Meet my Polo!

[Flaps]

I have the same Peloquin LSD, goes good. I got mine through bug_racer.

Nice.

It's almost like the brakes are going to be used to stop the wheels spinning. Are you doing anything to help get the power to the ground?

Not yet.. But I have a Phantom Grip "LSD".

It is a box with springs, you have to slide it inside the differential. It is a good help.

Also this gearbox already has some kind of LSD, both wheel spin for the same side with the car lifted.

Which kit did you get for the Pog (was it the Golf kit)? These prices seem pretty good compared to getting a LSD (approx $2k + fitting). Let us know how the install goes and how it feels once fitted.

Ok. I will let you know.

Brakes are 100%!

The TIP is giving a hard time, so I'm changing my plans. I will change the turbine now and the TIP at the same time.

More news!
Hard day today! The entire day just to remove the stock turbo and manifold.

Photos comparing the stock manifold against the "better flow" one.

Plautos u need to retitle this thread "polo on roids part 2" damn man looking good

also be really keen to hear how that phantom grip diff thing goes

[XXX-1.8T]

Polo is mental but i heard those Phantomgrip LSD's are not good hence why they are so cheap.

Peloquin and Quaife make the best LSD's.

BTW u should check these guys out as i have all their products on my TT: www.modshack.info

Also i recommend the Forge DV relocation kit

I had used the Phantom Grip in my other turbo car, it is “very good”. It is not capable to do what a full LSD Differential can, however it is a good help. It worth the price paid.

For example, it can’t handle a burnout. But it can handle tight turns.
It is very good in the power distribution with the moving vehicle. The wheels inertia are its enemy, once they are rolling no problem.

Just read all this thread. good Work, especially in a country where the POLO is not common. That thing must fly

[Plautos]

Ok!
It is ready!
I took it for a slow ride today and found some problems to be fixed.

The front calipers are hitting the inside of the wheels, millimeter problem, however I will try spacers, make the wheels go a little more outside.

I will post more pictures tomorrow. The Forge TIP, turbo and exhaust manifold are in place, but I really didn’t test it yet.

[Flaps]

They would have to be the biggest rear brakes I have ever seen on a car. lol

Nice work.

[RhysQ]

Noooooo.....you've marked your lovely yellow calipers!

that side views driving down the road looks crazy, those brakes are HUGE!!

once you sort some spacers out give it a good punch and let us know how the K04 goes.

[JCM308]

That's a shame about the brakes hitting the rims. God your car looks hot. Can't wait to read the review when you can unleash the beast
