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

[ATYPIC]

I do run 42psi front and rear to prevent the outside edges wearing that happened to the original Dunlops... so that will not help the low speed wheelspin.

I think the compound may be slightly too hard.

Hey steve...is that 42psi hot or cold? Try running 32-33 cold or about 38 hot as your grip will be much better.

Mmm... that is a cold pressure, well after a few kays. I found using 36/38 cold the last set of tyres were badly scrubbed on the outside and inside edges.

This is my driving style more so than the tyre limitations but higher pressures reduces the obnoxious tyre wear but introduces a grip trade off.

I believe 32 cold is way too low for me and I am not driving a four wheel drive barge. Lol

I do appreciate your thoughts though... cheers. I am still fiddling with the setup a little.

Damn been a while since I posted here!

Considering it's the Polos 3rd birthday (and that means the warrantee is gone bye bye) I thought I would start doing some things.

So first off some Bilstein B14 coilovers went in to replace the shockingly stiff H&R lowering springs - and to compliment that a whiteline rear sway bar was also fitted.

Then she went Stage 1 (Mmm all those torques) and got some black wheels and spacers to suit my black on silver theme - in all I think it's looking pretty smart







Mmm that flushness - and the liner bolt delete mod that goes with the scrubbing

Nomadx38, i love it!!

I especially love those lights and chrome strip along the tailgate!!

Gone into the boneyard and found my original sport optioned 17' Boavistas all boxed up, anyone interested in buying pm me an offer.

Nothing too exciting, i'm saving for a Stage 1 tune.

Just recently I had the dealer tint stripped and got some VERY dark tint put on.

I'm going to get my doors re-trimmed to the same colour of the roof by my mate - I've always had a thing for the inside of BMW's and they have the light and dark trim on the doors - I'm aiming for this sort of look!

WRC front end installed.. Loving it.

[LukePolo]

So yesterday I saw a mod that someone did with a Skoda VRS wagon. I liked the idea so much, I had to do it for myself.

Having very black tint on the car and me being basically blind, seeing out my windows at night is a virtue not currently being possessed by myself.....

Below are the pictures












I didn't take a picture of my reverse wire splicing job - I think it looked pretty ordinary...

Spent what seemed like eternity installing some BC's on the weekend.

All aligned and adjusted yesterday and very happy with the result.

Picture taken from a low angle so doesn't give you a true indication of how low it sits..

Very nice dude which tune did you go with? Any issues?

[nomadx38]

Went with DNA tuning in the end. They were only tuning company which could actually tune the car. The others I went to see said "yeah sure we can do that" but when they went to tune it is was all like "Umm ahhh bench tune this and update file that bla bla bla" in other words they had no idea.

One of them suggested getting a stock file from a new car and flashing it to get around the anti-tune. Lucky I didn't as John at DNA notified me the update VW did as a service campaign changes the encryption of the ecu and not reusing the original file bricks the ecu - they know this becuase they had this problem.

When I had decided to go with them it was all done in 12 hours - and he comes to you. In all great service!

At the end of the day go with someone becuase they actually know what they are taking about, not someone becuase they are popular.

Other than that the tune goes so good in cold weather! In hot the small intercooler becomes heat soaked and it performes much like stock. No issues so far engine or otherwise. That 3rd gear wheel spin is very addictive though!

I bought osram error free led parker from bold sport for my gti.but it still show dash warning.anyone can point me to good quality led parker that work? What do people think about resistors connect to the wire instead of build in to the bulb? Thx
