Big mouth again, I must keep more up to date on things.
I just saw the picture & assumed you were playing with us, that, that was your picture. OOOOOOPS again.
P.S. I'm going to shut up for a while before I dig any deeper.Last edited by Eddy; 26-02-2007, 05:28 PM.Hooroo.Comment

Sorry, in car as in you dont have to remove the shocks out of the car for adjustment (ie - Koni's in the rear of these things) you just reach under and turn the knob!- I'm familiar with the Tien units you speak of - neat idea (DRIFTER)

TSI Technology
Just a thought re Polo-roids. The TSI technology for the Golf GT coming out later this year ... any thoughts regarding doing a similar thing to an existing Polo GTI? If a small supercharger, set to cut-out at say 2,500 rpm were used ... it would certainly do away with any turbo lag.
It would be a blast.

theres not much lag, its not a big turbo, you just need to be in the right gear

Thanks for the tip, Glide. I'll try to keep it in mind.Originally posted by Glide_GTI View Posttheres not much lag, its not a big turbo, you just need to be in the right gear Problem is ... sometimes my wife drives the car (I can hear the sharp intake of breath from here) ... and (it gets worse) ... she wants a slushbox. Might have to buy her a Toyota or something.

Hey guy - the car seems to be going great! your polo's a true inspiration to us all...
one question... how's the gearbox holding up in the pogo with all the mods and after the dutton rally?Comment

Hey Ryan,
Gearbox is going fine - we found that with the stiffer engine mount it firmed the gearshift up & made it more positive.
This week we pull the box out to prepare it for the limited slip differential, and we will put one of our single mass flywheels on (its still running a stock flywheel with our hybrid clutch) - will be interesting to see what the clutch looks like after 8 months of abuse!
Looks like we will be taking the Polo to the NSW Dutton shortly!Comment

The Polo is almost back on the road - gearbox went in today. Looking forward to some limited slip action tomorrow!
Pictures of the production clutch setups - single mass steel flywheel, EVO pressure plate, organic or puck friction plates (organic for street use) The ceramic one we use in our car - its a little grabby but takes the abuse!
Also shown are pics of version #3 & Version #4 of our dog bone mounts. Looks like we will have 3 versions with different stiffness. They will probably be sold exchange as they are hard to press in by the home user (not impossible, but difficult)
Got to drive it 14 hours next week to Goulbourn (wakefield?) for the start of three days abuse at the NSW Dutton rally

Nice one Guy. I'd drive the 14 hours for you in it

Just a question about legality here - how far are you allowed to go before you need an Engineer's certificate?
Obviously, swapping a CAI or exhaust isn't going to run you foul of any regulations, but I've always wondered exactly how far you can go before you need a certificate, just out of curiosity.Comment
