do you have a compressor and paint gun etc?

Yep got a compressor, paint gun, and polishing mop. Just bought a new gravity fed to get better results on roofs, used it yesterday a gives a great finish not much polishing to do

Painted the whole car myself about 2 years ago, was'nt happy with the finish i payed £900 for some so called painter todo

with a lot of my stuff i'd rather take longer, teach myself and get the finsh/result im happy with, also saves me a bit of cash.

Cheers

not to mention you can take a sense of pride in having done it yourself

Phil

great stuff

we want more pics of everything though

I'll second that!

Love these cars. It's great what you are doing to it. I would like to see it in the flesh as soon as it's ready.
Where did you buy the injectors from as I will need some soon. I know nothing about this so a little help will be appreciated.
I have the same front calipers on my car except in black.
I need to chip mine soon as yours will have more power. This will only take mine from 300BHP to 330BHP. I can't go much higher than 350BHP because the crappy Renault gearbox won't take it. Upgrades are about £2500!

More pics to follow later today now the head is back on.

The injectors are 440cc/min can fuel up to about 380-400bhp reliably after that your risking a melted piston or 2, i bought them from the states, company called ATP managed to save myself about £80 over UK prices, also bought my forged rods from them.

Cheers

Better pic of the turbo, showing the compressor inlet



Random pic of my daily driver VW motorsports polo, pretty rare only 11 left in existance.

Whats the specs on the Polo's?

I was after a G40 once, untill i found out the brakes and suspension where the same as base units :S

Are the injector top feed or side feed?

What management are you using to control the injector rates, and does it use an AFM??

Injectors are to feed, the managment is run from Haltech ECU so the injector map can be changed to suit, so the injector open time im msec can be altered depending on the engines rpm and engine loading.

cheers

The polo has fiberglass wings, sills and door panels that are Genuine VW motorsports parts, these were built in 1985/86 for Rally cross and painted white, they origanlly came with a G40 engine but mines been removed at some point as well as repainting it !! its now fitted with a 1.3s. But i do have a G40 engine and box in the garage waiting to be fitted later this year, looking to return the car to its original spec!! and a repaint


Cheers

I have some old GTR injectors here if you want to try one for fitment?

Stds are 440's but 550's and 650's are quite cheap and if the fitment is the same, it could save you a few quid

Not seen the car round yet though - is it on the road, or are you saving it for the summer I can imagine traction is hard to come by on these damp roads
