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

[way]

Great to hear another forum user happy with APR so I don't sound like an APR rep lol. It really is great isn't it? But I tell you what, after the suspension mod, I now want more power as the car can handle much more now especially off the line. No massive wheelspin like before.

[Frostee]

I think it's the best "bang for buck" mod for sure.
The amount of power and torque you get for the tune is quite amazing.
I've had ecu's "flashed" in a lot of my previous cars but nothing gave the increase in power like with the Polo GTI.
Really makes you think why they released it with such a moderate tune? I guess it needs to appeal to all types.
It took just over an hour (they were pretty busy though)
The winter sale ends tomorrow, but it will most likely come back say Volkspower.

Thanks for the update. Thrilled to hear how happy you are with it.

Bugger re the sale finishing tomorrow. For what it's worth I've dropped Volkspower and APR a email to see if they'll extend the price to me for an install next Saturday. I've offered to pay a deposit on Monday. We'll see what comes of it.

By the way, what was the final price you paid?

There's a good chance they'll extend the sale i reckon, considering they've already done so twice lol.
I paid $1185.75 all up.

Thank you. Will post the outcome.

Test drove a 77tsi today, manual. With 3 men in the car, it went REALLY well. I was expecting it to die, but no such thing.

Really impressed by the engine, and everything else was as expected. Will definitely be driving it again.

She is a real rocket not to be underestimated, should of tried it with two people with A/C on...you will be surprised how responsive the engine is

So far I have done the following:
























Next up is this multifunction steering wheel, which I'll have installed this coming sunday.

I really like the chrome pedals. But at last look I could only find pedals for left hand drive. Or at least the ebay sellers claim it cannot be fitted to our RHD cars.

Hmmm...That seems odd. As far as I know you have the same pedal layout/size on RHD cars as we do on the LHD. Pretty sure they will fit, don't see why they wouldn't, but if you take a picture of the pedals and post it, we can make sure before you make an order. Should be easy to see if they fit...

I found these just then. From HK. However I can't be sure if they're genuine. Says its for LHD and RHD

Whereas these which do seem to be official are only for RHD. But more expensive.

Although it would be safe to ensure the pedals are genuine and are not going to fall off. Do your pedals just fit over the top of the existing ones? or do you have to take the existing plastic one off?

Thanks

[DonWerner]

With the brake and clutch you remove the current rubber/plastic pedal, and replace them with the new metal ones. It's pretty easy, took me less than 10 minutes, they kinda click/twist on, and it's a tight squeeze. With the accelerator pedal it's a bit different, since you just fit the metal pedal over the current plastic pedal.

Once they are on, they are not going anywhere.

The ones from HK are clearly a copy/reproduction, they are not genuine. They have a completely different finish than the original ones. Much more shiny. The other ones looks genuine but the shape of the accelerator pedal looks off, compared to mine? However that might be the difference between the RHD and the LHD version?

Here's a few from the German eBay. They are all genuine VW.

Guy Harding was working on a modified turbo for the new polo GTI's a few months back. Not sure how far he got with it but might be worth a phone call.

Thanks for the help Don.

Asked the seller of one of your links if they fit RHD and they don't but the below link are the RHD chrome pedals they sell. The same I posted earlier. I'll post again when fitted. Thanks

Edit: Received above pedals today but the acceleration pedal was too narrow to fit. Looking at DonWerner's pedals above, I can see that his is considerably wider. So yeah.. do not purchase from the above link. Hopefully I can get the seller to change it.

[DonWerner]

No problem Schibs. Anytime.

Have some bits and pieces coming hopefully this week, next at the latest. PIAA Plasma Ion Yellows for the Fogs, and some H&R springs (25/40) arriving aswell... Hopefully all in before the Oxenford show up here and before i do the charity ride ive been put down for...

Question for those who have the springs installed already, do you guys have first of all have the lovely bit of verticle plastic that sits under the front bumper? (will try to get a photo tonite to provide some clarity) and if you do, any problems with it scrapeing like crazy on bumps? (appologies for the poor spelling to... big weekend, at work... no coffee -_-)
