What did you do to your Polo today?

[xc17ed]

Lost powersteering over the weekend. Drove back to work to top up the level. that's never a good sign. put the car up on the hoist after work only to find fluid pissing out the O/S boot... New rack will cost $1,000 with only 1 left in the country. To recondition it will cost $720 without knowing whether there is damage internally which will cost more to fix..... FML

And i have the track day on the 17th FML x2

I need new pads as well... FML x3

Try ASV in Villawood, they have done a Polo end of last year and should have a rack with 3m warranty.

We're looking at going up on the Sunday night to avoid an early morning drive on Monday. Unsure of numbers yet, but will let you know?

Going up the night before is the way to do it. We might be holidaying in the area over the weekend so it occurred to me that if someone else could bring up my car, then I could get my wife to drop me off at Winton.

Are you planning on tracking on Labour day as well?

That's the reason I'm asking

FINALLY fitted the 42DD bushes to my Forge short shifter - having to rebuild the pivot arm was annoying. Thank god I'd looked at the handy videos that Greg Roles had on this on his Carformance website.

Where as the strut tops from/are you planning on cutting the little dome for access to adjustments?

Yep, will cut the strut tops and most likely scallop/move the strut tops as well.

312mm ?

Yep

Not bagging them out, but the guys at pedders told me get any other camber tops than the Kmac. Van has them and they seem fine.
The guys at pedders said they did some on a Audi TT and they fell apart and damaged the car. Good Luck

I think I will wait and get the KW ones, even tho they are $$$

Nice to see you spending some serious cash there

OK, I'll be able to drive my car up. When are you guys leaving on Sunday and where are you staying?

Decided to take the LaminX off my headlights because they were just too dark and didnt feel it was doing any justice for the look I'm going for.

When I started peeling it off it left horrible marks and that sticky sh%t on my headlights,

So after two days of scrubbing I still couldn't get if off 100% and my lights were scratched from all the rubbing and scraping and left my lights looking all smokey and yellow.

I bit the bullet and got myself a set of GTI/Vivo(SA) headlights which iv been wanting for awhile now but was NOT keen to do the swop......

..........Mission!!!!!!!!!!

Gun-Smoked LaminX


Bumper off


Ultimate Rat.....


Old Headlights...


Bumper re-fitted (lights - off)


(Lights On, HIDs dont look green anymore...+1



Was such a mission but totally worth it,

I followed the below DIY step-by-step guide, its very well detailed. If any of you guys are wanting to remove your front bumper on a Polo 9n3....and if you guys wana install a Forge FMIC, thats in there too, lol!!

Fitted a set of Ferodo DS3000 pads to my pog.

OMG

my face feels like its peeling off everytime i hit the brake pedal. i found if i step on it harder sparks appear =)
