nothing at the moment i was building this......

it was a 106 rallye, and i put a hell of alot of work into it, widened track, full custom roll cage, oh yeah and a mi-16 engine basically in the bulkhead, lots of customising of the chassis legs and bulkhead was needed so it sat right, i even chopped out the rear floor and made it lower so the fuel tank could sit in the inside

was hopeing to be around the 270bhp mark with a full engine rebuild +boring ect on throttle bodies and in a shell that would weigh around 800kilos, and was wanting nitrous aswel, but them dreams are now gone :( lol

but due to having a mrs and spending most my spare time on the scirocco and training (running) i had to sell it a few months ago, now i got the feeling it wont be finished propperly :(

theres too much spec and info to post about that car, but i will miss it, allthough i will make another project one day :clap:

And what about the rest of the 1000 registered memebers of this forum? Only 5 answers so far. :(

Don't be shy... :shrug:


Maybe I intimidated some of you? That wasn't the purpose. I just love to see what kind of interest and cars/vehicles you own/have? :nod:

cheers Evil Derboy, the run out GTI Pirelli has turned out to be a bit rarer than we anticipated, with under 250 in UK :D

This is my other car, its a Mini Classic Cooper Sport 500, meaning ots one of the last 500 original minis ever built. Untill my Scirocco arives this is the only other car ive had from new.

Its a weekend blaster and is a bit of a sleeper. Its running a supercharger of the BMW cooper s so it can hold its own against a lot of things.

I would never sell it and have spent 1000s of hours building this car which is now just about perfect to how i want it. I just hope the roc can be anywhere near the same amount of fun.

My grandad car..........

Its fantastic for what it cost, bought it off a friend of the family who had it from new, so I know the total hisory.

Like your Saab's MK3Mike got a soft spot for Saab myself, just wish they would make proper cars again. Imagin a Scirocco rival Saab (with no GM input) :yes: :yes:

Heres my weekender/track day car:

It has had a full S2 ABY conversion with the addition of RS2 EM, Turbo and Intercooler, Custom IM and MTM Re-Map. 340BHP and 380Lb/Ft makes for a very nice and useable drive.

I just got myself an old Polo Mk2.... It will be the winter project this winter. I found one with only 2 owners. Last one has had it since -88. It has absolutely NO rust on it and the idea of the project is to lower it to the ground. Remove all lists on the side. Paint the plastic wheel arches white as the car and have some wide 15" germanstyle wheels on it.. Here's a pic of it right now.

Heres one just a tad photoshopped...

After I'm satisfied with the stance and "looks" of it I'm moving on the change the engine. The plan right now is a CBR1100XX Blackbird engine with 167bhp and keeping it fwd. Strip the interior and put a cage in it with two racing seats. Having all the bushings etc changed for better ones and upgrading the brakes..

What do u guys think? ;)

yeah, sounds good. I've always loved Mk2 polos and it will be a good fun toy when it's done!
