You were doomed the moment you posted this thread
Before you race out after a chip, why don't you ask Razzle what it has done to the car or what gains uniiQ has made.
First item to get and possibly the best gains vs cost is either a performance DIF or CAI. Anything from 5 to 10 whp gain.
You on the coast and will feel the difference immediately from what I'm told.

PS: We all think we can drive when we're 19... lol

yes to win drags... really the best handling car? my side no its the 3rd best handling maybe. thats the age wen you drive your best coz you do things on the limit

Do you even know what handling is? Handling is what happens when you run out of grip.

What was your best then? Remember grip and handling are two different things...

Please sell your car, someone else will appreciate it more.

methinks all your questions have been answered. but i feel somewhat obliged to give my 2 cents.
Dude is that even a question? polo or 86? you where taking the piss by asking the question? right?

Ok, now that thst's been said.

I've stayed out of this one so far because I didnt think it really deserved an answer, but I may as well give my two cents.

A mate of mine has a polo gti and it's a pretty cool little car. Amazing engine, cant believe that a 1.4 can perform like that. However, that being said we've had a few robot to robot dices and are neck and neck every time. I was very surprised the first time because he has launch control, dsg, turbo and supercaharger so especially up here, he should on paper smoke me.
Im sure you guys at the coast would have them in a drag.

So the polo really isnt quicker than an 86, neither is it more practical. The boot is probably smaller than ours or at least the same size (I havnt measured but im sure someone will tell me that im wrong.) there also isnt a huge amount of space in the back. So the only way the polo is more practical is that it has four doors. Not much of a deal breaker there.

Lastly, the very fact that things have been raised like a 19yr old is the best driver because they test the limits of the car, pretty much speak for themselves. The first time I ice-skated I was the best because the skates went all over the place. Drive around a track with a professional to see what a car can really do (I garuantee, whatever you think is quick cornering will be shattered).

To cut it short, if you don't want a rear wheel drive car that requires driver input to get the best from it then dont have one. Theres plenty of other cars out there and you need to be happy with what you drive. Who am I to judge someone in a pink Nissan Micra? (Even though I will) :happy0180:

Well said, mate!

look here man i dno who started this driving thing dont come push things here. all i said was i could drive and that can clearly mean anything as to even poping to the shops and back. you suma come and say best driver please dont exaggerate things. and lastly i did go around kilarney with a professional not in my car tho in fathers old car, after i drove and he was next to me. I know how understeer and oversteer feels.

He did something very irresponsible.. driving fast on a mountain same like that guy who passed away in the 86 in cape town. drive fast in a straight line make sure theres no cars around and obsticles obviously!!!! that bra in the video made his own slice.

Seriously just piss off and go buy your common ass Polo. Your attitude isn't helping you win many friends.
