What did you do to your Polo today?

[noone]

Removed my side skirts. I prefer them without, its a pretty basic job, just slow getting the tape / glue off where it stuck to the car instead of the plastic skirt.

[Blitzen]

Yes but they are only 205/45/16 and were meant to be on sale..... But after an evening's hooning - well worth the money

Yeah, mine were that size too.

last night - went for a brap with gtidave in the passenger seat, had the latest fairlady (370) waiting for me over the bridge on yarra bend....

he annihilated me within 5 corners... but then i let him overtake, and he baited me.

got out on the bridge on the run back, had a great chat - those things are SO capable, stock.

p.s. he came from humble beginnings, and he gave good props to the polo for apex-to-out-of-corner poke. as well as decent mid corner speed (i r7ped my tyres)

Found out that it looks like I need to replace my front sway bar links. I can't find the mondeo ones I used to have on my car. Does anyone have any spare??

Yeah, I have a major knock coming from my right front. I pulled the left front sway bar link out tonight, and the ball joints are loose as... These are ther ones that came with my FK coil overs. I just wish I knew were I put my Mondeo ones, as I haven't seen them since I moved from Townsville.

I sorted my knock out. It was a loose strut top bearing. Check that before buying more links? The ball joints are supposed to be loose-ish to move around. My FK ones do and they don't knock

[Blitzen]

So though trial and error, I found that my drop links weren't the problem on my car... I have checked the tightness on all the nuts and bolts, so I think the problem is the strut top mounts...

[Spec83]

I need to do these too... does the strut have to come out??

to change the tops, yes. If you know what you're doing it and have the right tools it wont take you that long

[Blitzen]

Yeah yeah, rub it in... Mind you, I only changed them out last year...

[noone]

Yeah, mine are not happy, seems to be the weakest link with coilovers after updating the control arm bushes.

They're not expensive from the UK, anyone seen aftermarket options in this area for the Polo?
