What did you do to your Polo today?

[Plautos]

i liek those wheels mate, what are the specs and what colour are you going to paint them??

Those wheels are 18x7, made by Center Line, the model is Storm. They are forged and weight 8kg. They came polished.
I’m going to paint the spokes in black and the lips will still be polished.

Your air conditioning is climate control - did you buy purchase that as an extra?

No, it is stock.

[Plautos]

I was going to say "thats a different dash to mine" as well! Climate control ey.



Is that what that pipe weldedto the exhaust is?

The rims look the goods too.

Yes it is.
The hose came from here, and go to the valve.



This is the manual.

My air conditioning is stock, only 30 Polos GTI came to Brazil, 15 silvers and 15 reds, 10 stay with the VW for testing, 20 was sold to the public.

All the cars are the same, no options.

The idea was to offer a new line of sports car, however the Polos arrived more expensive then a Golf GTI and the New Civic SI, both produced here.

Painted!!




This is my final idea!

hey mate why don't you start you're own build thread and start it from the beginning. it appears you have/are doing quite a bit of work and it will save us interested having to look through this thread. just an idea!

[VW GTI]

That idea cross my mind...

I think I will do it.

Wilwood Forged 4 piston.

This kit is from Revolution Brakes, I had bought it a couple years ago to use in a project, unfortunately I gave up, and the parts went to the closet.

The kit is composed with 6 calipers. Four looking just like this one, however for the rear with smaller pistons and 2 small ones for the hand brake. The rear discs are the same size from the front ones.
The Polo will look like a HotWheels!!

Nailed the mother of all pot holes exiting a roundabout. It was at a point that you couldn't avoid it right at the exit point. Destroyed the wall of the tyre, and put a 20mm gash in it. May have buggered the bead of the wheel too.
Since it has been raining up here for 2 weeks, the roads have really turned to crap. I went over the same spot 2 days ago and there was no pot hole there. They are breeding like rabbits at the moment.
This pot hole was about 60cm long, 30 cm wide, and about 15 cm deep. I got photos of it, and will be pursuing Townsville City Council for damages.
On top of this I was on the way to a new job in a white shirt, so I was late for that, and I broke my glasses too...Oh well, it can only get better!!!

That's pretty nasty dude. Pothole doesn't look too bad although you can see the rain looks quite torrential indeed. How fast were you travelling when you did this and are you on stock or aftermarket suspension?

[Blitzen]

I was doing about 20km/h when i hit it due to it being very slippery, and I have semi slicks...The suspension has been lowered about 10mm due to Weitec springs, and a rear sway bar, but nothing more. I'm getting more pics of the approach to the roundabout tomorrow to show that the hole is blind till you are on top of it...There also also traffic islands close either side of the road, so if you were to go left to avoid the pot hole, you would ride up over the left island.
