What did you do to your Polo today?

[vwthunder]

Caught up with Gav and he changed the standard bushes to Superpro anti lift, which is a nice upgrade and definitely helps put the power down. Car points a lot straighter and steering feels tighter.

Here's the originals vs the superpro:

Thanks to Gav for his patience with my mechanical retardness!

I ordered some of the control arm bushes about a week ago, waiting to put them in, hope they make a big difference

Depending on what you're coming from, yes they are worth it

First time I've attached the towbar, who said polo's aren't useful!!

It definitely shows you how the crap the rest of the standard suspension is - at least that's what I've noticed now that the steering is tight.

It was Sunday so I went for a drive

Trackday tonight so I've finally fitted up a tow strap (FMIC piping so can't use OEM tow hook) and popped on a couple of tow stickers and a battery as rules require. Haven't fitted up the fire extinguisher for this one, not a requirement for this one but I'll get onto the bracket this week/weekend.

I think I'm in the market for a new clutch, 90k on the stock one and I've been beating up on it since going stage 2 which hasn't helped.

Was this the No Limits event at Barbs?

Welcome back, Scotty, even if it's only for a visit. Not sure about suspension but it only had AD08R's for tyres so I almost certainly had more grip (even with the old, failing A048Rs). I was making a lot of ground with the different line through the sweeper but on that 2nd last lap when I finally got past him, he had the 3 long straights to pull me back in so he got back past going into the esses and I wasn't going to play games holding him out since it wasn't racing.

Probably the most fun session I've done with the PoD which is why I put up the whole thing (and why no one will watch it all and see how hard I had to work to make the passes )

sorry greg, i had tunnel vision - trying to work out why the clio wasn't hitting the corners as hard as you were. When's the next track day? i've got to get camber/ wheel alignment sorted, plus i'm waiting for a custom rear anti roll bar, but once i'm set up i'd like to follow you around the track and learn some stuff.

The other issue was he was over driving a bit with my Polo climbing all over his rear - I always find it easier to chase, too

Put a deposit down on another GTI polo. Silver one this time. Picking it up next weekend

Pulled the entire intake tract seeking a leak of some sort. Didn't find one, but did manage to break a fog light in the process. The lens fell off! Haha.

Anyone got some spare fog lights for sale?
