What did you do to your Polo today?

[QUOTE=Bflat;714737]You scared the s**t outta me when you started with 'before it caught on fire' and followed with 'I had a dump pipe' (completely unrelated, right?)


hahaha sorry to scare you - as far as I am concerned it is completely unrelated. The car caught fire 20 mins after I picked it up from VW after the had installed a new gearbox.

I would definately look at getting a dump pipe again!

there really isnt any extra noise since it was only a DP and better cat. the noise is a little louder but its not loud enough for any sound clips

Once the intercooler goes in, ill come down and show u

Damn, you victorians seem to be leading the way in polo mods at the moment. Where's the brisbane scene???

I'm here slowly pottering along. My money is divided between car/bikes/cameras so things happen gradually. Need to sort brakes in the near future and will then be looking to exhaust/FMIC hopefully.

Short clip of my Milltek Full Exhaust. Sorry couldnt rev it anymore (this was only to about 3-4k RPM) but neighbour was outside gardening and didnt want to look like a tool. Haha.

I'm also following the front mount threads with interest. If I do that, I'll do other supporting mods.

But mainly wanting to find people that want to track their cars regularly, gives more motivation and otherwise I stand around twiddling my thumbs all arvo at the track days.

[VWindahouse]

Happy to hit the track soon with you mate, and I regularly find a nice mountain road on the weekends to stretch the devils legs if you're keen?

Yeah for sure, keep me posted.

Well I finally got around to installing my AP coilovers last night. The problem is it took so long for me and my mate to do the fronts we didn't have time for the rears. As such i'm rolling on some pretty aggressive rake at the moment. I've dialled the fronts down with about 1.5 inches of thread remaining on the shock which is having them sit with about 15mm clearance from the guard (17" rims, 40p tyre).
The drive home on the ring road was scrape after scrape after scrape so this morning I removed those damn guard bolts and levered back the tab in the wheel arch = much better, hardly any rubbing now except a little on full lock. Quite happy so far, should get the rears in on Wednesday

Scrape Scrape, guessing you dont have 205's lol

Cant wait to see a pic

[Bflat]

I am running 205's actually, would hate anything wider (and subsequently taller)

[noone]

215's fit, but 2mm either way makes a difference...

Strange, do you know what the wheel offset is

[Bflat]

Can't remember the offset off the top of my head, but I'm running 10mm spacers to clear the brakes up front

[vwthunder]

Oh I am guessing they are a (WRX) offset if you need to clear the original brakes

The BBS i have a a WRX offset and i am running 20mm to clear brakes. With the Bora sport wheels, I ran 205's no problems with no rubbing
