Meet my Polo!

Personally, I liked the playing of Black Sabbath and then Pearl Jam in the background until road/motor noise took over

In the beginning making turns with the second gear was very hard, I was loosing traction, the car was over steering, but the track have a good grip, so I had to adjust me to the problem. I had to control more the throttle, pumping it or going slower.

I don’t know the car 100% yet. I need to practice more. Fix some suspension and brake issues.

But in the end, traction is not a problem, the car have a good grip after all.

Yeah I just checked out the vid and it performs awesomely and you don;t seem to be having any grip issues at all. I love that track. Looks awesome and very fast. What sort of top speeds can you get upto on that? Looked pretty fast to me.

My top speed was 210km/h at 110m to the first leg of the S.

Hit the brakes, go to 80km/h to make the turn.

This is very interesting.

These infos I found on the net when I was researching turbos. I don’t know how precise they are, but I know they are very close.

The Turbos.
Their specs are as follows as compared to a regular RS4 K04.
compressor wheel RS4: 40mm inducer, 51mm exducer

compressor wheel RS6: 42mm inducer, 56mm exducer

K03
That turbo had a compressor wheel with the following dimensions:
Inducer: 33.6mm
Exducer: 46mm
Tip height: 3.7mm

The K04-001 compressor looks like this:
Inducer: 35mm
Exducer: 50mm
Tip height: 3.7mm

The K03-052 (K03S) compressor is a bit larger still:
Inducer: 38mm
Exducer: 51mm
Tip height: 4.4mm

The K03S is saddled with a tiny turbine:
Inducer: 45mm
Exducer: 38mm
Tip height: 6.8mm
Blades: 11

compared to the K04 turbine:
Inducer: 50mm
Exducer: 42mm
Tip height: 6.4mm
Blades: 11 => MY k04-25 TURBO HAS 12 BLADES!!!

Pizza anyone?

Only one damaged rotor, front left.

[mozzzy_2000]

Geez how did you manage that! Looks a bit nasty. Defective rotor?

[mikepologti]

awsome pics man. those rotors covered/under waranty?

[AusScare]

Wow how does a rotor like that brake? That's crazy!

[Bubu]

That photo proves that cross drilled rotors can crack when used on the track. Notice the crack is where the hole is drilled.

[Plautos]

These rotors are not from Wilwood, so their quality is suspected.
Drilled rotors are not so good too, they break under severe conditions.

I don’t have warranty on those, because it was boxed in the closet for 3 years.

I will try some Wilwood rotors, they are supposed to be much better.

[Flaps]

Exactly. They look good and that's about it.

Unlucky mate, love the car Plautos.

[MACCAA]

Never cease to be amazed at people using cross-drilled rotors on the track.
They're for looks only on the road.
No reputable brake supplier would sell them to you for track use[I hope!]
Stick to slotted ONLY for the track.
