polo n6
Hi all, this is my first post :)

ive owned my polo n6 (1998) for about a year now. What made me buy the car in the first place was its fuel econemy and its reliablity.

To cut a long story short, i want to improve its handling and engine performance. the handling is poor to say the least and wouldent mind trying to gain a few more bhp's while maintaining the fuel econemy and reliability, on a relativley low budget.

I have a few ideas. Like poly bushes, stiffer springs with stiffer dampers, for handling.

For performance i had the idea of a retro fit turbo off a similare type engine with a ecu remap. but thats a little out of my price range.
nitrus would be excellent but for its price is just to expencive for me :)

Any ideas or constructive critecism welcome.
 
Welcome to the forum. What engine is in your Polo?

If you can't stretch to coilovers, a good adjustable spring and damper kit will serve you well.
 
thank you :)

its the 1.9 diesel, ive decided to get a weitec kit for the suspension.

the other real concern is the amount of noise it makes, when i put the clutch in it drops off say 60%. this has made me think its the thrust bearing?
