Polo - Land

Now back in the garage for a few mods before Santa Pod/Trackdays this summer. Remote oil filter/thermostat going on, some tidying up of wiring, and a pukka suspension setup at Center of Gravity. Oh and the gas...

Polo in its new house:



And on the scales:



776kg full fluids (washer, methanol, coolant, oil) half a tank of petrol

Split with driver in: 63% Front / 37% Rear - 53% Right / 46% Left

All in I'm fairly chuffed with that, lots of cage & turbo/intercooler over stock, and still have a full sized battery & dash.

Cheers

You're so crazy!

sorry I am belge good job

Thanks for this update Peter!
I like your car!! Very good race car project.

And what kind of turbo you have? For about how much hp/tq?

Turbo is a GT2554R running 20psi, power is ~ 230bhp.

Nitrous going back on this week

Bienvenu à toi et vraiment un super projet

Sinon, j'ai aperçu une polo bleu (est ce que tu as sa référence s'il te plait)

Fun^^ I've never tested Nitrous...

I've a brand new gt2560r on my dinner room lol! Waiting an engine to fit!!

Nice work!

Do you have a link to the headlight covers please?

I'm looking for a while! Thanks.

This would be a great detail Dex ' !

Great work and what determination ! This is impressive !
Good luck !

Dream thread

Update time, last few weeks have been spent putting the nitrous back on, having the suspension alignment done, and then a trip to Santa Pod to shake everything down.

First up was to get everything pointing in the right direction, I'll do a full review of this later, as I've not driven the car on track yet:





Rear axle mounts modified, shim spacers on the sub axles to adjust camber and toe, lots more measurements taken along the way, full review after my next trackday. Thanks to Chris at CofG for his efforts, I'll no doubt sing his praises at a later date

Gas bits (bottle heater):



Keeps a constant pressure by heating the bottle, maintains ~950psi



NA vs Boost:



Santa Pod time, boost wound down to 20psi but was pinking, so backed out of each run (only managed 3) best 13.1 @ 109mph, showing power is there, but need to sort the pinking issue before next outing, I suspect aquamist isn't working.

Pics, ronald is my mates, awesome little toy!









If I can sort this issue out, I'm hoping to get some runs in on Sunday at VW Action, should be quieter then, although it's twice the cost.

Cheers
