Speedlines? I'm keen to see how they turn out.

[Jarred]

we can measure it up next time you take the wheel off

Got the Cat back finished, thanks to Josh and his welding skills also Lucas too.
The old exhaust on there was 2 1/2 inch but press bent, looked about 1 1/2 inches in some sections lol

This would have to be the most angry sounding Polo out there, the sound is amazing and with the Varex muffler i can close it and run in stealth mode

Nice Zorst!
Have to get some sound bites of it when its all done

Wow, can't wait to hear it.

Ok a few more updates

I have wanted some number plates for ages, but couldnt justify spending %550 when i could be doing other things on my car.
So, I asked for them for my Bday last month.
Also picked up some headlights second hand on here.

Yes i know some people dont like them !!!!

I love them! Were they from overseas? Just wondering whether they're angled the right direction for Aus..
Also, are you running spacers on your Bora sports? They look great, I almost purchased some from fleabay but was concerned about the offset.

With the bora sports i had to run 5mm spacers to clear the Porsche calipers. There is no problem with standard brakes. They are one of the best OEM wheel for fitment, they clear MK4 R32 brakes too. A few MK4 R32 guys use them for track wheels

I got the calipers of here, the for sale section, the guy upgraded to the Megane 250. They are right hand drive lights, so they point off to the left

Thanks for the Graphs, about to look now

Good stuff.
Don't want to clog up your thread but can I ask if you ever ran/run spacers on the rear?
I think I remember seeing a few pics of them on your car and they looked like they filled out the rear arches nicely

Yeah I was running a 3mm on the front and a 5mm on the rear i remember now. They are coming off next week. They were only on for the VW/Audi drag day last week

Looking good as always

Quite a bit has been going on with the polo, well not too much

I have been working on putting the battery in the wheel well and dont plan to have any back seats.
Hoping to make a false floor to cover all of it

Sorry for the Iphone pics

4mm laser cut plate as the base
Has brackets/legs welded underneath with nuts tacked on, so it can be bolted from underneath and not see any fasteners

Dynamatting





Oh look what we have, cut all the wires off.
Been working out how to tidy this problem up for a while

[vwthunder]

[vwthunder]

Bit worried about water getting in there







Finished, this is how it looks

Now to delete the washer bottle
