GTI 9N3 Feature on Might Car Mods

[ilz]

Not sure if its been posted or not but its worth a watch..

[flat6]

Worth a watch but the guys got **** taste in cars, rice boy for sure.

This show is sponsored?!

Personally I'm glad the presenter didn't gel with the car.

He has a point. Stock GTI is boring, tuned is fun but skinny tires, FWD and high COG don't make for a fast car.

If you're into fast subies or nissans and expect big things of a polo I can see how you'd be disappointed.

Also MCM is an awesome show... don't write it off just cos one dude doesn't like your car

I think you're missing the point man. The show is called Mighty Car "MODS" and he gave up after 2. Didn't even get a tune or coilies or anything that would actually make him say wow as us Polo drivers know.

If he added a FMIC and Stage 2 tune to the exhaust then if he's any good at driving then that set is proven to do 13's down the quarter mile. Not bad for a little girls car without a big turbo strapped to it.

I think Marty might actually still have the car. (from my brief scroll through their forums) so there may be modding in its future.

Anyway, don't get me wrong about polos.. I still have mine and enjoy driving it after 7 years.

I thought he said at the end of that episode that he already sold it and bought another project car

Anyhoo if not, I hope someone can give him a spin in a well tuned and modded Polo so he can realise it's potential!

Glad you're still rocking your Polo too Philthy

2500-4000 rpm with a good tune, decent airflow and good tyres / traction. This is above all else what I love about the Polo. He didn't get that, didn't drop it, its a pretty placid and average car without those IMO.

Had a play in the new 208 GTI, pretty fun little car.

Nuff said

[ilz]

Just watched another more recent episode from the last 4 weeks where they talk about the cars Marty has and they mentioned that he still has this GTI

I feel like going over to their forum and demanding he tune it!

[noone]

I offered him my car on another thread on here, had hoped he'd take it for a spin, but I guess they don't really come here to talk about it.

[VWindahouse]

It's for sale on this forum for cheap. I had a look at their FB page where he asked for everyone's opinion on keeping it. Needless to the say the rice brigades feedback was unanimous.

Even the few euro supporters said Golfs were better and to sell it.

Hoyhoy.

O.K. Line up the Golfs & I'll show them what a mildly tuned Pog can do.
Doing a couple days @ Waky in early October.

Any chance of some video footage. Would be great to see.
