wondering if ever been done

[astro]

hey guys wondering if a polo r18 has ever been done wantting to find info on 4montion into a polo would it work at all? even possible at all?

any ideas on where to info from looked on polo uk sites and what not but couldn't find anything.

Big bucks in that idea. technically i guess, it would be possible using a r32 or mark 1 a3 audi or similar but evan this would require major work. in the end it would be probbaly cheaper to get your self a second hand mark 1 audi a3 quatro, which is very similar to what you want to do here, 1.8t engine awd and a stronger chasis, and if your into name brands the audi badge.

Well are the S2000 rally polos are AWD? i know there is one in Aus.

I am sure if you have the coil you could import one.
Converting a normal GTI to AWD would be a nightmear would need a new floor pan for the drive shaft tunnel, rear suspension, AWD gear box ect.
Cheers Rob.

Just for the sake of curiosity, would it be easier to convert the Polo GTI to a RWD?

I think 4WD benefits have been somewhat non feasible when properlly set up FWD like FD Civic R can corners just as good as RAR spec-ed scubby

They were setting up for racing right from the drawing board where polos are just cars designed to use little fuel. So weight balance of the isn't like a type r I think have better luck getting it all wheel drive over rear wheel. But yeah I know it would be lot of work n expensive, just seen coupe versions of lancers with evo running gear n awd setup wondering if been done with a polo n the r32 running gear.

He He He I was just wondering about that earlier today. Would be great if it could be done with not too much coin. Otherwise I'd leave it and just have a good laugh and enjoy the lil pogo for what it is.

in the thrad that pologti posted it said the drive of the rally car didn't say how much but there guess is atlease 200000 so yeah prob cheaper if tried doing it urself/getting a workshop.

Well converting to AWD is easy if you just cut the floor out of your boot and stick a second 1.8T in there. In my mind, this is somewhat easier than getting an AWD box, prop shaft etc. All you need to do is splice the clutch, throttle, gear shift etc and its all good.
