Gavs, your car sounds a bit like a parrot in the early stages.

Squeaky supercharger clutch

[AndrewBurns]

I must admit that I can't get enough of the air sucking sound of the supercharger working hard at low RPM, I find that I'm always cruising around with the windows open now and commanding a bit of torque in high gears to hear it

[TorqueSteer]

So Mr DeathLad said i need a video to prove I have my exhaust done so....
what I have done Is a Smaller resonator with a rear muffler changed for less restriction and the tips were changed as well. So I'm not sure what you would call that in exhaust terms its not a mid muffler delete so i guess its custom .

here it is...

the first part is this morning cold start and idle and second video is reeving in a car park, car was warm .

My Polo GTI at Wakefield Park a few days ago. First time at a track day and it was very hot (~32 and windy). My fastest time that I have any record of is 1:19.87 which I think is pretty good given my lack of experience. I've heard that the intercooler is a little under-sized which would probably have been an issue given how stinking hot everything got during a 15 minute session. I didn't get any brake fade despite having smoking brakes back at the pits and the car felt very well balanced and easy to throw around.

And another video, this time inside the cabin with gauges! Video is dark because it was filmed over-exposed and that was the best I could get it looking.

That looked like good fun! Hopefully we can have a Polo track day in the future.

just a quick vid of me pulling in and out of the driveway. mostly was curious to see how the car sounds and looks when driving since i cant see it inside.

1.2T Straight Pipe CAT back

Was bored today so I thought I would see how my 1.2T would sound with a straight pipe CAT back.

all I can say is the rear delete is definitely the way to go with these motors, especially in tone and quietness (if you know what I mean), but the rear delete doesn't have as many lols as the straight, especially when the DSG fart sounds like a cannon going off - all for the lols!



This is what it looks like...



And this is what is sounds like... ;P



and this is the DSG Fart...

[MrDeathLad]

I see your straight pipe and raise you to nothing after the CAT.
