Very good video mate, I’ve been waiting for an update on the fox for ages! I have a 4 door 2007 vw fox and watching the videos is making me almost spend my savings on a project like this one lol. Keep up the good work!

[@skullhunter9962]

27:05. Between the Celica GT and GTS (7th gen) the drum to disc conversion is in a similar fashion. The calipers will mount the the dust shield on the knuckle. The only difference is a 5mm difference on the hub, so the conversion needs some longer bolts to reach the bearing assembly. Other than that it is plug and play.

[@thesilentgametestr]

very good project and video. i also like how you captured the custom back box building as a lot of youtubers dont or cant show. it was interesting to see the baffle/insulation go in.

[@yoann0490]

Really liking this build, looks like a mini Golf V GTI ! Needs some GTI badging to make it legit. Gotta say, though, not a fan of the exhaust tip, i probably would've gone for something similar to the Golf standard exhaust, ie straight dual tip. But to each his own. Can't wait for the next episode !

[@shimozo]

Jack, just a heads up on those front adjustable drop links if you haven't done it already. The correct way to set the right length and avoid preload, is to put the car down on the floor, or load the suspension as if you were, then spin the middle part of the drop link around until you feel it getting harder to spin. Then spin back the opposite direction and do the same. Finally spin it to the middle between those two points. That's when you tighten the setting nuts up. Trust me, I made the same mistake and it makes a LOT of difference when driving hard and they're set correctly

[@TheSkeebo86]

@Jack McNeil, you got a knack for creating what never was meant to be. Making the gen x proud my boy. Can wait to see your next project already! Keep it up man. Great content, one of the uk's best inspired in my opinion. ❤

[@fiskerwastaken]

Hi, A tip for when you reinstall a CV joint is to put a quite wide sized zip tie over the locking ring on the driveshaft so it will push in the locking ring so the CV easily comes back on :)

[@AidenRisk]

"It is extremely dangerous when it’s wet“ brother… you live in the uk, you’ll only be using the car like twice a year if you only drive it when it’s dry outside

[@IgnasJump]

i was thinking the exact same thing!

[@Superzesh101]

Looks so good! The Jazz Type R was amazing and this is turning out to be more exciting than when you first revealed it! I think a nice clean in the wheel arches before fitting everything would've been good and probably revealed all the problems before! 😂

[@Steven85-8i]

Hello, what a brilliant video,what a transformation to how it was before,thats the first time ive seen these on a Fox.great work.

[@lazyl33x36]

As always jack another awsome video 👌🏻👍🏻 I always look forward to your and mat armstrongs videos popping up on my feed can't wait to see where your channel ends up in the future

[@ianwilkinson5549]

Good video mate, the reason you have trouble fitting the CV joints is because you have too much grease on both the driveshaft splines and the CV splines. If you clean up the splines with brake cleaner and apply a light coating of white grease they will slip in a million times easier.

[@N51NR8.]

Great work Jack 🙌 might have to get the “dry ice blasters” to pay a visit , how satisfying would that be to see it all cleaned up ? Great content keep it up mate. Watching from NZ

[@Avus90]

I want to be upset about the Polo coming apart because there cant be shed loads of those left of that generation (at least in the uk) However, I get it, the fox is going to be a unicorn. I would just hope somebody wants to do something mad with whatever remains of the polo - it would obviously be a massive spend and project but id love to see a track day killer out of it myself. Love the content, and thank you for not shying away from fulfiling your dreams.

[@chrisgrim374]

When putting cv joints back on, a ziptie over the small circlip allows the cv to slide on ;)

Jack, you may be some kind of genius. The Fox is definitely the perfect sleeper and all the hard work you’ve done is bound to make it drive beautifully. Top job 👏👏👏

[@pauldrew5279]

Put a cable tie around the spread clip on the driveshaft to hold it in flush then the cv joint goes on easier then cut the cable tie of 👍 hope that helps you next time boss 😁

[@emmanuelgeorge7199]

The rear disc conversion on the polo is super easy. Did mine as well and helps so much with the daily commute

[@BkSMedia]

Few gripes with this build: - Never washed any areas of the car where new parts where installed - Didn't attempt to paint / refinish any of the scabby parts, like ARBs, or driveshafts - Center caps not aligned with one of the spokes of the alloy - Rear coil overs were adjusted using the wrong collar. I get it's a budget build Jack, and your area of focus is on the shiny bits, but the small details help bring a build together and give a sense of cohesion that everything has been touched.

Don’t listen to these kids saying that it’s not a sleeper. The point is to make a Fox “GTI” not a sleeper Fox 🤦‍♂️. Of course he is going to put the GTI badges and everything. It’s still a sleeper because no one actually expects a Fox having a fucking 1.8L Turbo engine. ( Hopefully you add a GTI body kit or something else on that Fox and a black color would go so well)

[@markwilson622]

Gti wheels for racing and set of bbs motorsport wheels for cruising 👍 done a really good job. I just thinking, if you said the torque setting (TS) for each bolt would help your community be confident on doing a conversion them self. Don’t really see other vids do (TS) you’ll probably get more viewers looking for (TS) for a part of the car they are going to attempt to do it themselves. If you put (with (TS)) in the main title. Think out side o the box for more viewers bud 👍. Keep up the good work

That 1.8t makes my 1.8t feel normal so unique and very clean I like how it's subtle but the tuning will suprise you they are torque monsters done correctly loads of turbo variation upgrades sachs clutch kits are good up to 300 ft lbs the engine won't take that tho so out the box the capabilities are amazing for cheap quick power
