The Ultra-Rare Polo "ClubSport"

[@CarsWithJB]

Thanks for watching - please do check out Richard Gooding/www.polodriver.com for more info!

[@123cnt]

the bodykit on the outuside is a vw votex kit which is extremely rare aswell, i reckon you could buy a 9n3 gti donor car and a votex kit and build penny into a replica reletively easy, also this would be great for thoser of us who want to do a 1.8t swap ourselves.

[@CarsWithJB]

Yeah it does look like the votex - it does look quite easy, but I'm thinking the R25 makes a bit more of a difference! I'll work it out, but it'll be a 1.8T either way

[@123cnt]

James Manley bro, tell him to get all of the kit taken off which isn’t damaged and sell it to me 😂😂

[@hazzaknox1069]

I reckon your 9n with the six speed manual, r25 engine and bodykit, r32 wheels and the clubsport trimmings all in a mad colour would make the ultimate polo build :)

[@CarsWithJB]

Haha yeah I'm definitely a fan of the R25 bodykit - I'm thinking maybe R25 body, Clubsport engine and trimmings, GTI alloys, but we'll see!

[@kjp-sy8uf]

Yes, a polo clubsport conversion would be mental, I reckon you could find a 1.8T engine and a suitable gearbox relatively easily, also, may I ask how the Peugeot 206 WRC conversion going?

[@CarsWithJB]

Would be sick wouldn't it! Agree on the engine points for sure. It's actually going REALLY well, as in my dad is way ahead of schedule on it - when I'm allowed to get out of the house and record the car I'll do an update video (or if it's not looking like I can get out of the house, I'll do an update video based on his pics of the car!)

[@kjp-sy8uf]

@@CarsWithJB awesome! I'm looking forward to it!

[@WmW2005]

My mum had a 9N Polo GT (PD130), I loved that car so much I cried when it’s gearbox gave up and it went off to the scrap.

[@CarsWithJB]

PD130 is such a classic engine, must have pulled well!

[@123cnt]

Will Webb what? You scrapped a polo GT PD130 over a gearbox, it was probs still worth a few grand 🤣🤣

[@WmW2005]

Callum Nugent It was also broken and battered, and the gearbox replacement cost more than the car was worth. However, someone bought it off the scrap and it is now owned by a Dominos delivery driver. We still see it driving around.

[@AnilKumar-yn6ns]

@@CarsWithJB they fly when mapped my pd 130 was running 180 bhp 380 nm miss that engine

[@Logan11thMEU]

I have a 9N 1.4 twist its my first car and I absolutely love me little polo

[@CarsWithJB]

Very decent - gotta love them!

[@Benjamin_Boxall]

As much as I like the wide arches of the R25, I kind of like the overall look of the clubsport better. And I feel like that might be a tiny bit easier to do to Penny, so...

[@CarsWithJB]

Yeah the clubsport is the cheaper option of the two, I dunno what to do yet, I've still got a couple more of these style videos to come before any decision can be made (and also of course, post covid19!)

[@thimoroelofs]

Love this rare polo series, I cuurently own a 9n3 cup edition in flash red and love it. But the clubsport gets me thinking of doing a track car built

[@CarsWithJB]

Sick that you have a cup! Another rare polo drops in about an hour, hope you enjoy it

[@R3RS2024]

i like POLO more than Golf

[@CarsWithJB]

I agree, used to be the other way around but for obvious reasons I'm now all about the Polo!

[@paddykelly3095]

Polo are cool but they can never be better then a golf, looking at a Polo myself for my 1st car

[@arkm7792]

@@CarsWithJB why are the reason you like polo more than golf?

[@CarsWithJB]

@@arkm7792 literally only because I've lived with mine for so long haha! It's made me more passionate about them (but I still love Golfs, pretty much everyone in my family has owned one at some point during my life so I'm well-versed in them)

[@andygwynne3264]

One reason VW may have done the ‘53’ is because the then up and coming new Herbie film was being made/released. Most likely used it as a promo space for tours, again can’t believe this one passed me by. Speaking to people at VW they said 80-90% of concepts never leave the factory, so wouldn’t be so surprised if there is way more than this in Wolfsburg somewhere.

[@CarsWithJB]

Very good shout - didn't think of that! I can only imagine how many of these concepts exist, would be so cool to be in the know with it all

[@danielmccluskey6339]

Maybe you could find the bumper and skirts of the race version of the car for penny

[@CarsWithJB]

I was thinking exactly that - maybe even some of the panels if I'm lucky. Surely someone would have moulds out there!

[@tobiasvolk366]

The race versions and the Clubsport are equipped with the votex kit that vw also sold to the public

[@dylanosullivan7845]

The conversion would be a great series and I would assume that you would also find it really enjoyable

[@CarsWithJB]

Agreed - we'll see what I can come up with!

[@scottmcnamara7588]

I absolutely love these videos, I’d love to see some on all models of Volkswagen 👍🏻

[@CarsWithJB]

I can have a look for sure, a few more to go on the 9n then I'll start branching out!

[@Relaxationvideos88]

Have you thought about asking Volkswagen themselves and seeing what they say ? The club sport 9N Would make a good body kit for your 9N

[@CarsWithJB]

I have - it's about speaking to the right people as obviously the car is quite old so I'll have to work out who was there at the time!

[@billyplante5779]

do you have any problems with ignition coil packs on your 9n?

[@CarsWithJB]

I've had one coil pack go, but I had it a lot worse on the Skoda! Found the 64hp engine a lot more troublesome

[@billyplante5779]

@@CarsWithJB mine go all the time haha was thinking about getting a VRS as a update. but seriously love my little polo

[@Masp1]

Your videos helped me when i was changing my rearview mirror on 9n. The main reason I subscribed was your 9n, so yeah i'd like to see some more of it. Your other videos are also cool 🙂 And it's kinda wierd to se you guys driving on the left side of the road 😛

[@CarsWithJB]

More will definitely come, I've got so much at home to put on the car but can't go do the mods!

[@Masp1]

@@CarsWithJB Looking forward to it! I'm more into keeping the original look, but with few changes like adding carbon foil into the interior, painting logo in black etc. Anyway, it's interesting watching you moving it to the next level, but in my opinion car is not worth it. Keep it up

[@CarsWithJB]

@@Masp1 Haha I'm with you on that, and the car definitely isn't worth it at all, not a good investment of my money, but I think it'll be fun to do and document!

[@aidanov5321]

super cool polo if they put it in Wrc it be sick if they did

[@CarsWithJB]

There was one of these too, but that'll be another video... 👀

Haha still weighing up the options! Whatever I do I think I'm gunna need a new daily...

[@stevengogo3695]

I’m almost 17 I’m I was wondering how long it took you to learn how to drive so I know how much it will cost (average) (it will probably be after covid 19 is over)

[@CarsWithJB]

I actually did a video on learning to drive - it took me about a month or two of lessons, but I'd spent about a month learning with my dad beforehand!

[@zaink7037]

@Chris definitely agree there. It took me 4 months of lessons and I passed first time. To be honest I didn't feel really confident when I got my first car after one year driving

[@TypicalBambi]

as chris said, it depends, but you have to expect at least 20 hours. I think i did 33h, which is substantially more, but thats partially because I failed first time around and had to take a re-test like 2 weeks later. Also if you dont pass first time around dont let it get you down because some drivers are way too confident because they pass first time which is one of many reasons why young drivers insurance is so expensive.

[@kylebrown5588]

i was less than a month and 1 lesson passed first time also but everyone’s different

[@IRVisionPrints]

It’s said average is 30 hours of lessons

[@tobiasvolk366]

I have seen ONE for sale in Berlin at a exotic car dealer for over 25k a few years back

[@tobiasvolk366]

It wasn't a limited run car It whas only sold if you ordered one So I think the number sold is damn low I haven't also found any data on it so far other than what you mentioned Exept that the wheels are 17"all around with 205/40R17 tyres

[@CarsWithJB]

Of course, with the Individual stuff, definitely worth going on a hunt then to see if we can work out where any of them are!

[@tobiasvolk366]

@@CarsWithJB I think we'll hidden somewhere I think they where mostly sold to car collectors

[@tobiasvolk366]

And a rebuild of the Clubsport is relatively easy It's identical with the 9n3 gti cup edition from all technical details All of the parts used can be sourced from a gti or a cup edition and the other parts like the rollcage and seats in it are still sold Votex kit will be expensive because it's rare... I'm also looking for one of them

[@gapperoni_pizza2266]

Clubsport looks more modern so i would go for that, the r25 remembers me of the 2000s uk car scene body kit(max power) there is more to the clubsport for example interior and exterior and engine

[@CarsWithJB]

Haha that's a fair shout on the max power point, I dunno, I like both!

[@JDNSAUDIS]

I’m in the middle of selling my s3 and I’m toying with the idea of a “club sport” build, 225 TT engine with 250bhp, I could go 300+ but with the size of the car I don’t want to make it less fun to drive

[@Kkingz_]

My Mum bought a golf back in 2004 and gave it to my dad in 2012 They had it for 14 years it had problems but we still kept it till 2018wehad to scrap it because it broke. But luckily it’s not scrapped someone else has it now.

[@CarsWithJB]

Oh cool that someone else took it on!

[@callumpicton821]

A club sport build would be cool but your own r25 would stand out waay more, especially with the r25 kit, the clubsport looks too similar to a vortex kit imo

[@CarsWithJB]

Yeah I think I'm with you on that - R25 has just that bit more to it. I might try to do a bit of an amalgam of the R25 and the ClubSport but dunno yet

[@krzysztofzagorski9632]

I have an idea about new video about 9N "fun facts" - tuning body kits I mean how polo were tuned by proper companies I mean ABT, Votex, Rieger etc Maybe you can find something

At least very similar, if you ignore the half cage and buckets etc!
