What did you do to your Polo today?

[mikepologti]

Yeah, I'm looking at a good enclosed solution so I can run my own cold air feed and have it shrouded without the need of a heat shield etc.

I was looking at the K&N enclosed pod with cold air feed pipe, but figured the CDA could do the trick as well. However for those prices, I might pass on the CDA.

keep your eyes peeled, there was one recently here on the forum that sold pretty quick and i was dead set lucky when my brother said his mate was selling his. never know might get lucky.

Dropped my Polo into the Smash Repairs for the rear passenger bumper corner to be respayed after some prick scraped it in a car park and drove off !!

Will be doing the same next week someone did mine tafe car park

Installed my new Seat air intake and gave it a good wash, amazed how clean it still comes up after 3 years..

The air intake seems to make it go a bit harder, but i'm still experiencing a bit of rollercoaster surge in 3rd gear.. not quite as much as before and haven't had a good chance to test it yet so see how we go. Cheers Shaneth for the write up in the DIY, so simple to install.. thanks mate.

Anywho she'll get a good country road test driving down to Margaret River tomorrow morning for my extended long weekend

Any chance you can point me to where you got the CDA airbox from? I've been trying to find a cheap one new somewhere.

To be honest, you can get a copy for about 250 or less...

And the cheapest you can get for a BMC would be around 650...

I picked mine up off Ebay for around $160 (cant remember exactly, might have been even cheaper).

The guy selling it wanted to use it on his 5L V8 but after testing it he said it was too small for his application. The thing was basically brand new, not a mark on it and the filter its self was spotless.

If you keep an eye out they do turn up everynow and then. But you also have to be patient.

Santa came early for my car today...



ECS Brembo slotted brake rotors, a couple of oil filters, high performance brake fluid, magnetic sump plug and a T Shirt.
Just waiting for EBC to deliver the right brake pads...There is a dislexic bloke in the EBC warehouse in Melbourne who got the part numbers around the wrong way and sent up pads for a Holden Vectra/SAAB 9-5...

Dislexics are Teople Poo...

I just got the slotted rotors for the MK4 Golf GTI on the ECS site. They will fit on the Polo GTI.

[Gti Dave]

The goods look awesome. I too wanted to get hte magnetic sump plug and slotted rotors etc but weren't sure about fitment. Could you give us an update on fitment once all installed? Cheers. Might have to buy myself some xmas pressies too.
