Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled
After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.
Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

Didn't think the middle was one really going to do that much, it just bolts into the middle part of the exhaust tunnel which isnt really a load bearing area of the car I would've thought.. -
The intention would be to stop the car "unfolding" across the tunnel when one side of the car is vertically loaded (ie the outside wheels supporting most of the car's weight in a corner). Dunno how much it would help, off hand.
Maybe we could coax one of the Malaysian Polo owners (nikinaz?) to comment.Resident grumpy old fart

Yesterday and today I replaced all four disks and pads with Brembo Max disks and Brembo Sport Track Road HP pads.
I replaced the dog-bone mount bush which was totally stuffed with a Powerflex Polyurethane bush.
Installed a Forge DV008 with the yellow spring.
Installed a Seat PD160 intake hose.
Didn't get a chance to install boost gauge or intercooler.
Lots more work to do but it's starting to feel alot better already.Comment

Just found this on the UR site. It shows the difference between some fake products that are circulating. I hope not but it would explain the poor fitment you experienced.Originally posted by jasonc23 View PostNah not really, it probably only sits an extra 2-3cm down from the subframe so it's not too bad. Saying that I drive pretty slow over speedbumps haha...
Warning - the fitment with the Ultra Racing stuff isn't 100% spot on (on the front brace I had to drill out the bolt holes as they were two small and grind a few mm off the mounting points to get it to sit correctly, the rear required some rater large washers to get it to sit flush as the holes are massive!)
But now I can three wheel everywhere due to the added stiffness (on the track, going up driveways
)
Genuine Ultra Racing vs Imitations productsComment

Yeah, I've seen that before. In saying that, I'm fairly certain my stuff is legit...it looks identical to the one that is marked as "real" and has the identical serial number and barcode stickers etc.
It even had an engraved UR metal sticker that would be pretty damn hard to fake...never know though haha. Also the ebay seller was a power seller with 99.x% positive so that gave me some reassurance.Comment

Ah sweet, sounds like the real deal! Would anyone else be interested in a group buy for some of the UR stuff?Comment

Yes mate, been on their site, ebay and ebay malaysia this morning. Certainly keen to understand pricing and what's available. I need to do rear brakes and upgrade front pads, so weighing up where and when to spend some money.Originally posted by VWindahouse View Post
The most I drive it these days is for the track days... good to keep mileage down but defeats the purpose
