Love the part about blood in our viens, not many car as mad as us.
Going to try to tidy up the engine bay a little more then later on a roll cage and seats (maybe 997 hardback seats), hopefully, but that is big $$$$

i have done a hundred times and at speed 120-130 with the semi's, but when I changed to the show wheels she no stick to the ground anymore,

Nice to hear from you, Van. Sorry to hear from you in this manner, though.

Yeah, the difference in grip between semi-slicks and any normal tyre is mind boggling. What semi-slicks do you run?
And do you have an LSD or TBD? One of those is on my list for upcoming mods.

Given your comments in the disco potato thread, I'd seriously look at a Wavetrac or Peloquin (expensive but feasible, unlike the 4-motion).

Do you (or anyone else) run boost and EGT gauges and if so, are there any to avoid (looking at Auto Meter for boost)?

[ssman]

Changing to a auto meterphantom 35lbs boost guage, should be here this week, as for pyro I happy with my intake temps and the 3" custom exhaust to get the temps out, even after a full throttle blast the intake manifold is cool as.

I was looking at the Z series version of the same gauge (2616) since I also want a 35 psi max reading.

VNT's are more sensitive to high temps so an EGT will be an absolute necessity for me along with the boost gauge.

where did you get the exhaust done...is it 3" straight through; how does it sound ?

[clicht]

had a rattle is my dash..stripped the dash, and fastened all screws, bolts etc with locktite. Put it all together expecting it sorted...drove the car and still have a rattle...seems to be coming frmo the center console, perhasp the raadio or gauges...will have to strip the console again, aaarrgh

[VWindahouse]

Nothing worse mate! I've hunted down a few rattles lately myself. The one from the dash was actually one of the little clips in glove-box lid that is meant to hold a pen has loose. No way of tightening it so ripped the little bastard out Now to sort the vibration coming from the fuel pump lid!

[noone]

Yeah, been in the dash a few times... get off your bump stops and stay out of the sun...

I ruined my front brakes (pads and rotors) at Sandown yesterday

Anyone done a big brake upgrade on their non-GTi Polo and have the OE rotors?
