KIRSTMs '98 Polo Mk4 6N

[Smead]

Do have a soft spot for the 6N Polo, Shame we never got the 3 door (or GTI) here

Josh's pics look awesome

Hey Dylan, is that 1.6 DOHC?

[Glynn.]

hahahah thats the 1st time ive heard that, dont listen to her dude, my mrs said i couldnt put wheels on her bmw that didnt stop me lol
as for the rear could always buy rubber bungs and just paint them with touch up paint

[thestu]

^^^ black one with white rs's is dope!

If you need any help dude hollllaaa

[GoLfMan]

Hey Dylan, is that 1.6 DOHC?

nope its a SOHC 8v single point. They redline at like 5500rpm and run out of power at 4000rpm. But its such a good handling car though!

[rayray086]

yeah Ray its a pretty clean car. one or two things body wise we have to look into but that is all.
is yours sisters all all stanced? haha

Nah, had the chance to, but she didn't want to hear any of it haha.

went to give the car its first mod, side indicators swapped to clear from a mk4 bora.
light fits perfect (better then the standard ones if you ask me) but the connection in the back is slightly different and i need orange globes. going to try and hunt down the a mk4 one and see if i can make it fit the polo relay

[Buller_Scott]

nice. respect to the old 6n - there are still quite a few pootling about in melbourne. i see them all the time in the inner city.

now we have one i see them everywhere. Hopefully can make kirsts stand out from the rest.

[dylan8]

so mk4 bulb holder doesnt have a connection to the relay like the polo.
This is what the back of the polo ones look like

If they had fitted...
Old:


vs New:


Next up is getting the radio going or swapped for the one from the mirage.
also the A/C controls dont light up, and one globe in the 3rd brake light has gone out, so will be fixing those

[Buller_Scott]

black trim and shiny tyres? nice to see it's getting well taken care of

ha thats about as much as i can do atm.
car is screaming for clay bar at the moment, need to go buy some more

[dylan8]

Finally got the radio code for the stock headunit (thanks to the guys at Barloworld Volkswagen, Glen Waverley!!)
found a free daftpunk cd in it! woo.

going to get stuck into the sounds system soon. new headunit (from mirage), front door speakers dont seem to exist atm so will wire them up (again thanks to the mirage), new speakers in the dash, will buy a second parcel shelf and add the other 6" speakers to that (and again from the mirage)

The lines holding up the rear shelf are also shot, so will highjacking them from my VR wreck as they seemed to be a better design

also looking at some 15x7 wheels atm, just have to check offsets and tyre sizes of the poor 4x4 polo

[getjet]

nice and smooth, nice and tight, very perky engine.

Realistically, it would be fine just as is, for most peoples GF's atleast
.

Well, that's one way to Talk about his girlfriend... Oh wait...

Good looking runabout.

Car had a minor service by Volkwerke (thanks guys!!)
also corrected the hand brake (no tension before) and gave the brakes some feel.

They found the wheel bolts were about 10mm too long for the wheels/car while fixing the brakes, so that was also corrected.

picked up a mk4 shifter and boot to suit the polo and a brake fluid pressure sensor just incase that is the fault of the cluster problems we were having. Thanks Dean!

Car got the thumbs up from the boys and with its full (well almost) service history its nice to know.

Polo also got some aero wipers which will fix the old ones.

On the hunt to see what can be done in regards to sway bars as the body roll is horrendous (even Kirst commented on it) but dont want the ride quality to go down the drain too much so decent drop lowering springs are really out of the question.
also on the hunt for some 15x7s or something similar and some new tyres to get the rolling diameter right (these are well over sized) hopefully clean the car up a little

Ronal Teddies in the forum classifieds, just sayin'.
