What did you do to your Polo today?

Ordered way too much $$$ worth of products from CCP yesterday.

Spent yesterday driving sedately around a large area of concrete taking care to avoid the cones that someone had carelessly left lying around...

Easiest +10 horsepower mod you can do

That looks like great fun!

My GF bought me some laps at a rally school on the weekend.. made me realise how ordinary a driver I am.. but also has got me interested in doing some more of this kind of stuff.

I rather enjoyed one of your other videos, chasing a Lamborghini around the track. Had the volume up a bit for that one!

Thanks - of course that car is no match for the mighty Polo GTI down the straight...

Got theKW V1's put in by Jimmy today... Ride is certainly firmer than stock but now the body feels a lot more controlled and connected to the wheels, damping of bumps seems to be better and overall traction and power down would seemed to increase. Steering feels a little bit heavier, but not too much so.

Plus the big up side, finally got rid of the hissing and wooshing of the stock dampers!!!

Will get some pics to post up on the weekend

very nice!

but i thought superturismos were relatively heavy? what about the big brake kit - how is that for weight?

That's hardly a rave review, it will be interesting to see what you think in the coming weeks.

What other handling mods do you have? (sways, brace, rear shims, updated bushes)

They seem no worse than the factory wheels. But you are right I would like something lighter it was just a case of budget at the time and I do quite like the design so fair chance later on they will move to my street wheels and I'll find a different set of track wheels. The other thing is the Superturismo's actually clear the 312mm brakes.

Brakes side of it, they weigh a fair bit but I will go a 2 Piece rotor at some stage which should help a bit and once again sometime in the future I might look at a wilwood or similar caliper.

There are one or two, two piece designed rotors around so only trick is finding calipers later on that suit (should be fairly easy) and keeping it under 16" I may go 17's if I have to but would prefer not to.

I just went over 7000km recently too

I thought it was a nicely measured evaluation with worthwhile improvement. Were you expecting fanboi raves?

I'd love to get a set of UltraLeggera's for the weight (they looked OK too!) but the cost sort of goes against the economy aspect of the car
