What did you do to your Polo today?

[noone]

Thanks for speaking up Gav, have been very helpful with all my questions. It can be hard to find people willing to talk meaningfully about it.

I've been logging for a while and my car seems to be very solid, but not pushing potential of all the mods. There is not a lot I can change at this stage other than advancing the timing in the software.

If there are enough interested parties running APR stage 1, we may be able to get a V-Tune enabled file for the Polo enabling you to make minor adjustments to boost, etc, without having to open the hood.

I heard a lot of people on the Vortex are using lemmiwinks

I dont know much about all of this, might do a bit of research
Noone you seem to always know that is going on lol

This has a bit of info, guessing the Vtune is the same idea

Oh I didnt even know about V-tune, just downloaded it from the site

Not game to play with it yet, thats your job Noone

[noone]

Lol! Thanks mate.

V-Tune is not compatible with the Polo's tune. If there are enough interested parties then they may do a V-Tune compatible code for us.

Think I'll start a new thread about all this, I think its good information to have, even if you dont use it...

forge bling

I have a big pile of forge bling waiting for my pog at Jimmy's

Strut brace, TIP and IC pipework, diverter valve and FMIC

I am hoping to get the dump pipe done soon.

Had the brake fluid (Martini) and the control arm bushes done by Jimmy today.

Booked in for a wheel alignment on Tuesday, then she's all done. The end of the mod's for me!

Ok heres how my thursday night turned out.

Went late night shopping whilst using my dads old A4. When i got home i decided to adjust the headlights because I couldn't see anything at night. Went for a test drive BAM! Misfire. Great. Everyone is closed tomorrow..., just my luck.

Later i was invited to go late night fishing near gladesville, nice and close. Took the good ol' POG out [ sat around 2 weeks from dead battery ] and heard an unusually loud noise whilst reversing out the driveway. went for a small road test. still there. drove to gladesville [10min] noise still there. Fished away think what that sound may be. Got back into the car, started her up BAAAARRRRRRPPPPP!!!! and a woft of exhaust fume bellowed from under the car. NOO!!! failed downpipe/exhaust
Limped home, No Boost = No Fun

All this before good friday.... Happy safe Easter everyone

does APR have a 12 month warranty on their downpipes?

Welcome to the dark side. When you get over the power, you can start looking at how to make the car stick.

Def the downpipe? Sounds very odd, could it be the flange to the turbo Jmac keeps seeing come loose?

Feels better, haven't really given it much though. Taking it easy while these tyres are still new and pre wheel alignment.

Speaking of that bigger fish, it will be in my driveway next week

No boost?? Sounds like a failed turbo/exhaust manifold gasket...

I just had my APR downpipe fixed on wednesday

Yes they have a 12 month warranty, which i guess isnt very long
