What have you done with your Polo so far (and today)

[Trepid4tion]

It was a while back since i got the springs but from memory i think it was around $250 landed from orange tuning.
Also if you don't mind waiting a month for the wheels i know a company that sell all Oz wheels for around 20-30% cheaper than rrp. PM me.
Also what colour is your GTI?

Very interested in the Oz wheels contact aswell >>....

Spoiler arrived yesterday aswell, need to get it sprayed asap!

[gavs]

Fitted new front pads, definitely more bite on this bad boys than the stockies, no more gradual bite than needs a progressive push, these just GRAB! ABS kicks in later too. Will get a more definitive, empirical answer too how much better soon....

First off, I wish it was!! It's the workshop at work

Second, I like mine stiff Swaybar doesn't really make the car stiffer in regular driving, it definately limits rear wheel travel but hey, it's not an off roader Yes, I plan on tracking mine at the odd track day and while in regular driving, the effect isn't as noticable, but now, esc doesn't kick in as early and you can feel the car pointing into corners easier when you're up it

definately noticed also that esc doesnt come in as much as it used to

About to install Dynamat in the doors & boot, will post pics later

[EDIT] Installation postponed, can't find a damn wooden roller, will get one from e-bay.

Curse you elusive wooden roller!!

Hi Gavs
What sort of pads did you get ?

[gavs]

A brand called Remsa, not quite as aggressive as a track pad but quite a bit better than stock.

[JexL]

took off my rear sway bar to investigate my rattle/creak noise and it is still present unfortunately. so definately something with the suspension going to take another look tommorow. But i did get the chance to drive again without a sway bar and can definately feel the difference without one now. Turning reallly quickly from left to right on a straight road the car swings like crazy and cant keep up but before with the bar on it could keep up and didnt roll as much

[gavs]

When the bar was installed, if the car was raised with the shocks disconnected, it's possible that you spring might have come unseated a wee bit, the creaking could be the big bushing on top of the spring rubbing if it's not seated correctly....

Yeah, in a not-as-stiff car, the effects are way more pronounced, in the GTI, I've disconnected it and below corner speeds below 50kph, you can't really notice the difference after turn-in.... But how often do i take a corner below 50kph which isn't a hairpin....

[JexL]

yeah sure hope thats why going to take a look at it in a few days quite busy lately. it wouldnt be harmful to continue driving yea?

EDIT: ok it seems i just didnt have the bolts tightened up enough ahaha. all is good now

I had a little poke around the engine bay to see if there was anything causing a diesel-like rattle at idle. It turns out that there was something in there that was making thousands of tiny explosions which was the cause of the rattle

What was this "something" you found, can you name a component or are you just playing silly buggers xD

[JexL]

just installed a set of osram nightbreaker plus bulbs. nice and white

[aljobar]

@Hail2- I don't know what it's called, but it's this big lump of metal that sucks in fuel and air and makes it go bang. In other words yes, I am being a silly bugger. To me the engine sounded like it was clattering a bit like a diesel, so I wondered if there was any exposed pipes or bits of plastic in contact with the engine, it turns out that it's just the noise of the tappets or something - nothing to worry about.

Cleaned my car. Changed the oil and installed a Whiteline Rear Swaybar.

Overall a good day.

Next week hopefully a tune and new wheels/springs.
