Polo-Loco: Harlequin VR6 Polo Saloon Drag Project


Recommended Posts

Lacking a bit in updates again, not huge amounts going on with the Loco but lots of other bits and life.

I got the bonnet sorted and secure in the end, the car all rebuilt including some useable door pulls so I could get out of the bloody thing, dial in board on the rear window and cut some holes in the bumper in an effort to stop it from acting like a parachute!

Made the journey to Pod from Pompey with no issues what so ever and I got straight out and got a total of 20 runs in, not bad for a Friday at Bug Jam! With all the mods I took 0.2 seconds off my previous PB at Big Bang so I’m now sitting around 14.5, however the headwind was even more severe than at Big Bang so I’m still confident it’s quicker than that. I see no reason why it shouldn’t be banging on the door of a 13.9. The solid front mount made a lot of difference and my launches were improving all the time, even my 60fts were down to 2.1 which is a vast improvement. Though my times were quicker and more consistent my terminal speed was down which I can only put down to gear changes and the aforementioned headwind. Was losing around 4-5mph at the end which is a fair bit.

Everything all bolted back up again and looking more like a Harlequin than just a randomly painted car. Can’t decide between standard rear lights or the all Red ones. Once I get the roof and rear quar

Finally in, I also decided to make up a slide for a bit of ventilation as I still need to drive the car to and from Pod at the moment!
