Default My Other Car - G40

Thought I would share pics of my other car

I am sure you have all heard of a Polo G40 ?

This one is a 1994, owned it since 1998.

Few mods -

Coilovers
Bigger wheels (they only come with 13's as standard!!)
exhaust - de catted
supercharger bored (makes 14psi boost) with smaller pulley
twin induction
head ported and polished
schrick camshaft

etc...

anyway it takes the standard G40 from 113BHP with 130lbs to rr'd 175BHP and 200lbs

fun in a car weighing less than 900kg

Cool! I very nearly had one - in 2001 my mate was keen to swap his 1991 100k example with a similar mod spec to yours, with my 1995 306 D-Turbo! Sadly I couldn't get insured on the it

Great car's though, lots of fun!

Wot, no underbonnet pics?

Nice car, looks very smart. I bet 200ft-lb in a 900kg car feels good

Thumbs up

Yup, like these, i thought the G60 (corrado?) supercharger was a quick and easy way to get more power out of these.

Looks nice and sensible mods
