Hello

Nice Polo ! and welcome offcourse
Your car sits pretty allready, is the ride so bad you want coils or you wanna go lower still..?

I want to go lower :P another 15mm on the rear and 10-20mm on the front, it's 100mm front, 70mm rear at the moment.

Welcome. Are you coming along to the meet next month?

Is this the car featured in fastcar? I tried to click your fb profile a few weeks ago to see some more picture of it lol

Yeah it is! When you say tried to click did you mean to add me? I get like 10 friend requests a day so the majority of them I just ignore unless I have over 100 mutual friends :[

When / where is this meet then?

Thats a cool looking car..You must have broken some sort of record for 90mph uphill in a bread van!

Awesome looking car!
Trust me, I can understand your problem when it comes to suspension! Being a W124 owner, I either have to go bags, cut springs or a complete e36 coilover conversion, which is expensive as all hell!

I always say I am going to sell it, but as soon as I get somebody interested I pull out of selling it because I love the damn thing to much!

Respect for 90mph up a hill!

Dude.. I've been through this myself 3 times and I know exactly how you feel! Im still pulling my hair out on which road to take with the lowering!

Ps.. what is W124 Alliance?

Welcome to the site!! I had a 86C GT Coupe as my first car, loved it. Car was so basic inside which made it enjoyable to drive, even when slammed they don't seem to rattle or squeak as much as the interior of mk4 Golfs!! I know a guy who had a 86C breadvan and stripped the back seats out, removed rear windows and put in colour coded plastic panels, then put laminate floor in the boot. It was on ATS Classics and had Coca Cola logos in the side windows. Think it was on ClubPolo but haven't been on in 4 years!! Get some pics up!

Yeah they're so fun! Mines stripped out with a floor in the back, can't have people in the back anyway due to lows and offset of the wheels so made sense! Just got a small sub built into the back, 2 speakers behind the seats, and a box opposite the sub thats identical for cleaning products haha! I want to respray mine, get rid of the fun windows and put some more serious tinted dealies in there :]

What I think you should do is... Put different wheels on the Polo and sell it, then sell the wheels that you took off for mega moneez to the Mini purists and then what you get in total buy something that you can stance proper. You know it makes sense

:P it would make sense but I couldn't part with it, it's been too good to me haha!

This is my little car, it's nothing on any of the cars on here, just a bit of fun until I can afford something serious! It goes well for a 1ltr though! 90mph uphill ent bad!!!!

Thank yoooou :]

Think it's time I put up pictures of my rides? haha

This is joint ownership but pretty cool...



I also have a vintage Raleigh Stowaway 3 speed in metallic army green, white walls and all, but I'm thinking of selling it as I never use it :[

And I have a Polo which I'm getting some photos done of tomorrow so will post those up once they're finished - they're pretty hard to stance with the price of coil overs but think I've done pretty well considering the dodgy rear arches and et13 mini-special wheels ;]
