ma new polo 1.4

just bort a polo1.4 ne1 no how i can make it faster without spending to much money????
ye its an 8v

my m8s tell me k+n and de cat but will it make much of a diference

not really much u can do mate! just strip yr interior out! is it a 8v?

how much is not much money?? you could probably get a high lift cam for under 200 bucks easy, not sure how much of a hp gain youd get though. or theres a company called bogg brothers that'll do you a bike carb conversion for about 600 notes, could do it cheaper yourself if you can whip up a manifold and re-jet the carbs to suit your engine. seen sets of R1 carbs goin for like 40 squids on theivebay! depends how much hassle you can be arsed with. might just be easier to drop a bigger lump in!!!

but hey, if your goin sooooooooooooo fast, people dont get to see how cooool your car is! if it was me, i'd spend my pennies on looks. (i.e.- slammed, smoothed and some big dished rims. mmmmmm, nice!)

get coilovers thats wots on my valver!

ya man, coilies is defo the way to go!

coilies!!!!!!!!

if i get collies will i get hassle wif ma 16s on it?????????????
and will it handle better

get 14's with coilies. 16's are too big in my opinion.

but you just wind them up and down as you like so you wouldnt have a problem aslong as you get the perfect hight.

cymrupolo got 16" bbs rx on his polo gti and hes running KW Variant 1 coilovers - 70mm all round but its going lower cos am going to do it next week for him!!!
i had trouble with 14" on my motor and that was with a set up of 60mm on front and 70mm on rear! on a suspension kit not coillies

should handle a lot better. any coilover kit should have harder shocks than your standard set up. and like thebreadmaker, i'd probably go with smaller rims too, really fat ones!!!! depends what flicks your switch mate

All depends on the width of the wheel and size of the tyre really. My wheels are 7j and my tyres are 195/40/16 and as was mentioned above I'm lowered 70mm (possibly about 75-80mm at the front now) and only have very minor troubles, i.e front wheels will hit the plastic arch lining if I got over a bump too fast, and obviously you have to keep an eye out for speed bumps etc.

can i have m8s in da back do dats wotam worried bout

I've been able to get 2 in the back without any problems, not tried 3 'cos I don't really want a full car anyway.

chrz 4 da advice peoples

mk1 golf ftw lol
no get collies and get some nice wide deeeeeeeeeeeeeep dish alloys and keep it clean and you are on to a winner
