddenly it was using 1ltr oil every 400km), installed a new exhaust (2inch with a remus muffler and sport kat). Although the abuse on the circuit its a reliable car. See some action on the TT circuit in Assen Regards Joris 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ObjectiveAway Posted September 3, 2022 Report Share Posted September 3, 2022 Welcome! Great story! I can clearly see Your Arosa have suffered but is in good shape. And I wondered how was that possibe to have 1.6 engine in Arosa, and this explains everything. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
motorsmurf Posted September 12, 2022 Author Report Share Posted September 12, 2022 Yeah the shape is not the best but it does her job perfect.... Sometimes with a little hick up. I have changed out the gearbox 3 weeks ago. I took only the wrong gearbox. The one i have now is for a 1.0ltr engine. Which is perfect for a sprint but highway use is not so nice.

Also, if you managed to use 1.6engine might be you can install larger flywheel and more durable gearbox? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
