that is niceeee, never seen one of these on the road, looks so much better than the MK6 Golf GTI imo :smiley:
-
Nice car Blade, sweet :happy2:
-
Really liking that got a really mean look! Amazing in black to! :happy2:
-
Very nice mate :happy2: im liking these polo's

Just enjoying the new car for now, but it will be going South sometime soon :happy2:
-
Very nice. :smiley:
-
Excellent! I love these! :happy2:
-
What plans have you got for it Ryan...who bought your K1
-
Awesome looking car! Needs to be dropped a little with spacers ;)
Keep seeing the polo advert with the woman dancing and thinking the polo is a real looker now.
-
Look forward to seeing this in the matel soon, Ryan :happy2:
-
test drove this and is very impressive!
-
I love these new Polo GTI's, I saw a brand new CW one on the back of a transporter being delivered at my local dealers! :drool: The wheels looked massive on it too! :love:
-
looks nice, ive heard these are surpisingly big inside too
you got any pics of the interior??
looks well from the outside i must admit
-
Liking the look of that! In the best colour too! :wink:
-
Stunning!
The girlfriends next car i hope :smiley:
-
Im guessing VW have now fixed the panel fit and finish problem they had with the polos with the first of the new model? I hope they have at last started to paint the gap and panel edges at the bottom of the a-pillar in body colour too.
-
i agree they look better front end than a mk6 :laugh: amazing how big they are now prob the size mk4 golf :grin: 180 horses as well....nice
-
:driver:]
Looks awesome, saw one on the road today, does look much better then the Current Mk 6 GTi
-
That's a hot little motor Blade :congrats:
Great colour, good styling and presence for a smaller car. Saying that, doesn't look much smaller than a Mk5 GTI :wink:
-
i like that :happy2:
-

Love these, they go so well with REVO on the high octane map.
Jelous :drool:
-
Nice car Ryan and i'm sure it will be a little rocket soon enough (especially with that kerb weight :wink: ).. Interior is mint too, but when will VW sort themselves out and add a intigrated bluetooth kit in stead of these retro fitted ones??? :fighting: Just baffles me!
Sorry if I have already missed it, but why the sudden change from the beast?
-

....I was about to say exactly the same. The one I saw was parked and so I had a good look at it. The new front style is far better complemented by the more 'muscular' sides of the new Polo. I didn't like the body styling of the previous Polo. I'm a Lupo fan at heart.
-
Now, a new style Lupo GTi with the 1.4TSI would be ace :evilgrin:

You can get an integrated bluetooth kit if you spec it at point of order. Unfortunatley i didn,t have time to factory order as i needed a new motor sharpish after the K1 sold. In answer to that question...........just fancied a new project.
-
nice, i'd consider downsizing but while they put the DSG box in the Fabia,Polo and Ibiza i'd never consider one.
-
Bloody 'ell, that 0-62 time is impressive, quicker than a standard mk5 golf gti that, I'm sure that could easily ruffle a few feathers amongst the bigger cars out on the highway! And that fuel economy figure makes me hugely jealous!! Small displacement, high boost definitely seems like the way to go folks! (All IMHO)
-
I'd look at that, I liked the Ibiza Cupra/Bocanegra but this looks better, unfortunately a bit overpriced IMO (mind you, could say that about all VW's).
No MFSW! When will VW learn it should be standard equipment!
-
Lovely car and impressive engine by the looks of it!! :happy2:
-
THe 0-62 isn't faster than a standard DSG equipped car, it is exactly the same mind :laugh: I went and had a look at the Bocanegra when that came out and although the external styling was nice, I sat in the cabin and was incredibly dissapointed. The polo looks like they have carried over more of the materials from the Golf so a much better place to be I guess thats where the extra couple of grand goes.
As for the multi-function steering wheel, its not even an option as far as I know the controls are all on a stalk by the side, which was one of the bigger dissapointments. The engine and sound track are pretty impressive though and I would mind one of the 7spd dry clutch DSG's :driver:
-
Now that looks awesome!! :happy2:
When it is time to change that will definately be on the cards! :xmaspresent:

A multi-function steering wheel can be specified as an option :happy2:
-
Nice! Thats an improvement over the SEAT as well :drinking:
-
Just configured one online and it came to a whooping £22,549!
But still one hell of a car!
-
Imagine one with a little haldex system in :driver: Cant imagine it will be long before Audi squeeze one into the A1, since they always feel the need for a quattro model, sorry Quattro :wink:
-
Audi have said they are doing a quattro a1 (RS1) and vw are doing a polo R.
I have been in the skoda version too the Fabia VRS, and its a little disappointing inside but 2k cheaper than the polo.
i think people are getting 230bhp out of these quite easily too!

Hmm nice, just specced up a polo too and mine was 22k with near ever option, including rear wing which is extra even on the GTI!! :surprised:
-
^^^^
£22k for a Polo GTI should make people realise that £30k for a Golf R or £40k for an Audi RS3 isn't so bad. It's what cars cost nowadays.
My fully loaded Mk5 Golf GTI cost £25k five years ago.
-
22k for a polo :signLOL: WTF its a polo and thats a lot of ££££ for a polo
-
And they want £800 for and RNS310, RNS510 isn't an option!! But youd want a sharkfin aerial and the wiring for nav, but you wouldnt pay £600 for the privilege (difference between RNS310 and RCD510). ANy which way a very nice car and I look forward to seeing what happens with it once you finish enjoying it in standard fettle :popcornsoda:
-
That is one very nice looking car , I hope you enjoy it .

I did not realise you paid that much back then. :surprised: I got a basic one for 18K around the same time and the mk6 with a few options for less than 22K last year. I was disappointed in the standard equipment spec myself of the polo GTI when i looked it up. When i looked at polos earlier this year at the dealers the panel fit was abysmal, The paint finish and lack of body colour at the wing to a-pillar was shocking too so it put me right off the polo.

....DSG, Xenons, sunroof, 5-door, were what loaded the basic price - All options, or their equivalent, which I'd want on any car I bought.
Then I went on to spend zillions on aftermarket modifications! I won't get a penny back but do I care? Too much joy from the car to care about what's been spent.

Got the rear 3 windows tinted.

Very nice Ryan are the alloys going to be on at the r/r meet
-
Looks mega mate. Candy white one in my local dealer keeps grabbing my attention! :fighting:
-
very nice motor mate, pics of the new wheels asap please :happy2:
-
.
Looking extremely good and very individual. It is begging to be lowered though, especially when those new alloys are on.
-
Bloody nice motor but can't help wondering when vw are gonna design some new alloys for the gti?
Can fully understand why you've bought another set.
The other polos have alloy options but not the range topper?
How long has that wheel design been around now!!??

....The Monza design is individual to the GTI and a very strong and elegant design. It has also become an iconic distinguishing feature.
I have nothing against the Pescara but it's extremely similar to many of the other BBS designs that have been kicking around for years :P
The Ed30 should be on black Monza's like originally in Germany. VW missed a trick there.
-
I hear what you're saying but why not give customers an alternative option?
-
Very nice Ryan are the alloys going to be on at the r/r meet
Wheels not going on till the weather picks up.

Wheels not going on till the weather picks up.
....Which might not be until March. February can have some nasty surprises like last year did.
-
I really like that a lot!
Would Monza 2's - the 18" wheels fit the car? Genuine not replica?
Does it have paddles with the DSG as well or not?
Bet thats a lot of fun to drive with that power!
-
nice car i looked at these but the price put me off.
should look moody with those wheels on (pics)

its the same stud pattern so i see no reason why not!
and you do get paddles with your 7 speed dsg box yes :happy2:

The Polo is 5x100...

Correct D :happy2:

How you getting on with the brakes? You looking at any handling mods yet? Im thinking of ordering the whiteline 23mm adjustable rear bar now, then get them to fit it the day i pick the car up
-

thats definitely better inside than the Fabia vRS and cupra.
-
I know that the mk5 Ibiza uses the same aftermarket rear ARB as the mk4 Ibiza, therefore I would thing that the Polo & Fabia vRS will be the same.
I has a adjustable Whiteline rear ARB on my mk4 and rated it highly. You can pick them up for circa £150..
-
What side discs does it wome with, Ry?
-
What side discs does it wome with, Ry?
288mm on the front iirc and teeny weeny solids on the rear, the MK4 platform upgrade of 312mm front and 256mm vented rears slips on a treat! :happy2:
I nearly papped myself on my recent Polo GTi demo drive when i hit the brakes at speed! must do mod imo :scared:
-
Brakes are quite frankly crap, at least compared to my K1,s brakes. I have a cunning plan in the pipeline to get it sorted though.
-
288mm discs on a car with 180bhp out of the factory is a joke....
VW should of at least fitted the 312 single piston setup.
-
yes but we all know GTI have crap brakes
-

I had the 288's on my A3 140PD running Bluefin and TB Milltek, 190Bhp on the rollers and about 400KG more than a Polo GTi, now that was scary! :scared:
-
First thing i said to the missus during my test drive with the fabia vRS was, brakes need changing, needs a Rear ARB to kerb the roll a little, and it felt a bit gutless in the midrange
She said why buy it, but i think they have potential
-
@ Beddie, you still usin the 1144's, i struggled to get on with them and they didn't look to great after 60 laps of Anglesey, lookin for somethin else to try
-
im going for pagids next time

im going for pagids next time
The pagid Rs4-2? They are over 200 quid when i look before christmas! :scared:

Yeah still using them gaz, i seem to get on with them ok tbh but haven't as yet done any trackdays with them, done 2 trips to the 'Ring with them and i don't hang about so got them pretty toasty and they coped great, saying that the ring if done correctly isn't too bad on brakes as the recovery time between serious braking is quite long compared to a trackday
-
HOw are you getting on with he R32 brake conversion. Few questions for you. what diameter/thickness are the discs, how many pistons do the calipers have, and what is the pad availability like on these?
Whats you r planned list of modifications then?

Single piston 54mm i think... 345mm x 30mm disc!

thats the mk2 R32. Its the Mk1 R32 that he'll be fitting and they are smaller :happy2:

334mm discs IIRC...

Mk4 R32 brakes actually. They are 334 x 32, 2 piston per caliper.
-
:grin: lol, we were all wrong lol. i meant mk4 though. Are the mk1 S3 brakes identical then? Mifght have to look into pad availability to see if theres some good compounds available
Ill prob end up with the brembo 4 pots. loads on ebay available for less than £450 if you barter. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-AUDI-SEAT-SKODA-323mm-MK4-GOLF-TT-S3-BREMBO-CALIPERS-/270694124347?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f06a08b3b#ht_1029wt_698 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/VW-AUDI-SEAT-SKODA-323mm-MK4-GOLF-TT-S3-BREMBO-CALIPERS-/270694124347?pt=UK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3f06a08b3b#ht_1029wt_698) plus they will match the rear calipers then
-
Sorry thought you were talking mk5 r32 :stupid:
-
when was you car built blade.
REVO and anothe rtuner have both told me that my Fabia will not be able to be remapped via the OBD port or by removing the ECU and piggybacking it.
Here some info ive got from one of the tuners, which match what REVO said
name='shark_tech' timestamp='1296228681' date='28 January 2011 - 15:31']
Hi Sy,
2011 180hp 1.4TSI cannot be flashed at all for now. It has Bosch's newest tuning protection active, which prevents flash readout even using the bootup method.
Tool manufacturers are just about to finish and release 1.2TSI and 1.6TDI VAG protocols (a couple of weeks), and after that they will start working on the new protection. I hope it wont be too many months before its finished.
-Mikko
edit: Just to be clear, key word being 2011 there, new tuning protection for VAG was released early December 2010, so all cars manufactured after that have it as standard, and cannot be tuned yet.
So looks like VAG have changed their encryption now to stop the tuners bypassing it. It took them a few moonths to get around the first encrypted ECUs when they were introduced in early 2010 cars so hopefully this wont take to long to get aroundeither
-
I think Ryan's was a Sep 2010 build (dont quote me on it though)...
It made 187bhp today :smiley:
-
.
Why are VAG so keen to stop aftermarket tuning? If it's known that an engine is tuneable doesn't it potentially sell more cars?
-
not when they should buy the flag ship model instead. Buy a GTI for 20k add £500 remap and have R32/ed30 performance. Would cost you alot more to buy the R32. Same with the diesel guys, why pay extra for a CR170, when a CR140 will hit nearly 190hp with a £350 remap.
Had i known this i wouldnt have ordered the car. ive got it because it was light, tunable and a good little base to do track days and modifying from. I dont doubt they will break the encryption in time though. But until then chassis and brakes it is. At least it removes the choice from me lol

Because like anyone who design something and knows everything about the thing there designing it for as they have access to said designers they take all sorts of things into consideration with there maps. They prob want to reduce the risk of more warrenty claims too. VW spend month after months and years testing there maps in all sorts of conditions and bench test the engines to over 175,000 miles time and time again. Tunners like to spend a week if that and call it extensive testing :grin: VW maps also learn and adapt were as some tunners you stick an air filter on it gets upset. :grin: Why do they protect them, maybe they know something more.

got some performance figures for you here from EVO

no bad considering the others are more powerful by 11-30hp!! takes the mini up until 80mph before its extra 30hp allows it to beat the Polo. they should really have compared it to the normal Coop S though and not the Cooper S JCW

It's all relative though Sy.. As you map the CR170 and get more than a mapped CR140.. I for one was drawn in to VAG cars by the fact that they were so tunable and generally understimate their power claims. Unlike Renault, Ford etc who struggle to actually make their claimed power.
Kind of glad I didn't opt for the S3 now, as I would have been pulling my hair out waiting for Revo to crack the new software.. :signLOL:

Could be Rich, but most of the parts that are affected when mapping a car, are consumable parts (clutch, tyres, brakes etc). So not covered by warranty anyway..

no bad considering the others are more powerful by 11-30hp!! takes the mini up until 80mph before its extra 30hp allows it to beat the Polo. they should really have compared it to the normal Coop S though and not the Cooper S JCW
Poor show from the VXR there.. :surprised: Thought they were quicker than that? :confused:
-
On paper those are very very respectable stats from a car like the Polo :happy2:
It seems to take a lot for a VAG car to impress Evo in terms of stars of late, although I'm a self confessed avid reader of theirs.
-
From what I can gather, those times were done in the wet..
-
that is true. Reading the review all the times were in the wet. They also said it would be easier to replicate that performance in the DSG as its idiot proof. With a manual you can easily feck it up in the wet.
They werent impressed with the polo in the wet for handling in comparison to the others, however were much happier with its dry handling in comparison
-
nice motor
-
Im quite tempted by one of these in Black 5 door... As the GTI I love, but it's a 3 door, and getting my little man's baby seat in the car can be a challenge at times!
Anyone know if a 5 door Polo GTI would be roomy enough in the back for a little baby to toddler age etc?
Also, why do people always say a Polo is a girls car?! I like them!

Car looks sweet man - nice colour and its rare - rare in the glasgow area anyway :D looks good :D

I love this picture, it makes the car look like it has massive truck style wing mirrors.
Dumbo the flying Polo.
The new pipes look mean though, how loud is the exhaust compared to standard?
-
I did have a chuckle at that photo aswell. Car won,t be back for a couple of weeks so will be giving a little update when it arrives home.

Spoke to VWR today. ITG intake fitted, probably testing tomorrow, then onto the Intercooler, Engine mounts, Big brakes and Suspension/ARB,s.
Looking at the zorst its gonna be loud as there is a definate lack of middle box in this picture

Loud, and looks the $hit mate. Very nice.
Prefering the new polo's to the Audi A1's at the moment.

Looking good, Ry :happy2:
When you getting it back?

Picked up the car today from VWR. Car has Milltek Turbo back exhaust now. VWR Spring kit and Revo stage 1 software. Big brakes, Engine mounts, ARB,s, Coilovers, ITG Intake and Intercooler will be fitted once manufactured to VWR,s exacting standards.
Car sits nice now, should have come out of the factory like this imo. Not too low for all the speed bumps. On tick over the car has a much more purposeful sound. Once on the move the cabin noise, although louder is pleasing to the ear. Had a little run through the gears 4th to 7th in Sport mode and its truly ballistic in the way it eats up the revs. It definately would benefit from an intake as you can hear the filter gulping in the air on full throttle. Averaged 44mpg as well so very pleased with the first stage in the grand plan. Pro Race 1.2,s going on next week.
A few photo,s.

Absolutely stunning and exactly as i would have had mine, if i hadnt cancelled the order last July. :happy2:

:congrats: :happy2:
Any plans for some 18's under those arches?
Would fill them better imo.

Looks excellent.
The right colour, right drop and the wheels suit it.
Considering it's frugal too is a big bonus :smiley:

No Steve, sticking with 17,s but have some pro race 1.2,s to go on with another 10mm offset, so should fill it out a bit more.

4k on the clock already :happy2:

hmmm i could see that being lower, wider arches, 250bhp....with some subtle R badging :grin:
Very nice car btw. :happy2: The Polo sure has grown up abit over the years.
-
4k on the clock already :happy2:
Used for 4 months but now i have purchased another car for commuting, so it isn,t going to get much higher this year.
-
loving the route you've gone with this :happy2:
-
what tyres are they?
4k isnt that much though, ive only managed 1500 miles in 4 months of owning it, a third of that was driving to and fro mansfield to get it mapped lol.
on a side note have you seen the recent thread on SCn about one of the guys engines melting a piston and damaging the crank due to the injectors not flowing enough, and theres another in the stealers having his changed under warranty i think.
Apparently there were revised fuel pumps and injectors from the end of 2010, so might be worth a check on yours.
Did you ever get hold of your dyno graph BTW?

No sign of the the graph. Had the car upside down. I,m on the Dyno early July and will be sure to keep hold of that one for you :happy2:. Tyres are Yokohama Spec 2,s.
There are always problems with people blowing engines IMO. I remember all the problems with the mk2 Cupra,s but i never had any with my K1. I,m hoping that VW made their engines a little better than the ones they gave to Seat :wink:.
-
Car looks fantastic! :happy2:
-
really loving this car especially the interior! could be doing with a set of 18s under they arches tho to fill them out a bit! if possible change the fogs for the R line led strips at the front! infact the more im talking about this the more im persuading myself to get one of these! might just take the gfs mini for a trade in and swap it for this :grin: looking forward to seeing more of this car!
-
really liking this car, looks brilliant

Great choice Ryan :drool:

Absolutely love it Fella what a cracking looking little car :drool: :happy2:

Missis is trying to turn my head to one of these as her mate has one. :surprised:
I've seen the stock performance figures, but are there any "seriously" modified cars about (apart from yours!) and what kind of figures can you get from them?
Does it handle well? Is there much aftermarket stuff out there for them?
I'm still wanting an R or an ED35, but my "better" half usually gets her way, so if it would be possible to get one of these to be relatively fast then I may not struggle against her too much. and who knows, I may get an R as well for winter duties :laugh:
All I know so far is that with just a map they make around 200-210bhp on a Dyno Dynamics roller, have DSG as standard and weigh around 1200kg.
-
Oh, and I do like the look of them over the MKVI Golf, plus 40+mpg would be nice for a change :laugh:
-
I,m really enjoying mine John. With stage 1 and Milltek TBE it goes really well. VWR will be marketing an Intercooler, Engine mounts, Big brakes, Intake, ARB and suspension once there developed. Ideally i would want an uprated clutch pack before i decide to go stage 2 and/or hybrid turbo as the 7 speed dry clutches have a low torque limiter. INA in Canada are on the case and also will be offering a new hybrid turbo option. A few Golf GT,s in Europe are already running 290ish on there own hybrid turbo option so it is possible.
-
That is good to hear :happy2:
If I end up going down this route I'd also like to still do some more weight reduction, so....
Lightweight ARBs
OZ Alleggerita's (under 7kg a corner for 8x17's) (blue alloys on a shadow blue car would look good :happy2: )
Lightweight BBK (front and rear)
Lightweight bucket seats up front
These alone should knock the kerb weight down by around 40-50kg.
Haven't seen any carbon bonnets yet :wink:
I'd be happy with 230bhp and 1150kg = 200bhp/ton
The fact that the car is lighter appeals to me too as it should be more "chuckable" with a few suspension mods and less harsh on all the consumable ancilliary parts. :happy2:
290bhp and 1100kg would be awesome, but maybe would get the car back into the "I wish I had more grip" scenario.
-
The mk4 Ibiza Whitelie rear ARB fits the mk5 Ibiza so it should fit the new Polo too :wink:
-
The mk4 Ibiza Whitelie rear ARB fits the mk5 Ibiza so it should fit the new Polo too :wink:
Is it stronger than the GTI OEM one though?
-
They dont come with a rear ARB as standard, John.
-
the chassis isnt in the same league as the mk5 platform golfs. the ESp cuts in far to much and the XDS is about as much use as a cock flavoured lollypop. Speaking to VWRacing they think the same,although as always add some coilovers, ARBs, some tyres and brakes etc and it'll be very good
They weigh hardly anything and the traffic light GP is what they do best. hence why with only stage 1 there are guys in the low 13s on the 1/4. Ibizaracebrake on SCN has stage 1 REVO with a cat back exhaust and stripped interior, R888s and KW coilovers and hes got the fastest 1/4mile time ive seen.
Stock cars are making 14.66 on the 1/4 as well which is impressive in its own right. http://seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=316640 (http://seatcupra.net/forums/showthread.php?t=316640)
The guys on SCN seem to be having build quality issues with the engine. the guy above has his engine in bits after his pistons melted etc, apparently injector not fueling enough, but from what i gather the main cars effected are 09 cars. there are now new injectors and fuel pumps iirc.
There is a guy on SCN with a hybrid turbo running 250hp which from what i gather is pretty impressive. Mines on a stage 1+ remap with a Decatted OEM downpipe and on the dual carriageway behind a mk2 leon Cupra i was having to lift off big style
Have a look here http://www.vagoc.co.uk/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=88 (http://www.vagoc.co.uk/vb/forumdisplay.php?f=88) for remap possibilities and dyno graphs
They dont come with a rear ARB as standard, John.
Are you sure? Iill have a look this weekend when im back home.
also @ hurdy there are loads of brake options as the front hubs are the same as on the mk4 Golf platform,so if it fits the mk4 golf, it'll fit the polo
-
Little vid for Hurdy. Went to Milltek yesterday as i had a couple of issues with the exhaust that were probably loosing me power. As always they sorted me out. Been out practising my 0 to 60 starts. Took some weight out and got my Parada spec 2,s very hot. This was my best effort
-
Also for Hurdy. The uprated engine mods are available i guess, this guy is nearly complete in building a 500hp 1.4TSI http://uk-mkivs.net/forums/t/381488.aspx?PageIndex=1 (http://uk-mkivs.net/forums/t/381488.aspx?PageIndex=1)

sorry bit off topic but just spent the last hour reading that guys thread! oh my!! i never knew such things were possible! i would love to see what you could push from a GTI if you can get that from the 1.4!

i think hurdy should go for 600 :drool:

Thanks for the vid :happy2:
Just taken a VRs out for a test drive this afternoon, whets my appetite for the Polo GTi for sure :happy2:
VRs is a positive bargain at the moment, but I like the styling of the GTi more . :smiley:
Just Phoned VW a bit since and they have a 5dr one in white for me to test drive tomorrow :party: :star:

I've been looking at upgrades already, so get ready if I do hit the go button on one of these as it will be a quick 'un :happy2:
If all turns out okay I'll run one of these and then look at a Polo R next year and transfer compatible mods. :driver:

That 0-60 time looked pretty quick Ry i think its about time we got ourselves down to Santa Pod or a little practice at York first, not that you need it by the looks of that :driver:
-
I managed 5.6seconds 0-60 at bruntingthorp with 205wide road tyres. With his TD wheels and wider tyres on a sticky pod strip id bet thats easily beatable
-
Very nice, her indoors has just bought a white one, she gets it next week. :happy2: Bl@@dy annoying that the GTI does not come with rear tints, so we'll have to get that done - where did you get yours done? Are you likely to be at Andy's (near Croft Circuit) anytime soon, I'd really like to take a look at yours in the flesh!
Sorry for the late reply, just got back from a week @ the Ring on my bike. Company at Stokesley did my rear tints. Think it was 20 rear and 25 sides. I intend to pop down to Andy,s sometime soon.

Finally managed to get my new SPS unit and discovered it was set on 95ron fuel mapping. Changed it to performance C and had it dynoed yesterday.

Good figure those :drool:
231bhp and 1200kg weight makes 192.5bhp/ton :evilgrin:
With the extra hardware you should get over 200bhp/ton :happy2:
You got at any bigger stoppers yet Ryan?
-
Figures look good, but as you say on VAGOC it made 187hp stock on the same dyno, so gains are similar to mine when comparing before and after. what was it @ RSTunings RR day again as comparison?
did you notice much of a difference between mode B and C. reading SCN threads, it seems revo think alot of the misfires are caused by people using mode C when not in optimal conditions, ie cool weather 99ron+ fuel etc.
You need to get yours on the 1/4 mile now. The Ibiza boys needs knocking back a pg or two i think

Good figure those :drool:
231bhp and 1200kg weight makes 192.5bhp/ton :evilgrin:
With the extra hardware you should get over 200bhp/ton :happy2:
You got at any bigger stoppers yet Ryan?
No, still on oem brakes.
-
Figures look good, but as you say on VAGOC it made 187hp stock on the same dyno, so gains are similar to mine when comparing before and after. what was it @ RSTunings RR day again as comparison?
did you notice much of a difference between mode B and C. reading SCN threads, it seems revo think alot of the misfires are caused by people using mode C when not in optimal conditions, ie cool weather 99ron+ fuel etc.
Made 215bhp at RS Tuning with it in 95ron mode. I only put it in C mode for the dyno then changed it back to B so can,t say if it made any difference.

That sounds about right actually, jasons boc made 208hp at jkm with his revo stage 2 and miltek on setting B, so its in the right ball park.
What's the brake plans, have you gone firm with your plans
-
VWR have them in hand apparently. Gonna be a lightweight 4 pot 330mm version of their 6 pot racing jobbies. Trouble is everything takes time so it depends how patient i am i suppose.
-
They mentioned them to me as well. Lightweight 330mm discs will prob still be heavier than the milk bottle tops they run standard though, a lightweight 312mm 4 pot would be better suited iI think.the car is only light after all
-
Will MKI LCR Brembos not bolt straight on? They fit all MKIV platform cars, so it's a possible?
Then you've got the option of 323x28 2-piece discs off the shelf from AP too.

thats a fair point, they should fit as the hubs are the same
-
Oh, thinking on there's probably a million and one cheap crossover parts!!
MKIV R32/LCR/TT wishbones and hubs and DEFCON inserts do the same as the MKV mod with WALK. More caster, camber and a wider track.... for example.
I'll think of more.
Love the car BTW Blade. :happy2:

we need to confirm how much is the same as the mkiv chassis i think. im only aware of the hubs being the same, would be good if the wishbones are a swap as well. Where the MKIV R32/LCR/TT wishbones camber adjustable?
-
I went to Awesome GTI last week and they have fitted bigger brakes to the new Polo GTI and said that basically anything that fits the MKIV platform fits straight onto the Polo GTI and that includes the carriers :jumpmove:
This means I can go for TAROX 6 pots, DS2500's and 312mm discs :evilgrin:
Also costed up another £4k of mods too whilst there :party:
Already bought the 1st mod....Race version of the lower engine mount. :smiley:

I had the same mount in my old mk4 Ibiza Cupra, VERY good mod :happy2:
-
That is a lovely car you have, well done.
-
I'll find a better pic, but here's a TT/R32/LCR cast wishbone on a standard pressed steel MKIV one. You'll note it is longer, that's where you're getting your camber from, it isn't adjustable though.
Also note the wishbone bush, looks quite big and sloppy? It is. Ideally you'd want the very early TT wishbones as they have a much smaller bush (they were all recalled and swapped out for 'safer' big bush versions), but you can buy Defcon reducers to use the early TT bush - it's almost like running solid links, the turn in and feel is amazing.
Their hubs also are different and change the roll centre of the car, allowing you to go low and not suffer the vile MKIV trait of bumpsteer.
I guess you need to see what you have already to decide how far to go? But there's the LCR quickrack (requires someone good with coding) and it also had different rear beam bushes. Don't go poly on these, they absolutely don't work.
If you're at Coombe next weekend, have a word with Team Bora (I should be there too) - they've totally refitted the car with all these mods and considering it has cock all power, it doesn't half get around a track quickly. I've driven it on the Ring and around a few tracks, it's like no MKIV chassis car I've ever driven.

-
The TT wishbones have some camber adjustment in them :happy2: The slotted holes are in the arms instead of the ball joints like on the Mk2 TT.
They should be compatible with the std hubs or with the TT hubs that have a lower ball joint position for improved geometry.
Did someone mention 1/4 mile times? . . . Dya fancy a trip to York late August Ryan ??? There is a RWYB on the 26th i think
EDIT ; Got the dates wrong, RWYB is on AUG 7th and 28/29th Sun/Mon
-
Next mods for me then are the rear arb, the tt lower arms and bushes and some brakes. Going to hold out on suspension for a minute, see what arrives on the market.

This rear arb confuses me. We have a fixed rear beam so how can this mod be of any benefit?
-
Witchcraft. Just don't go too stiff or it'll be all French!
-
Hmm new TT arms are only £150 new including bushes and balljoints on Ebay. Not sure if they are OE parts tho at that price . . . .
Oh yeah and i got the date wrong again for the RWYB Ryan Lol. Its sunday August the 7th for the next 1
-
The rear ARB made a big difference on the mk4 Ibiza platform. On the stiffest setting you can provoke lift off over steer :evilgrin:
Ry, give m0rk a shout over on SCN as he's running the Whiteling rear ARB on his mk5 Cupra.

Some useful info for you Ry, REVO posted this on SCN
Something I've written up for our dealers:
Re: 1.4TSI - Twincharger Known Engine Issues to be aware of prior to reflashing a vehicle
Vehicles: SEAT Ibiza FR, Cupra, Boconegra
VW Golf MKVI
VW Scirocco
VW Polo Gti
Skoda Fabia VRS
This document is a collation of engine issues that have been seen on the newer generation Euro5 compliant 1.4TSI – Twincharger engines. Certain issues have been addressed by the manufacturer as described below.
If you see any vehicle with these issues DO NOT flash Revo software onto the ECU without the issues being rectified.
• Misfiring when cold and vehicle is in warm up state – factory update issued
• Misfiring due to faulty coilpacks – certain batches of coilpacks were recognised as faulty and would be replaced under warranty
• Misfiring due to faulty plugs
• Misfiring due to faulty injectors – there was an injector part number change early 2010 newer injectors are believed to have a more efficient spray pattern to prevent excessive depositing on the piston crown. Injectors were also changed to solve misfire issue along with a factory software update.
• Water Pump Failures
• Crankshaft bearing play which can lead to bore wear and piston/piston ring damage
NOTE: there have been numerous cases where completely standard vehicles have suffered from misfires and un-burnt fuel in the cylinder has caused bore-wash leading to piston/piston ring damage.
Not all vehicles suffer from these issues however it’s very important to be aware of the issues prior to flashing the vehicle so you can look out for symptoms of any potential problems. Any issue seen on a standard vehicle will be accentuated if the vehicle is run at a higher level of tune.
I think I have the misfire when cold and in the warm up state. Engine feels rough for the first 30 seconds and doesn't like to be driven, until that time has passed. Then its as smooth as a whistle

-
liking it Ry. FWIW when i removed mine it was 49kg. You should get a good time, you using the paradas or track tyres also which strip you using? I think the Polos pretty light as well.
Also you'll definitely be the fastest Polo GTI on the 1/4 mile leaderboard....the only Polo GTI, but still the fastest :grin:. Most recent time was a stripped stage 2 which managed a 13.547@104.7mph at Crail on the weekend just gone, and thast with road tyres
-
what about some more weight loss options?
removing the sound deading around the supercharger. Apparently 2.5kg

I used this weighbridge when it was totally standard and it read 1220kg. Weighed today 1140kg. I did pop it on another one when standard and it said 1190kg so it could be 1110kg?. All i know is iv,e lost 80kg :happy2:. Weighbridge lottery
-
Do they charge much do go on weigh bridge Ry?
-
No charge for me. Only takes 10 seconds to weigh. Just needs a bit of cheek to ask the operator.
-
Awesome figures for info - cheers Ryan :happy2:
Fingers crossed for the 1/4 mile runs and some good times :jumping:
Official figure for a 3dr with a 90% tank of fuel is supposed to be 1192kg, so the other weighbridge may have been more accurate - still 80kg off at under 1150kg is going to make a pretty nifty motor. :jumpmove:
Looking forward to a sub 13.5 pass result for you :smiley:

Good bit of weight saving there Ryan, been doing a bit of that myself aswell :P
Not sure you'll need to go mad with tyre pressures it seemed pretty good at the rr day with very little spin. You might want to have a play beforehand.
They dont have the stupid amount of torque as the 2.0tfsi also im pretty surprised by the weight or lack of at only 1150kg :surprised:
Lets just hope for good weather.
Off up to pdtuning tomoz to get the car logged and set up properly rather then me just guessing with the bum dyno.

Blade, have you had any issues with oil consumption on yours? It's being discussed over on PH at mo with one owner even getting a new engine and a few others going down the same route with VW?
