I've got a couple emails back,

i contacted Wossner themselfs and they put me in touch with performanceenginecomponents.com
i contacted wossneronline and top end performance ..

just Awaiting the best Price.


Next job is the Bigend/Main bearings.

The Company that is boring my block use Wossner pistons but also use ACL race bearings.

Anyone have experience with them? or is there a better choice?

Well.. The rocker is polished..
That's all!!..
Kinda wanna polish.. Unsure how too..
Just using wet n dry up to 2000grit might not give the desired effect.


Don't use dry just wet. Start with 360 wet nd finish with 2500 if you hv it. When you finish with 2500 you won't hv shine but you hv to use (just a bit ) rag grinder and blue chalk. With it everything will be sparkling  ;D
That's how I did it on mine Arosa  http://www.polog40.co.uk/forum/index.php/topic,151.15.html

beware customs fees from us  thought|!

Yeah as pete says, i got stung £80 in fees when i got the charger and i paid less amount than them pistons!

Jezza-7

Also i think TSR do them pistons for £500. What i paid IIRC!

djtez

Im still awaiting my order on pistons from the ebay site, he's been in contact to verify the order.

but its been several weeks and nothing...

They were £360 iirc, even £80 on top still £60 cheaper but seems the delivery time actually aint worth it !

Jezza-7

Only paid like £200 or something. They worked it out on a percentage. You can check it online.

Hi all, another Update..

I ordered WILWOOD Midilite callipers with discs n pads for a mk1 golf. So adapters will fit Polo, although slight modification!

i also thought i'd grab some Manifold heat wrap, Bucket Seat base mounts. (poles to be welded in floor)

thats enough talking... pics!

Jezza-7
