We rebuilt the engine with new valve seals, piston rings, and conrod bearings. The paint and acrylic windows are in really bad shape. May need a repaint.

mk2 Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Acrylic plastic is easy to revive. But you do need to flat it back with 600 grit (wet) paper. Then clearcoat with a very thin (and even, if you want it to be optically perfect) coating of 2k lacquer. Same for headlight lenses. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tttttada Posted February 20, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Yeah I tried but the hardcoat was a biotch to remove, so I just purchased new ones 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LR5V Posted February 20, 2019 Report Share Posted February 20, 2019 Great to see an update - Why is it on tow? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tttttada Posted February 22, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2019 It was sitting there for 4 years so the fuel was bad. And the fuel pump was shot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Loop Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 Good to see this is still alive (well, sort of ). I remember following the build thread back in the day... Be sure to post updates 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tttttada Posted February 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 So did a shakedown, and with the car revving to 8,000 rpm, I really need shorter gears. Anyone know if there's any matching gears or a final gear with a 4.5+ ratio? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 24, 2019 Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 There's a while range of 02t boxes now in many cars so there's lots more options than there was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tttttada Posted February 24, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 24, 2019 So the 02T gears can be used on a GVX box? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aditza579 Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 (edited) So all Lupo GTI 6 speed gearboxes (GVX, FUT and so on) are based on the bigger Polo 02T gearbox. The maine case, diff and gear design are the same as in a 5 speed 02T. 02T is the name of the family of the gearboxes and the three letter code, is what differentiate these gearboxes (in term of ratios and stuff). The main difference is fifth and sixth gear and the back case. So, 02T and 02U are almost the same. For you to belive me, i have installed in my 9N Polo a 6 speed FUT from a 2003 GTI, and is 100% plug and play. I've studied and the GTI gearboxes have the best gearing of all these 6 speed boxes, you only need a shorter ration final drive. I'm not sure about this info and it has to be checked and see if it fits, but the 1.2 6v 9N has a 02T with a 4.4 or 4.5:1 final drive, as opposed to our 4.19:1 ratios. Don't search for 12v gearbox, because that also has 4.19:1 ratios. Good luck! Edited February 28, 2019 by Aditza579 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone know if there's any matching gears or a final gear with a 4.5+ ratio? Quaife do a gear kit I believe. Edit: Not for the 02T, but other variations of the 02 box. Not sure if these would fit. Also no CWP listed so you'd be stuck with the standard FD. https://shop.quaife.co.uk/quaife-vag-6-speed-synchromesh-gearkit Edited February 27, 2019 by cj1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Posted February 27, 2019 Report Share Posted February 27, 2019 I had a third gear replaced by a vag monkey and we used parts from the Scirocco range of 02t boxes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
