Gavin's cheapy but getting more expensive GTI ;)

how did you get it so low?

Best i can achieve is 6.7 with the APR tune

Highway trip mainly of 40km, except for the first and last few ks. TBH it wasn't as good as that std or with the AMD tune either.

IMO fitting the downpipe removes a big restriction.

i just dribbled into work this morning and I don't think I broke any speed limits, . 5.7L/100.

Haha get used to such pleasant surprises! I didn't see my needle move off full until I crossed the border when we went up to Sydney for Nats. If you brim the tank you can get 800km out of it. This out of a car with an at times spritely nature

Yeh that release valve is nuts when you fill up, not too sure how many litres in total the tank will hold but its impressive for the size of the car

So getting the larger down pipe improves fuel economy to? Just found my next mod, whats the upgrade usually cost?

Wow that is 5.7.... just like a V8 Holden Lol

That is great result Gav. I have a DP too but I only got under 6 on my first long trip from Sydney to Brisbane.
Really need that FMIC, please convince my wife......... it is a essential service item.
The Scan Gauage shows my best Air Intake figure on a rainy day is 27 cel and usually 35 best.

The fella that made the exhaust said it would be $1000 at retail money. He did me a deal on it

You could have one made for 5-700 I reckon. The std cat-back would be OK to run on the end of it.

You need to start saving your pocket money Al.

How did you get 800!? You must do a lot of "brimming" lol coz the best i can get is 600

Really impressive work and write up, it almost makes me feel like getting a cheap Polo to rebuild from scratch.
There is great satisfaction in fixing and making things better.

Plastidipped



Ignore the altitude, doing a brake fluid change too.



Mirror caps got some too. One had a crack through it, so hopefully this will go some way to disguising that.

From ebay mate. 4 cans was $88 with a spray gun thing plus delivery. I got decent coverage on 3 wheels from 1 can. I just used a cheap can of matt black on the insides though.

They send it by road.
