What did you do to your Polo today?

Did a quick 0-100 clip of the gti. Excuse the movement of the camera, couldn't get it secured properly.

Nice Clip, about 6 Sec average?

Which mods?

[louis19]

Yeah when I tried timing a few times I got around a 6 sec average? Only mods are stage 1 Harding Performance Tune. Everything else is stock for now

Clay bar'd the car today - first time ever using a clay bar and am impressed... Gotta wax it tomorrow

If you know a suitablly flat and safe location for some runs, would be happy to catch up and bring my GPS timer for some accurate numbers. Gotta get some benchmark times, and practice on my red one.

Polo serviced and the new ecs stage 1 clutch (15lbs flywheel) installed over the last few days. Finally drove it tonight, and what a difference. Going to take some getting used to for the clutch. Previously it had a nice range of motion, now it's foot to the floor and engage on 1 inch of release... Fun times ahead.

KU39's ordered sick of wheelspinning on 3/4 throttle in first in the dry! Stupid cheapo federal m+s tyres.

My 595RSR were great new, now theyre 2/3 done, not so good.

What sort of mileage did you get out of the rsrs?

I'm considering getting a more mainstream commuter to bring tyre noise down, but if I can get a decent performance tyre to last a bit I'll consider them. At $230 fitted local I'd want them to be pretty good.

The tyres are the least of my noise concern but Bridgestone RE002 Adrenalines I have on the Squib are pretty good. Can't tell you the exact mileage they have done but he has done 33000km since I got him and I didn't go too far before fitting the tyres.

My guess is well over 25k. I swapped them front to back about 2 months ago, the fronts were maybe half worn? 2 trackdays and 500km a week commuting on the highway. Not frightened to use the loud pedal.

The re002s get better reviews than the rsrs, good enough for me.

What size you go with, try anything wider?

[h100vw]

Running std ones on mine, at 40PSI though. They don't roll over so much I have found. Although they might be considered a bit crashy because of the pressure, on the road.

At Lakeside/QR if you don't blow them up, they chew the outsides. The last outing a couple of weeks back, there was no sign at all of any wear at the front although the rears seemed to be rolling up like a slick does, maybe due to being too light at the back and sliding a bit?

I picked up the RE002's in Jan, done about 6000k on them, great set so far and get the power to the ground!

I usually run them around 36 - 37psi, at 32 - 33 they felt a little heavy, what are you guys running them at?

34 to 36 on the street and 38-40 on the track. 38 felt fine for our happy lap sessions, though you rarely get a clear and committed lap, would go 40 if i was doing sprints, but purely for piece of mind. I found the behaviour quite stable on the track, they didnt get mushy as quickly as the ku31's I had prior. Would put comparable to the continentals, but not roll the sidewall as much when loaded. Plenty of grip for street driving.

Mine have done about 10,000kms and plenty left in em.

Not sure TBH, they're still going, just don't feel as nice as they did. They have probably hardened due to cycles and age (1.5 years) more than use. I also tend to expect they'll grip at the lights when sometimes they're not warm, so not really a good opinion to go on. for ~$200 they were great for the 1st year.
