  • QLD ahoyhoy from Gold Coast

    hey all, got my 09 9n3 GTI a few months back and have been playing around with a few things so thought i would jump on here to get some tips and chat to some other VAG lovers
    here is the reason i eat mi-goreng every night..


    sits a bit lower than that as i have wound down the coilovers another inch all round.

    i bought the car completely standard and have done a few minor mods such as
    APR Stage 2 Tune
    3" stainless dump to 2.5" stainless straight through pipe, recently added a Xforce Varex muffler on the back so it can go from straight-through to STFU with a button, lol
    Forge Turbo inlet pipe
    made a mounting plate to mount K&N pod filter inside standard airbox, still need to get PD160 intake
    modded standard inlet mouth for more flow
    JOM coilovers, excellent for the price, just had to pull apart and loctite and re-tighten some parts

    future mods:
    mount my bf xr6 frount mount and make new piping
    get a PD160
    rear whiteline swaybar
    audi tt brakes
    K04

    k04 might be some way off as im pretty happy with the car at the moment
    im a metal fabricator and have been playing with cars for years so it does make it a lot easier to do mods haha

    anyways, enough nonsense.
    looks forward to chatting to you guys, cheers!

    G'day Schmidty,

    Love the white. Looks great. Like your list of mods too. Any dyno figures yet?

    Mines Blackmagic. I dislike the black for all the reasons you can imagine.

    Post more pics, under bonnett etc..
    Cheers Al

          That looks hot, I have a black polo as well. I'm guessing that kind of stance would suit mine ..... the bank manager is gonna love me

                    I bought it this way so didnt really have a comparison to make as it had been a year since i owned my previous stock one.
