Introducing myself, and my car to PH (Vw DD/Track car)
Discussion
Hey guys!
I am new to Piston Heads, although i have been lurking for a while (checked out some of the 'Best of' Threads (Plato custard test making me laugh the most).
I am here for help actually, looking for an event to participate in with my car that takes place on the mainland EU...but ill get to that later.
My name is Rin, and I am Technically Dutch, even though I lived in New York most of my life.
I currently live in Amsterdam, and drive a lightly track prepped VW Polo 6N.
I use the car usually at Zandvoort, and have been to the Ring a few times with it as well.
The car is my only car, so its daily driven, used on road trips all over Europe, and of course on the track
Modifications include:
Stripped interior
Sports suspension
Polybushings
Uprated brakes (BUT NOT ENOUGH!!lol)
Disks/pads etc
Straight through exhaust to a 1.9 SDI back box
ARC GTI motor swap
Ported/Polished cylinder head
Racing slicks
Smaller diameter road tires (for better acceleration.
Car hits 0-62 in 7 seconds (My best being 6.8) and has a top speed of about 122 MPH.
How the car got here was a hell of a journey of misfortune and bad luck, but Ive tried to make the best out of it, and i love the car to death
Some photos:
Started off like this (bought it from my step mom for 3,000 euro)
And currently looks like this:
And a few videos of myself on the track
Zandvoort 27-04, crash, and session highlights
and me vs. an R33(?) Skyline
Polo 6n at zandvoort(wet session, on slicks)
Oh and this one for good luck
comparison of the exhaust of kieran, and The Beast
Anyway, I hope to be getting some good advice from you guys a bit later today, and I hope to interact with you all in the near future!
Best wishes,
Rindiesel
