What did you do to your Polo today?

[PistolJay]

Finally, after more than a year, I got around to painting my Cup Edition bumper. Here's a quick sneak peak whilst the bumper is being flatted.

Dam you man.......dam you

Whats the Specs of the Team Dynamics wheels and tire specs greg, any pics with them on

Took these at the bottom of the Reefton while breaking in a new Advan semi-slick





I don't think the colour scheme works very well - the white with blue stripe would work better. And the 7mm less offset makes it look like the wheels are sticking out a bit. Oh well, I didn't buy them for posing

I like Greg. Fuction over form FTW. Notice any difference in handling with a lighter weight wheel?

Couldn't really tell as I've never driven with the semi-slicks on winding public roads. I couldn't tell if the reduced offset had any effect on the steering either as the semi-slicks are ridiculously better than any 'normal' tyre (that I've ever used anyway) to the point where I was chickening out (especially on right handers) well before approaching the handling limits.

They're only 1k lighter than the OEM 15" rims in any case

Finally chipped my car last week. Also fixed up the fogginess of my headlights. Gave it a good wet sanding and plastic polish by Plastx then gave it a quick wash. Now it's clean and shiny.

Wow, that was a long time coming... What alliance did you go with?

Finally fitted the forge turbo inlet and throttle body hoses. For the inlet hose I had to move the transmission cable bracket to get to the 8mm hex screw that held the hose bracket so I could get enough room. It's definitely is a b*tch of a job, it was so tight that I couldn't get the inlet pipe to line up straight so I trimmed it a bit. Everything fits really snuggly.

I can feel the car breath a bit better and the car doesn't struggle so much in the top of the rev range. TBE should arrive next week

lol. yeah I know right. GIAC. They seem to have the best value at the moment. Also installed a Forge 008 DV.

About time Adam! If you went to Arthur, well done - great customer service!

Adam, got to say that Forge DV is an awesome piece of kit just installed one in mine after having an apr 1 and added 3 pound of boost.

Finally had my wheel alignment done after fitting Eddy's inserts a while ago. Now have -0.75 camber on both sides, and +5 castor.

What do you think of them Stuwey, has it fixed the tramlining and torque steer? I bought them off Eddy and haven't fitted them, although I can't find the box that I put them in - Hopefully he still has some in stock.

Replaced the earth strap. I suspected it was dodgy for ages but it looked fine. Got the multimeter out the other day when the car wouldn't start and was reading 10.5 volts from the positive terminal to earth. Gave the strap a wiggle and was back up to 12 volts..

Hopefully no more random dash lights, radio and power steering cut outs. So far so good.
