Fitting GTI Seats Into a VW Polo 9n! | Pointless Polo Project

[@gtijoey]

Do I plan to buy an old Polo? No. Do I plan on buying new seats for a car? No. Do I own a car? Again, no. But I enjoyed watching this.

[@CarsWithJB]

Hahah comment of the month right here - appreciate it, glad you enjoyed the video!

[@Benjamin_Boxall]

*_Yes._* The seats are not only more efficient but much better looking, too. The Polo keeps looking meaner. I like it.

[@CarsWithJB]

Cheers as always big man - I'm a huge fan of the new seats having been driving around in them since Monday, very decent indeed 🤙🏽 hopefully getting the interior redone then it's gunna be looking 🔥

[@15october91]

Ummmmmmm, I would have taken both seats out first and given the interior a clean, then put the new seats in. But each to their on I guess.

[@CarsWithJB]

Haha I realise I should have done that too given the mess in the car, but I was being lazy! I'll sort out the mess at some point soon 🤙🏽

[@maryknight9218]

Great to know it can be done. Glad to know someone else doesn’t take a vacuum to the carpet that frequently as well!

[@CarsWithJB]

Haha I really should have, but the mind was on the seats only!

[@xAdi420]

Vacuum the interior!!

[@CarsWithJB]

Haha apologies for it being a mess!

[@charlienicholls4190]

i have had to fit a new battery rack i made myself, my old one rusted and i turnt a corner and it fell out of place, i love the Pointless polo project

[@CarsWithJB]

Ah fairs that's annoying but not too bad! Glad you're enjoying the project boss 🤙🏽

[@cameronfell4415]

I currently have a 9n3 1.6L Polo. My Girlfriend has a mk5 Polo TSI and I so badly want her seat because they're the same as these without the GTI badging. I'm glad to know the rails are the same and it can be a straight swap. Definitely a Mod I want to do down the line

[@SubieFrancis]

Love this series. Can't wait to see what she's looking like in a year or so

[@CarsWithJB]

Glad you enjoy it man! Hopefully engine swapped will be the goal by next year 🤙🏽

[@forevergreatest_ai4442]

Watching your Pointless Polo Project always ends with me searching to buy a Polo 9n. Keep it up bro!

[@CarsWithJB]

Haha I'm glad you're enjoying the series! I would suggest buying a higher spec one than mine if you go for one, if possible even maybe the GT diesel 9n that was available, comes with a lot of features that'll save you time and money in the long run!

[@forevergreatest_ai4442]

@@CarsWithJB I have to be careful with diesels. I live in an ULEZ unfortunately. I've been looking into a 2009 Honda Civic ES, 1.8 petrol. Would love to hear your opinion on this.

[@CarsWithJB]

ForeverGreatest_AI ah yes that is annoying - not worth going for a diesel then! The '09 civic was that somewhat under-loved shape, a good friend of mine has a type r in that shape and I still rate it highly personally. The 1.8 ES comes with VTEC doesn't it - and goes for under £5kish? I feel like there are plenty of positives around the car in terms of fuel efficiency (42mpg or something ridiculous) and of course the VTEC for a bit of high revving fun, but you may wish you'd gone for a type R at some point depending on what you want the car for! I'd say it's a great platform for someone who wants a taste of type R fun but wants a bit more practicality still though (5 doors etc)

[@forevergreatest_ai4442]

@@CarsWithJB Sold! Civic it is then mate! The car come in to around 3.5k with around 65k on the clock- however insurance for me varies from 1.9k to 2.2k without a black box. Although I absolutely love the torque from a diesel...VTEC kicking in is definitely a selling point.

[@seanog324]

a little tip when using a ratchet in awkward angles, hold the top of the ratchet with the palm of your hand and use a finger along the handle of the ratchet to guide the twisting motion

[@CarsWithJB]

Yeah that's a fair shout, I also should have just used the longer bit to get over the top of the seat!

[@ApothecaryTerry]

Doesn't matter how fast your car can go round a corner if it only takes 0.1G to slide you onto the passenger seat! Definitely a good upgrade. I agree on the upholstering though, always looks a bit naff having stuff from the wrong car. Saw a BMW 325i with a Type R badge on once...that was amazing. Most difficult job I've done on my car? Washing my old, red Peugeot 306 (epic beast) after I parked it under a power line during migration season and a good 2,000 birds emptied their blackcurrant-filled loads onto about 7-8 cars including mine. I've never done much serious mechanical work, but I'd rather rebuild an engine than deal with that again. Took at least 5 hours of proper hard scrubbing to get that thing clean.

[@CarsWithJB]

Agreed! It really was a completely worth it modification, helps so much with the overall feel of the car. But yes reupholstery is on my list to get rid of those GTI logos! I once saw a Smart car with the Mercedes logos swapped onto it, like I get the reference but really. To be fair I had seagulls deposit on my polo while I was in Bath and it was so much effort to clean it off after baked on by the sun! Not fun at all. Can't have been anywhere near as bad as your powerline job though. You going to London classic car show tomorrow?

[@ApothecaryTerry]

Nah, bit far for me and not really a classic car guy. I do need to go to more car shows though, been a while since I've seen a McLaren... I can almost forgive the Smart Mercedes, since it is just a Mercedes anyway. Bit like sticking BMW badges on a Mini, although I don't really see the point.

[@CarsWithJB]

Apothecary Terry ah fairdos - I'm just about to head over, never been before but have heard good things! Yeah I definitely get the idea but I'm not sure why you'd bother (that said I've always said I'd like the new minis if they had BMW badges (but that would be from factory))

[@ApothecaryTerry]

From factory would make more sense, although not sure about the Mini, I think they're a bit too much like handbags to be BMWs!

[@maxparsons4513]

Aww yiss PPP is back, love it. You thinking of wrapping the car to make it as pretty as the alloys/ seats?

[@CarsWithJB]

My brudda ❤️ I'm gunna wrap the roof, and probably detail the rest of the car (touch up paint and buff out scratches) but if I could get a good deal I wouldn't be anti a very aggressive wrap job on the car... maybe chrome rose gold?

Drop me a message on insta or something, always happy to help out!

[@arthurshingler4165]

I've got the same problem with my 9n, you go round a corner faster than 20mph you're basically hanging out the window. What I've learnt to do just brace my leg against the foot well to hold me in [you do it right, you can still reach the accelerator]

[@williamdawber1945]

This the sort of thing I wanna do with my smart, I wanna do a leather interior swap! Awesome video tho, love the mods coming along. 😀

[@williamdawber1945]

Also most difficult job on my car so far was fixing a leak in the door, while door card and the lot had to come off!

[@CarsWithJB]

Ah definitely give it a go - what interior could you get for the smart?? That is really annoying having to take the door card off etc just for a little leak!

[@bigturbotfsi8238]

A 9n3 gti steering wheel would top the interior off nicely mate👍🏼

Oh and the most difficult job ive done on my car (other than re-upholstering the door cards) is my current project, fitting remote central locking to my 9n. What a pain!

[@andrewstones2921]

When starting to remove the wires from under the seat it’s easier to leave the seat back up and simply tilt the whole seat and the rails forward.

[@wolfyy6242]

Where you from, are you within a reasonable distance of Preston. Also the the thing you removed from underneath the seats would the the air bag sensors. Your videos are very relatable and I like it keep it up g 👍

I just bought an 03' Polo 1.4. You have inspired me a lot to make lots of changes to it. I haven't passed my test yet... thanks to the lockdown everything is on hold.. i was so close to taking my practical test too :/. So seeing as I cannot drive her at the moment, I can at least work on making her look beautiful lol. I am missing a part, it is the triangular black plastic piece that is next to where the wing mirror attaches to the body (hope that makes sense)... I have no idea what it is called, so it makes it hard to find the replacement part lol, any ideas??

[@styrmandmuesli9747]

Cool stuff i like the fact that your building the polo to get a more sporty feel, and dont just go put crazy stiff coilovers on and 22 inch full crhome wheels like a nonce This is not the pointless polo project. Its a legit attempt at making an entertaining everyday driver out of a polo👍

[@CarsWithJB]

Haha glad you get the idea boss, appreciate the support as always! But yes I was fighting with the coilover issue recently, think I've made the right decision by buying separate dampers and sports springs (video soon come) to give the car the right feel and much better handling in corners 🤙🏽 but yes that's pretty much the project in a nutshell haha!

[@xenongames7533]

I would love to do a seat upgrade when I buy a car my only slight worry is if it would be harder to sell or lower the resale value even though they are better seats

It's honestly worth it - keep ahold of your old seats in a garage or shed or whatever and swap them back before sale if you're worried!

[@Jakerski]

Lol I have an airbag light for over a month now. I got bored of taking my car to the electrician. It’s already been 4 times, 130€ for a module inside the steering wheel which was causing the issue. Well... the light turned on again after like 2 weeks.

[@CarsWithJB]

Jake N. that is really annoying - I've seen/heard so many horror stories about airbag lights being nearly impossible to get switched off properly - maybe just remove the bulb 😂

[@Jakerski]

Cars With JB ahahaha I was much lazier than that! I put a black insulation tape on the light because it’s annoying on my eyes. I’ll give it a fifth try and bring my car to a different electrician next time. The Airbag light is a nightmare!

[@TheGeordieTiger]

I have the same stock Twist seats in mine and they look awful! GTI ones look great, I'm envious! You got a good deal on them. You KNOW I'm gonna mention the ARB again, don't you!?! Most difficult job on a car was trying to put a coil spring on the strut using antique clamps. Took hours and nearly took my father in law's thumb off! Didn't work so had to get it to a garage. Would not recommend DIY with springs!

[@danielp4017]

put pro sport coilovers on mine, wasnt too difficult. just need some decent spring compressors

[@CarsWithJB]

Yeah it's such a benefit having the gti ones in there - the twist ones did suck in comparison! Haha the ARB is still in the pipeline - spoiler is I just did the dampers and springs, need to swap the poly bushes too, then will be potentially looking at the whiteline! Luckily my dad was on hand for the dampers and springs, but yes a very difficult job overall!

[@TheGeordieTiger]

@@danielp4017 yeah or problem was that my father in law's clamps were made for springs from the 70s with more loops and they weren't wide enough to cope with the compression. Coil overs sound cool, but honestly the wife will kill me if I spend any more on it! 😀

[@HectorM777]

Hey, I did a seat swap just as you did. But every since I did it my airbag light is on. What could possibly be? Nice video Cheers

[@CarsWithJB]

Did you disconnect the battery before you took the seats out? And then (obviously) make sure that everything's plugged back in fine? I would suggest maybe getting the codes wiped to see if the light stays off, I'm sure there's some trickery to be done in terms of removing the airbags again off the battery and starting up the car again

[@HectorM777]

Cars With JB I will try what you said. I think its tricky and I need some luck. Thank you!

[@ginj4ninj4180]

My first car had which could only be described as a bench on the front seats, they gave you no support whatsoever lol. Do you know what your weight difference is between the original and gti seats? not that it'd be a massive difference lol. Topic of The Week: i crashed the micra into a bush and had to fit a new front bumper with my uncle, was such a nuisance because its all little plastic bits clicking together, so you want to get them off, and try reuse them but the amount that would snap... infuriating, but i guess not too difficult. Not had much else to do other than servicing on my cars thankfully. Check engine light on my clio for a post cat O2 sensor, but thats a feature now, not a problem to be fixed lol

[@CarsWithJB]

Hahah it's the same with the polo seats/the seats in my old Skoda, the GTI seats have honestly revolutionised the car in a way no other mods really have so far! Not completely sure but the new seats are definitely heavier by a little bit as they have slightly more functionality - not the end of the world though! Haha yeah I feel that - my Skoda got bumped into once on the rear bumper and I just could not be bothered to fix it because of the stress! And the check engine light was a similar feature on the Skoda from the o2 sensor!

[@ginj4ninj4180]

@@CarsWithJB ye big bolsters make it so much easier to corner, and safer as you can concentrate on driving instead of trying not to slide off lol. I hope you enjoy your new seats excited to see what's next! Maybe consider taking the passenger seat out for the ring! Unless you're taking a friend with you that is

[@CarsWithJB]

ginj4ninj4180 exactly that - so much better! Plenty more to come - already completing more jobs on the polo and getting the videos ready🤙🏽 for the ring it would make sense to remove the passenger seat but I wouldn't want to get an airbag light on so will likely leave it!

£180 is a tad dear for tye condition mate, i paid around 200 or a tad more but i got rears too, my brother ended up breaking his gti and i took his black roof liner and plastics, that makes a huge difference

[@CarsWithJB]

The guy wanted £230 for them originally which I obviously wasn't going to pay, I set myself a limit of £200 since there weren't any really available at the time and got them for £180 which I'm fine with! Knew I didn't really want the rears as I do want to reupholster the car regardless, but you've definitely done well to get both sets for just over £200. Definitely helps to have someone breaking a GTI - I'm looking into what I can do for the interior as we speak!

I wonder how fast you'll be able to take corners with lowering springs. Unfortunately, I only detailed my 9n. It is still completely stock. I'd love bigger wheels (I have 14") and lowering springs on the car, but I can't get myself to put so much money in it :/

[@CarsWithJB]

I just put new dampers and springs on the car so I'll be able to let you know soon! As a first impression though the car is flying around corners. Yeah that's fair enough, it would be more intelligent to just save my money and buy a better car but I promised myself I'd work on the Polo and here I am doing it! It's been fun but it's definitely not worth it objectively, you could just save and go for better 🤙🏽

So far including my parents buying the rims and some stuff that is scheduled for the channel next month it's probably at about £800, and the car only cost £400 in the first place haha! But that is a good question, I'm not sure - the seats are OEM and made specifically for this shape polo, I suppose it's basically no different to having the original seats in the car in terms of manufacturer and safety (not like I've put a set of recaros in there or something) but I'll find out soon enough!

[@CarsWithJB]

You can let them know any mods that'll affect insurance over the phone/just discuss with them! (E.g. Alloys etc in particular)

[@abdulwahaab9026]

Big improvement, next up the steering wheel.

[@CarsWithJB]

Yeah that'll happen soon to I reckon - not sure which wheel to go for yet tho 🤙🏽

[@danielp4017]

i would like to get a new wheel on mine too, but dont u have to have an airbag if the car came new with 1 to get through the MOT?

[@CarsWithJB]

Daniel P you can get wheels with the correct connector and do the same thing I did with the seats in this video - not sure which wheels fall into that category at present but will find out!

[@bigturbotfsi8238]

Cars With JB get a polo 9n3 gti wheel!

[@ApexDenialGaming]

Wheres the best to look for these seats ?

[@tomwallace79]

Bring on the cheap Chinese turbo😂

[@CarsWithJB]

Hahaha £10 Turbo £50 shipping and takes 15 weeks to arrive 😂

Next video: Transforming the interior of a 9N with at home detailing

[@CarsWithJB]

I wish I backed my abilities enough to do the interior myself, I have really been looking into it!

[@atacant]

Cars With JB man I am sure you’ll learn to do everything. Love the channel, hope you continue to grow!

[@Alysherif]

[@Shmorton2]

It's lil pleb it was a dare to change my chanel name lol but what's your opinion on the 2014 golf r my dads looking at one to get thanks jb

[@CarsWithJB]

I love the golf R, I reckon your dad would have a great time in one! 3 or 5 door?

[@15october91]

[@Shmorton2]

@@CarsWithJB he wants a 3 door one

[@yasind5517]

can you fix your wing mirror pls

[@CarsWithJB]

I've already bought the replacement, I want to paint it body colour before it goes on the car, hopefully do that this week!

[@driesdekock2763]

Great vid, thanks, You should have vacuumed the car with the seats out..bloody dirty car sis man..

[@benryman2703]

Treat it to detail for the next video??

[@CarsWithJB]

Not a bad idea - I'm planning on using some touch up paint and scratch remover first, but once that's all done I'll treat it to a good detailing!

[@ryanramgethy4267]

Most annoying rather than difficult was doing all 4 cv joints on my 9n TDI

[@CarsWithJB]

Ah that is an annoying one - not ideal. I'm gunna be replacing the bushes soon on mine and again it's not hard but it is effort!

[@ryanramgethy4267]

DM me on Instagram if you need anything bro .. I've been through hell and back with my tdi lol @r_squared_xd

[@danielp4017]

most difficult job? changing the clutch on my 9n was a nightmare

[@CarsWithJB]

I can imagine that wasn't very enjoyable!

[@lukholoranelo7551]

Can those fit golf 1

[@andrewwright.]

I'm gonna sub even though your a Londoner lol

[@CarsWithJB]

andrew wright hahah appreciate it! If it helps I lived in bath for 3 years 🤷🏽‍♂️

[@andrewwright.]

@@CarsWithJB unsubscribed ! just kidding.

[@Qwaizor]

If you had the money would you get a new vw gti

[@CarsWithJB]

I don't have the money for a new GTI but I have enough for the 9n3 GTI - I wouldn't buy either of them regardless just because my next car will be a sports car rather than a sporty hatchback! But the new polo GTI does seem like a super sick car 🤙🏽

[@Qwaizor]

Cars With JB oh ok

[@f4tpie]

I actually really like the look of the up! GTi

[@CarsWithJB]

f4tpie same I don't actually like the Up! But I saw a gti on Wednesday and I can't deny it's a good looking little car

[@f4tpie]

@@CarsWithJB I love that it's fun and cheap without really putting you at risk of a ticket or serious danger (comparatively). Although there's always something better in the service hand market

[@afrousel4731]

Watford yeeeeeeeee

[@CarsWithJB]

Man knows 👏🏽

[@shawkz4775]

The most difficult thing I’ve done is fit a new gear gator 😪

[@CarsWithJB]

Haha tbf that was so annoying when I did mine!

[@marcoromieri4298]

I would have spent 5 bucks to vacuum it rather than 180 for a pair of 2nd hand seats but I know you guys from UK are still trying to understand what the bidet was made for!LOL

[@CarsWithJB]

£5 to vacuum would be a rip off!

[@DavidFletcher0103]

Rebuilding drum brakes, pain in the arse 😂

[@CarsWithJB]

Hahah I can imagine that was a nightmare!
