vasser Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 O.K. Guys, I have a VW Polo, about 10 years old, 1.6ltr CL Saloon and 130000 miles on the clock. What I want to do is rip out the engine and replace it for a new 2ltr Turbo. I also want to upgrade on the brakes, it only has front brakes, but I want back ones aswell, can this be done? A few other mods to help performance. Only put on a body kit if I find a really nice one, don't want to make it look like it belongs to 17yr old. Finally respray it Azure Blue. I know it’s not worth much, but was my first car and holds a high sentimental value. Any idea if these mods can all be done and how much. Any ideas on good performance upgrades or good body kits will be appreciated. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stew Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 You kidding Kyle? If you aren't then try VAG forums like eastsidevw with loads of local owners. Motorwerks in Albyyn lane (I think) are VAG specialists too! You'll need to change the rear axle to get discs on the back I'd have thought!

vasser Posted May 30, 2009 Author Share Posted May 30, 2009 No not kidding Stew, Was out in her today and forgot just how much fun she is, Just joined that east side view, waiting to hear if anyone there has any ideas. Wonder if changing the reaer axle would be a massive job, Reason i want back brakes is that the brakes that are on are, well ........ crapolla!

Stew Posted May 30, 2009 Share Posted May 30, 2009 This sounds wierd but adding more power *might* take away some of the fun. I like FWD cars with little power as they are fun. Big power ones are pants! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
