Might be upgrading my fronts soon if your keen for some GTI rotors and calipers?

Thanks but the caliper mounts are totally different so it's a big job converting - there was a set floating around down here for this reason
Plus they'd foul my 14" daily rims

What did you do to your Polo today?
Went for my first proper drive in a while, up around the old Pacific Hwy, north of Hornsby.
Polo was on form, from the new drop links, shortened rear bump stops, Seat FMIC. Third gear is lovelyLast edited by noone; 10-11-2012, 02:02 PM.Comment

It's been raining in the Sunshine (my arse) state today. The TC in the Polo has been getting a full workout. It spins in 3rd and even 4th at over 100kmh!
Not sure if I should be pleased or shopping for some tyres???

And this is why I had to bail earlyOriginally posted by kaanage View PostI ruined my front brakes (pads and rotors) at Sandown yesterday
The other side was just as bad
So I replaced them with my OE pads (center)
that I baked on my first track day - the new pads (one on on the right) will go in when my new slotted rotors arrive.Last edited by kaanage; 12-11-2012, 11:39 AM.Resident grumpy old fart

Went in fine. Had to source the new elbow (got one easy at Autobarn) and then had to try and find the 75mm long downpipe/joiner to the elbow. Got very, very lucky as we were having no luck finding some anywhere (everything is shut at 2:00 on a Saturday it seems). Dean at Volkwerke came to the rescue with a piece of pipe laying around. It was that very pipe, however, that blew out on the first full boost run (it was the only one we left a stock clip on) so we did it up a whole lot tighter with a real clamp haha. My mate documented the whole affair with his SLR so when he sends me those I'll post them up.Comment
