Jarno's Collection of Polo's - NL
: 24 lut 2012, 17:21
Hello everybody, I'm new to this forum, and I thought it would be nice to share my Polo's with all of you fellow-Polo-lovers from Poland :good: Unfortunately I don't speak nor read/write Polish, so I'll introduce myself and my Polo's in English if you don't mind.
Well, some "basic information" about myself:
Name: Jarno Aantjes
Age: 26 (22 december 1985)
Sex: male
Occupation: student, I recently graduated as MSc in Business Administration at the Radboud University Nijmegen, and currently graduating as MSc in Economics at the Utrecht University.
Hobbies: Polo's, Polo's and Polo's :yahoo:
My & my grilfriend on holiday in Rome:
In total I own 3 Polo's, one 1986 Polo 2 Coupe and two 6N's from 1995 and 1996:
Polo 2 Coupe, 1.0 8v GL, 1986:
This Polo used to be my grandmothers car, but when she couldn't drive anymore, my grandparents gave it to me. It's not the fastest, not the prettiest, not the best, but it has sentimental value, and is an easy car to maintain. Plus it's an oldtimer, meaning I do not have to pax any taxes for it in Holland, and insurance is very cheap.
How it used to look:
And how it looked last year:
What I've done to it so far:
-yellow Koni shockabsorbers allround
-KW 60/40 springs
-Bonrath polyurethan toprubbers (10mm extra lower)
-Bonrath polyurethan stabilisor-rubbers in the wishbones
-aluminium stabilisor-holders on the front side
-new wishbones
-new wheelbearings
-Zimmermann brakediscs with new Mintex brakepads
-Polo 6N2 GTI 2-piece BBS RS772, with a white lip and orange centers
But the striping is gone, and the wheels are sold. It's on its 14inch VW Montreal wheels again (original VW mk2 Golf GTI wheels). Unfortunately I don't have a picture of the current state.
Polo 6N, 1.6 8v AEE (LPG), 1996:
This is my daily driver 6N, drives really cheap on LPG (gas) :mrgreen:
How it used to look:
I bought it for only 250 euro, with a broken gearbox and 294.000km's. I already had a refurbished gearbox lying around, and swapped it altogether with another AEE engine with only 180.000km's:
And how it looked last year when I took it to Worthersee / Austria:
And how it looks right now:
Also some modifications where made, almost all to the suspension:
Modifications so far:
-FK Highsport coilovers
-Eibach 25mm anti-roll bar on the rear axle
-polyurethan wishbone rubbers
-polyurethan anti-roll bar droplink rubbers front
-polyurethan pendelum-mount rubbers on the gearbox/engine
-polyurethan rubbers on top of rear shocks
-FK aluminium strutbrace between the rear shocks
-1.3 ADX gearbox (smaller ratios)
-K&N replacement airfilter
-stainless steel 4-2-1 exhaust manifold
Polo 6N, 1.3 8v ADX (currently busy with an engine swap!), 1995:
This is the Polo I bought when I first got my drivers license, and it's been my love ever since
it's not a daily driver anymore, and it became my full-on project car. Lots has been changed throughout the years I've possessed it, some pictures of how it looked when I first picked it up, and some of the (sometimes awefull) looks it used to have during the years I've owned it:
Then it all had to change:
I bought GAS airride:
The engine back to go in again:
Got new wheels:
Together with one of my best friends' 6N Jeroen Leenders (which now also looks completely different):
Some of the more modifications, Eibach front and rear anti-roll bars:
Polyurethan:
Then the dashboard went out:
Dashboard from a 6N2 GTI went in:
Bought brake discs for the rear:
And GTI brakes for the front, but G60 bracket and discs and pads where used (280mm):
I customized my airride set-up with bigger chrome tank, twin chrome Vi-Air compressors, and controlling per strut:
Bumpstops removed to go as low as possible:
Then I bought and renewed a set of BBS RS001:
Also put on Zender Turbo 2's once:
Electric 6N2 mirrors with an English small one:
Some pictures during the brake-swap:
All new
Working on our Polo's in my friends workshop with his Polo in his new look:
Put on original bumpers, and cleaned them myself:
Got help from my other friend Edwin with the bumpers, he owns the beige Polo 6N on Lincoln wheels:
Took the engine out again, this is my looking for it:
Working on the Polo's some more:
Smoothed the engine bay and got it resprayed:
]
My friend Jeroen Leenders welding on the new custom 2,5 inch exhaust system:
It's almost invisible
That's it roughly so far, a lot has changed, too much to list actually, but I think the pictures tell the most on what has been changed through the years. At this moment the new engine to replace the 1.3 8v ADX is already in, and is going to be a whole lot faster. A lot had to be custom made, but it is nearing it's end now :piwo: as soon as it's finally done I'll post some pictures and info on the new engine. :good:
I hope you all enjoy my Polo's, and feel free to comment, give your opinion or ask me something about what has been done :victory:
