My new Polo GTI

[dubstar]

Picked her up last night.

Apparently the previous owner was a bit of a dub fanatic. After doing a little detective work I have found that it has an uprated APR mount and the brakes have been replaced with slotted rotors (front and rear) and EBC greenstuff pads (from what I can see).

I'm well chuffed with the little car and can't wait to drive her more.

Make sure you check if it has a chip of some sort.

To check if it has an APR chip, turn the key to auxillaries (the one before the engine starts), then hold down the minus (-) button on the cruise control stalk. After about 8 seconds, if it has been chipped, the engine light will start to singly flash.....if it does, DO NOT LET GO YET! Wait until it starts doing double flashes (usually after about 8 or 9 single flashes....single flashes are stock mode, double flashes are chipped mode). When it starts double flashing, let go of the minus cruise control button and turn the car off completely. If you let it double flash for too long it will go back to stock mode = . Then leave the car completely off for 10 seconds and then fire her up! The new settings should be in place =
