Just another question so i dont buy the wrong exhaust. what is the distance from your backbox the to end of the exhaust (end of tailpipe).
Cheers
Chris

I'm not sure off the top of my head mate, but I will check at some point for you. That exhaust will fit though, providing you get a reducer and your have the rear valance with the cut-out. I suspect your 85hp will have the same size bore as mine. When you get it fitted, take it to a custom exhaust place so they can weld one in. Clone and Armitageshanks have the SK kit, check Clone's readers ride thread.

The new exhaust sounds really nice. I agree that the tip would look better if it's move up a bit.

Cheers I'm going to fiddle with the hangers/rubbers at some point soon.

www.vagparts.com and yes standard fit. Some people have said they needed to trim some of the plastic cap, but I didn't.

vagparts.com folded ages ago mate.

 

[bertrum]

Gutted... shows how long its been since I went on there lol!

Jammin88: Other option would be VW dealers... not sure how much that will set you back though!

 

[antnee]

Could try ebay or scrappers too

 

[Jammin88]

il give the dealers a try...if not im sure theres a scrappy with some poor polo waiting for be used for parts

 

[antnee]

Well by scrappers i mean breakers, should be a fresh batch of polos in with front end damage due to ice/snow

Hi mate, i have got one of them exhaust looks great but theres only one think wrong with it - its stupidly loud. Need to get another box put in it. Just a quick question, when you look in your tailpipe into the backbox has the backbox got loads of holes in it or is it a straight through pipe. Could do with knowing by the end of today.
Cheers
Chris

I love the volume of it mate, it's just starting to pop too what engine is yours? I'll check later, can't remember...


Little update, slammed on coilovers - front needs to go down some more, and machine polished will upload pictures soon!

 

[antnee]

[bertrum]

Bit of a busy week

Started by fitting coilovers on monday courtesy of a_waugh
And then went to a mates on tuesday for a proper clean and machine polish

A quick pic for now... will post some more tomorrow

Adjuster cups are out at the back, and I know the front is high.. having a bit of trouble getting one of the adjusters to budge! It WILL be sorted soon...

 

[AlpineWhite]

Looking good mate. Just need to get the front down a bit

 

[Clone]

I used to have an UDM but sold it with only trying it on the bonnet and realising i didn't have the patience. Every time i now see a car after a machine polish i wish i kept it. Looks sooo clean and much better lowered

 

[antnee]

Front needs to be lower Back looks spot on though. You up for getting some fly-by exhaust vids on wednesday at the Derby meet?

 

[bertrum]

Cheers guys... I know the front needs to be lower when I get chance, IT WILL GO DOWN!

Yes antnee, that would be sweeet
