@@allwayzactive4599 that’s the most ridiculous comment I’ve read today 😂 ‘Real men’ lol. People who know anything about cars know to look under the car for signs of wear and tear as well under the bonnet
One point of detail. Put the V from Vw pointing towards the air valves. So all the logos are the same way pointing and you always find you airvalve quicker. The rest I want to see that thing on the streets and getting mapped for a stage 2 or something make it wild ! Love the project
28:52 watching you fit new bearings and refurbished brakes to that dirty old trailing arm had me wincing. I would have been straight at that with a wire brush at least!
Absolutely love it. I'm a sucker for an old school hot hatch for tearing up country lanes. You've kept it faithful to the VW ethos and styling, can't believe how good that looks! Well done.
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.
This kid is just here to make content and make money from YT, he couldn't give two 💩💩's about what his subscribers are all telling him here. My first video and my last on this sh!te chanel.
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.
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 !
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 :)
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
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 👏👏👏
"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
Goodbye to the sleeper ... 😭 This is no longer a sleeper, as there are now too many things that at least rouse suspicion.... But please don't forget about the engine mount(s) ! Last video you could see the engine moving way too much.
@@JackMcNeillCars You should have painted the calipers black or silver instead of red. And left the height of the suspension a little higher. Otherwise, great job! Very entertaining to watch the transformation of the fox.
Im doing exactly same. I have a basic mk 7.5 golf 1.8 Turbo fwd auto. stock 180 HP it does 0 to 100 in 6.8 and 15.5@89.5. All I have done so far is stage 1 offshelf 93 octain tuned the ecu, my self . Now 220HP 0 to 5.8 anf 14.6@100 😱 insane only a ecu flash at home.
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.
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! 😂
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.
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.
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
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!
Enjoy your videos and seeing people do the work themselves. Not sure if I'm the only one but fitting new cv boot, turn boot inside out and help from the top half of a juice bottle or fizzy bottle, put some engine oil or cooking oil over bottle and boot will stretch and slide over turn boot right way round and secure
Glad I waited to comment before watching on! Was thinking why isn’t he putting on fresh ball joints and rod ends anyway if changing the hubs! Could have thrown some new rear top mounts on them BC’s though!
@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. ❤
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)
Superb effort. What a dream it is to have a donor car that makes everything fit! Love the direction of this channel! What's next for the Fox, surely a mega detail?
Bit of a mental project that you may not have the facilities for but up next, a fiesta RS. Now that the fez is dead we'll never get the RS the ford community always wanted so it would be cool
The red dot on the tyre should align with the air valve i only found out today myself while having new tyres fitted every day is a school day nice sleeper
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
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
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 😁
6:40 installing new parts in a crusty mud splattered wheel arch hurts to watch - the 5 mins it would've taken to clean it are negligible . But either way, a cool build. Thanks for sharing.
He said it in the video Coilovers are bottomed out And they’re for a polo(different car) anyway, so its the best he can right now… I think it looks good for a “sleeper” I do think he should’ve used the later gti wheels color scheme and paint the inside of the wheels black, and the front silver. But they look good anyway, it would just look better IMO…that would definitely get it out of the sleeper look. Although the brakes and exhaust are already a 2nd look kinda thing..but still sleeper enough if you didn’t know much. Here in USA we never got the Polo or Lupo, and only got the Fox in like the 70’s or 80’s. So if I saw this out in a parking lot, I personally wouldn’t notice anything out of the ordinary except the brakes(could’ve just been somebody with a rattle can and an Amazon account for the drilled/slotted rotors tho) and some home made looking exhaust.
Please take my 2012 Nissan Qashqai +2 and create a series doing that up 😂 it’s a family car, I can’t afford 2 so the ultimate family sleeper car would be great 😂
Love the content Jack! It really is a brilliant channel! But, I couldn't fit new parts to a dirty arch like that! It's like when you fitted the engine, id have had to clean the engine bay first ! LOL

Don’t worry next video is already being filmed 🫡
@ cmon now big up to you jack. It had better be tremendous
"What's the torque spec?"

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.
Loving this build! Please say we get a drag race between this and the jazz when finished🤞🏼
Don’t you worry this is happening
@ Can’t wait 😎
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.

These videos give me og adamlz/tjhunt vibes, I love it. Keep up the work

The one thing you should add is a GTI steering wheel at some point, whether you already decided on that anyway.

love the content but the thing thats sad is that you took apart a CLEAN 9N3 :(
Good job you put half the grease all round the rubber cv boot, so you only had half of what your supposed to into the cv itself🤣🤣🤣🤦🏽♂️
Baby polo looks good jack would have sold like hot cakes if vw had ever made one
I built a 1.8t earlier this year, 600hp capable for less than £5k. Headwork and ancillaries included.
You should do the solid trailing arm bushings from audi tt mk1. they are really really worth it
Mate, love the content!! Personally I think it would look better if you lower it a bit more!!
He said it in the video
Coilovers are bottomed out
And they’re for a polo(different car) anyway, so its the best he can right now…
I think it looks good for a “sleeper”
I do think he should’ve used the later gti wheels color scheme and paint the inside of the wheels black, and the front silver. But they look good anyway, it would just look better IMO…that would definitely get it out of the sleeper look. Although the brakes and exhaust are already a 2nd look kinda thing..but still sleeper enough if you didn’t know much.
Here in USA we never got the Polo or Lupo, and only got the Fox in like the 70’s or 80’s. So if I saw this out in a parking lot, I personally wouldn’t notice anything out of the ordinary except the brakes(could’ve just been somebody with a rattle can and an Amazon account for the drilled/slotted rotors tho) and some home made looking exhaust.
He can’t they are on the lowest setting
So glad that you don’t ruin the video by doing an intro showing exactly whats going to happen, such at Matt Cringestrong
Sounds like it needs a full set of Polybushes!
The GTI Logo at the Fox !
Jack will be the next big thing sick swaps decided by fans
Good progress 👍👍👍 now small tailgate spoiler, tinted windows, and maybe better looking exhaust tip and its sorted🍻🍻🍻
100% has to be a Mitsubishi Colt Evo next imo
Love your vids man you should defo clean the underside of that fox whilst it’s up on ramps and get it under sealed last you a lot longer
This is the type of build i enjoy the most, not into lambos and m3s its these cheaper ones that are the best
Love this build! I personally think a due exit Milltek style exhaust would have looked better.
Please take my 2012 Nissan Qashqai +2 and create a series doing that up 😂 it’s a family car, I can’t afford 2 so the ultimate family sleeper car would be great 😂

I'm new to this channel quite enjoyed it going to take time watching previous videos
That's a keeper mate. Well done and enjoy! 😁✌
It would be wild to make a body kit for the fox
You could maybe take the brake master cylinder from the GTi. Cool conversion.
Your content is mint mate, keep it up! 🔥
It's funny that here in Brazil (birthplace of the vw fox) we have only 30 GTI Polos! They're also the only 2 door polos over here.
The car could definitely do with a jet wash on the underside. Would make finding leaks and splits a lot easier
Going for 18s from a golf would of sorted that arch gap more and run some thicker spacers to near flush !
It's my first time on this channel and I absolutely fucking love it! Keep up the good work.
Next step: installing a FuelTech to extract all the possible performance of that car 😉
