What did you do to your Polo today?

[clicht]

took my gauges out, and put some foam in the dash to stop a rattle...rattle still remains, so next will do the same with my radio, and then the entire dash if need be...also darkened the rear lights

I dropped mine into the paint shop (Renew My Car @ Geebung) for its roof respray and bonnet buff. Felt weird to watch it being driven away by someone else! Get it back wednesday.

New Shoes

Kumho KU31's all round

will start @ 36 psi and go from there. waiting for them to cool to see what bjtm put in them.

Thanks. After a country run yesterday I agree. will up the fronts to 38 to see how it goes.

FWIW BJTM had the tyres between 37 and 41, all were different...

I have KU31s on my Golf, (18"s) BJTM Vic Park set mine up with Nitrogen and 40psi but from what I understand nitrogen runs at higher pressures anyway. Still, you'd think they would set them all the same to begin with :S

Finally got around to fitting the honeycomb grilles and the Forge TIP.

Seems to breathe easier.

settled on 38 psi front 36 rear

Just like the placard says! I do agree though.

Mine seems to have settled into its new intake pipe well, feels way better... everywhere, really. Sure doesn't run out of puff coming up to 6k.

Received a nice little envelope through the post :-



And applied it (i ordered the darkest colour possible and think it looks right on the dark car)

Fitted new whiteline LCA bushes. So much better to drive now

They were a revelation on my car too. The VW ones are well under engineered. Did you get the anti-lift ones or standard hole in the middle style?

I picked up some of the standard whiteline ones barely used a few months ago and only just had them fitted. Thought about going to the anti-lift ones but had these here already so chucked them in for now.

Took my Polo to BWA Auto to remove APR tune back to stock.
I felt like I was taking my pup in to have him desexed.
Poor Polo. I think he felt better when I told him we are going
to bolt on a big set of Frankenturbo Kuhunas soon.

SAI delete completed today. Engine bay looks so much neater now. Lets see how long before I get a light.

[blackbetty]

not quite today, more like 3 weeks ago....
changes my front brake pads and discs (from factory at 63,000kms). used a thread on this forum as a guide (but stuffed if i can find that thread now).
ended up using stock pads and discs.
the whole job took about 3 hours and that included 1 hr hunting around in my toolbox for the correct size torx thingy for the retaining screw. Original pads still had plenty of wear on them, but the little electric cable that triggered the dash warning light was broken.
