this guy has converted his polo to an mid-engine, motorbike Gsx-r 1000 motor for drift specifically
i saw the thread on some other forum a while ago during the conversion, it was a massive job, but this is a first vid of it that i saw

Fck me...never seen that one before, but damn....is that a VR6 turbo? i want one......

[BLKMJC]

Pretty nice! Seen a video of it before, very fast.

Would be nice to see it go up against the whip!

[blackgti1.8]

Yeah, one of my favourite videos:)
Yes, 2.8 VR6 turbo.

Owned by a Swiss guy called Anthony Carpignano - there was an article in
the November PVW is you can lay you hands on a copy...

Wild stuff!

[ScienceVR6]

Yeah, its quick, but i recon i could run him.....






j:
No. that thing is silly.
In fact, that polo is silly too.

[Elwoods 2LGL]

1st time ive seen that and as a mk3 owner it put a massive grin on my face :D :D and ideas on what to do to the car next and then reality set in and i went about trying to find a breather pipe so im capable of atleast having my beast run . . . a little . . . please. . .OK then ill go now

That is a sweet ride anyways. . . . . . :cool:

[MattyT]

What I dont get is how hes able to send that much power through the front wheels!?

[deemoE36]

i dont think thats fwd anymore,

think about it, if u did so much work to get that power and speed, wouldnt you make sure that you can deliver it to the ground?

i reckon an .:R drivetrain or something ;)

[MattyT]

I'd have to be.

Is there a website for this guy or something?

Lets see some specs.

[gpk_gti]

uprated-diff,gearbox and tyres.exactly what?:?
maybe even a traction control.dont think there is much standard stuff on it.ohh and its FWD for sure,read about it in pvw a while ago

[static1800]

i love hearing it kick on when he gets onto the straight i swear he wheel spins in like 4th everytime.

[ScienceVR6]

he's a bloody good driver. There is no way known i can pull out of a corner without lighting an inside front tyre. Mabey i need an LSD.

I'm pretty sure its still FWD only, having had a quick re-scan of the article.
Doesn't say it, but sure doesn't say it isn;'t either.
I think that he relies on massive downforce, good tyres and LSD...
Tricky 6 speed box and massive Porsche 370mm brakes help too...
... and he's a good driver:)

I've seen some videos of that Carpi Mk3 before and it is crazy. I'd love to see something like that over on U.S. soil.... :D

Mind you ... he was getting massive wheelspin coming out of the corners ... almost sounded like a slipping clutch.

Blows the doors off anything on the track though ... nice. :D
