What did you do to your Polo today?

[Buller_Scott]

Won't do too much on a stock, but works well with the chip.

it smooths out the power band on stock, and even more so on a tuned car.

this is even more so for the tdi boys.

I brought a new set so got them painted and then went to have them fitted.

Rob, looking good mate what did u get done to ur rear skirt btw it looks different?

Its the standered rear skirt but it has been painted black around the exhaust cut out then white under that hard to explain ill get more pics tomz.

Love the skirts and 2 tone rear bumper. I guess all texture had to be sanded out prior to spray?

Cheers

Nope they went 2 coats of candy white then one clear almost no sign of the texture at all.
The side skirts are nasty to fit took about 2 hours for them to pull them off and ened up destroying the old ones in the prosses.
The old doulble sided tape is strong, and the plastic is weak.

Finally, after much procrastination, had the APR reflash done by Buik's.


Wheeeeeeee

congrats, i was the same, putting it off all the time. but once you have it...theres no looking back. but now its too wet in perth to really test it.

[Matt P]

well, i TRIED to get it serviced at sydney's newest vw dealership (not naming names). I get a call 5 mins after i drop it off "oh sorry, we've never done a polo gti before, we dont have the parts for it"

awesome

[SidGTi]

That's a pretty piss poor excuse for a dealership. If they don't have parts for it they should get their act together.

Better than them keeping it for weeks while getting the parts in.

Had my 45k service done and while I was there got my EBC Greenstuff pads put on....

[VWindahouse]

So what's the verdict???? Noise, pedal feel etc.

[Ralfi]

Gave her my first wash/wax before another photoshoot.

[firdausasri]

Just installed 312mm brakes, donors from two VAG cars

VW VR6's calipers
VW VR6's caliper carriers
Audi TT's original pads (new)
Audi TT's original rotors (new)
Bendix Dot5.1 fluid

Now, just like Stuwey last time, suffering from lack of brake response while waiting for the parts to settle down. Sigh

[geoff_gti]

Made roley like a stage of the rally!!!

Ordered new pads and fluid from QFM, Awesome service from there

Good work boys, sounds like time for a 'Special Stage' through Karragullen hehe

Awesome mate. Once up to temp the bite is incredible. Coming up to a set of lights I put the brakes on forgetting that the greens were in there, and it threw both me and the girlfriend forward in our seats. There's no apparent brake fade either, the pedal feel is really good. All this only after about 60km of driving.

Also, not a sound has come from them, no sign of squeal. Maybe it's because I took the car to an industrial street and bedded them in properly. Up to 60km/h and then firm on the brakes. I did that about ten times up and down the street.

[Stuwey]

Now, just like Stuwey last time, suffering from lack of brake response while waiting for the parts to settle down. Sigh

Still is mate. Looking at upgrading the rear pads to match my rear red stuffs, possibly then the rotor/caliper to TT spec stuff to even out the hydraulic-to-mechanical ratios.

If not that, then a change of brake master cylinder.

It pulls up bloody hard, but the rear is still very light and not as 'sure-footed' as it was when standard. Not sure if i like it or not.

[PeterHBne]

The anarchist in me kinda likes the idea of a swastika in place of the VW symbol on the back and the front……..

Got Custom Code'd on the weekend, thanks to Gav. Totally different car now, don't realise how fast you are going until you look at the speedo.

Can't do enough driving at the moment. Hopefully the rain will go away so i can get better traction.
