What did you do to your Polo today?

We'll rewire the starter motor to run all the time, sorted!

I meant to go to the dyno day and forgot it was even on, useless.

My son is now looking for a turbo conversion for the 1.4 ..........any suggestions?

Be much more sensible to buy a quicker car, unfortunately. Or maybe convert to 1.6?

Speaking of, check your inbox.

Good man, you wont get better bang=buck and support.

Before you even start, if your spark plugs are over 10,000kms old, replace them (cost me <$20) and the extra timing and power needs everything working at its prime.

Which model? If youre really up for a DIY the 1.8T's go for a few grand, if you're paying someone for the work, our cars (9N3 GTI's) got for 12-13 stock or 13-15 modded. Obviously changes with kms, age and condition, but they're pretty decent once tuned.

So I've done quite a lot lately but unfortunately haven't uploaded any photos.

Till said photos are loaded, here's what's gone down lately with BFLAT.

New MKV Golf GTI Edition 30 steering wheel went in: Much nicer to hold, makes quick flicks easier with it's 'non-round' design if that makes sense.

Seat Sport strut brace: Hello oversteer. Was easy enough to install and has made the front end so much more planted.

Rhino Racks with Thule fairing and 2 Thule bike carriers. Bike Carriers aren't on just yet but the racks and fairing are up and look very smart.

Gav delivered the very special and affordable foot rest cover tonight so I'll get that on in a couple of days.

More things to come, but you guys will have to wait

Plastidipped my rims over the weekend:



I'm also trying to sell my car but haven't had much luck so far!

Found my coolant leak!

Turns out that it was due to a badly clocked hose clamp which had rubbed through another hose close by I suspect it was like that from delivery . But at least it wasn't a radiator leak due to my crash (which is what I'd feared).

Glad you got them ok and are happy

Spent almost 3 hours pulling apart my engine bay to get my ECU out and a flashed loaner in. May or may not have been on the phone to Gavin a few times for advice too.

The end result is this:

Pretty sure it's the first time I've ever had wheelspin in my car too, which was repeated pretty quickly as I learnt the ins and out of the cars new power.

Best result, ~105kph in 5th, revs at 2500, foot to the floor and the power just flows. No more down shifting for quick highway overtakes for me now.

Enjoy that torque my friend, it's addictive as hell

[flat6]

Surprised you could wait until 50k to get it, haha longest I could wait was 8k after getting the car, never looked back from there on, still managed to get 40k out of my tires to , just watch out for that first gear, tire muncher

Removing the ECU was a pain (had to grind the nuts off - damn security)
CC phase 1 is a lot of fun, such a different feel to stock.

Do you have any supporting mods?

[Stuwey]

Ordered some new coilovers.

aaaaaand entered it in the Adelaide Targa for the Wednesday night Super Special Stage in August.

Eeek!
