why not just click "edit" in clubpolo and then copy and paste the contents here?  I can't be bothered clicking a link to an external site ;)

MODEL: Mk3 G40

ENGINE:1272cc PY, Full Blend PSD charger with 60mm pulley (i think?), GT inlet manifold, De-wedged throttle body, sports HT leads, induction kit & heatshield, decat exhaust system with upswept tailpipe.

SUSPENSION:Standard

BRAKES:Standard G40 brakes with grooved disks.

WHEELS:G60 steels - Yokohama 195/45/15 A539 tyres.

EXTERIOR:Clear side & front repeaters, Plate holders, pressed plates (shows only), german passenger side rear cluster (no reverse), stickers in rear side window.

INTERIOR:Boost & air/fuel gauges, momo steering wheel, OMP gearknob, Shiny handbrake lever i found at work.

ICE:Alpine tv headunit, sony speakers in stock locations, Rockford fosgate T10001 amplifier and Rockford 12" DVC subwoofer, fusebox & inline voltage meter. Security is man with a shotgun! lol.

COMMENTS:

I brought the car from G40will (cheers mate  ) and basically kept it clean, shiny and running. Got several things which i want to change upgrade as finances allow. Shortly be changing the wheels to 13 x 7 ATS classics to try and improve handling/acceleration. I don't have any interior pics as its usually too messy to take any! Seem to be racking up the miles pretty quickly but i find it so much fun to drive. Might be something to do with the smaller pulley its running!!!

Are you sure it's a 60mm pulley - that is small and don;t think it can be that good for the charger  ???
