Little new newbie.

Hi ya peeps,  8)

I was given this website from a lovely person on clubgti who told me come over here and sign up.

I used to own a mk2 polo g40 track car, which i decided to sell up and get some bigger and beater and i come across a mk1 golf cabby (clipper kit one)  and we feel in love (me and the car)  

Here is my old car (some of you might know it)



I sold her to make way for this new toy



Here are new wheels, and a few extra bits which will be fitted, once she is home from her repairs, she also has clear crossed lamps, smoked fromt indicators.

hello there.

not often we get a picture of the owner, but thanks. always nice to put a face to a name.

Like the look of your old car, almost like a squat mk1.

Welcome to the club!  

well i thought it always good to put a face to the name, so at shows you all would know who i am.

And i miss my mk2 polo already, at least she is in pvw mag this month at the polo shot out 8)

And thank you for the welcome, and ive just joined up as a paid member

Hello miss mental and welcome.  I paid for my membership by my bf's c.card should be ok long as you let dubgrrl on here it's for you and your forum user name.

Love those arches on the polo.  I've got an '87 cabby (1.8 carb) but she's sick at the mo.

Enjoy    

i love carbs, but this one is k-jet i have no idea about any of that so its book and forum reading up time for me.

Ill pm dubgirl and let her know what i did then.

hiya, nice polo, nice cab!
k jets rock, push out a bit more than the carbs, about 112bhp

welcome and nice 1

ohhhh phat car .

dig those rims sweet as fcuk

i really like the colour clean and simple .

Welcome to the club im Smiffie (she) got a mental mk1 cab in purple project in the running always great to
see another bird with a great taste in cars !!

is the leather interior the original limited edition ?

Oh them seats, im not to sure if they are but there going in the bin, nasty as hell.

Im having standard gti seats back in there as i want it all standard seats wise on the instead after my polo.

Im planning on painting her blue velvet in summer of next year, as there is no point doing it now as it coming close to winter.

the colour of the golf is ok, im not to keen on it, but it was cheap to pick up so i thought it was bargin why not and i feel in love with it like i said.

nice , blue velvet with those rims defo like the sound of that
with a deep gloss finish … yummy
keep the pictures coming so we can see the progress .
does it have heavy engine mods or standard gti?
lol id have kept the hard top for the winter love the seats in that .

She is running standard gti while i get my last years no calims, and i have fallen in love the idea of 20vt  8O

But im gonna make use of the gti engine for a while, ill know ill get board of it quick because i was used to my little polo power, but ill live.

keep the revs over 4k :wink:  :wink:

I guess thats were the power is on them gti?

Do you guys know of any cheap engine mods that i could do to her for a little extra power?

move your air feed to a colder bit mines just behind the pass side head light,
  change to a k&n type air filter, drill your air box, g-dub style. then chk your mixture, you might need to richen it slightly.

dont use 95 ron fuel, use 97 AND buy an octane boosting additive, I personally dont rate redex, try millers vsp
that engine wasnt designed for 95ron was for 98+ give it what it needs

to be honest, i get best performance after an oil change, mine was sat for a few years so maybe thats why i notice it, ive changed it 3 times in the last 5k and gonna do it again nxt week

all the above ?50 worth 3/5 bhp imho

Lol well k&n air filter all sorted, and i might run it on the tesco 99ron nice and cheap and does the job.

When she gets home to me, she gets a new oil change again, as i will use semi systhic (sp) oil, gearbox oil change.

And ill drilll the worm thing its called, if im right, and when you say more cold air feed, can you explain a little more?

Is it me, but all the gears in the cabby seem to be to the left?

Yep and 1/2 is sticky! no probs with the power tho mine done 110 sunday WITH the top down, quite impressive for a 20yo.

Hello and Welcome Ladyfriend. :mrgreen:

Thank you for the welcome, im finally getting my baby this weekend on saturday.


Then im off to bolton, woohoo so some nice hood day, wind in my hair driving at last.

110 8O

what down the callow  

Yeah mine goes better with roof down, but only had 98 then the rattles get a bit scary.  :mrgreen:

my top down 110
top up  117


on my mates private airfield of course
 

i was limited to 120 with the mk2 polo as a i have a close ratio box so i got there quick but couldnt go any faster.

But you dont need to as its on track so 120 mph was more then enough.
