Thanks for making this new kit happen people, couldn't have done it without you!!

thanks to you Greg for doing it...and your awesome service/follow up!

When are you going to stock rear sway bars?

[worx]

bought the diesel geek one, feels pretty good!

[bfeboi]

my solid bushes came in the post last week. now to find time to fit them. Thank you Greg for all you effort

[Greg Roles]

Mate, it was a win-win. Now there is a late model Polo shift bushing kit available ( first in the world for 42DD! ), and you guys helped me work it out. Also forced me to make some fitment videos, and to learn the editing software.

I now keep both earlly and late model sets for the Polo in stock.

Hi guys.

Just got the APR remap done today, goes much harder now. In the market to pick up the Forge short shift kit and 42DD bushes. Anyone else starting a group buy? Or what are the individual prices and who can I get them from?

Thanks Chuck ol' mate, but that's the facebook page : )

Here's the 08+ polo kit, I have stock, and only place in the world to do so thanks to the lads here.

Afraid the special price is over, as those kits went out at pretty much cost as a favour to my favourite forum.

The best news of the day is that in the Golfs, the late model MKV shift kits suit the MK6, so I would assume this late model Polo kit *might* suit the MK6 Polo too!!

Has anyone in that ACT done the short shift and 42DD install yet?

I was going to attempt it but I don't want to get into a position when I have taken the car apart and then work out I have messed it up! If I was going to attempt it, I would naturally like to have somebody with experience by my side. I don't know if I have all the tools but sure have some (enough to strip a bicycle down).

Once I have done it then I am more than happy to help others likewise.

In return, I have the SRSII Console that I can DNA Tune your car for you (you just need to buy the DNA Tune, or I can get that very cheaply for you). Since I have the console already it is pretty simple to use the computer to extract and then upload the tune to your ECU.

Happy to assist and be assisted likewise in this community. PM me if you can be of assistance.

Are you DNA Tuning agent?

If so, that's great that their netwok has expanded beyond Melbourne

If not, then I doubt you can use your SRS-II to flash anyone elses car as the customer version of this (the Alientech PowerGate S) is locked to a single car

Hi kaanage, I am not a DNA Tuning agent. I am just a basic consumer. It was cheaper for me to buy the SRS-II and the tune and do it myself. Very simple. The DNA tune can be purchased very cheaply. If anyone is in Canberra then happy to lend a hand.

Basically you need the SRS-II to read the OEM tune from your car. You then send the OEM tune to an agent (email with attachment). I went through a UK seller. A couple of days (maybe 3 days) a new attachment is emailed back to me. I then just load it up back into the car. I think it took me 30mins to read the original file and 30 mins to upload it back into the car. Obviously a lot of checking and double checking to make sure of no mistakes.

I keep a record of the original and the modified files just in case I need to go back to the original profile. Each modified file is unique for each car I believe (cannot use modified files for different cars -unique for each car and will need to purchase a separate tune for yourself). The SRS-II is just a file medium that you can move files. I store files on my hard drive and on the SRS-II and can interchange them as I like.
