What did you do to your Polo today?

[jasonc23]

Was showing a mate my new GIAC reflash and decided to do a short 3rd gear burst up to 120 on a deserted stretch of hwy...low and behold a cop was parked behind a tree at that exact spot.

So after a leisurely 30 minute cruise under the speed limit, 4 seconds of boost cost me 234 bucks and a few demerits...Luckily he was a nice cop and downgraded my speed so my license didn't get suspended for a month...

I guess I deserve it...

don't worry it won't be the last time your car will get you in trouble

Probably just fuel tbh. Tapping into your reg line wont cause you any dramas. Are you running the colder plugs?
Jmac

Yeah, running BKUR7ET's at a .28 gap.

I'll start with the fuel filter (seeing it's due in another 5,000 and cheap and easy to do) and see how I go.

Edit: The rare pinging was occurring prior to the plug change, and has become no more or less frequent since the change. Pretty sure its fuel/fuel filter/injector related.

What did I do to my Polo today? Just got in and drove to my first job and back.

I have now done just under 10,000k's since I got it on the 4th December last year. It is still in the early days of our relationship so the not quite perfect things haven't started to bug me yet. God I enjoy driving it. Had Jmac chip it just after I got it and I just lurve the way that it accelerates.

Downside is that my Bora 4Mo just seems slow to me now.

The car is quick but being a small car so you do notice how fast you're going. It's addictive and that's why its so fun to drive.

Had the wheel alignment done today. Whatever he's done has made a phenomenal difference to turn-in - feels like it's on rails even more so now and the new tyres have mountains of grip.

Very very happy!

Think you might find its the bushes mate, the alignment was par for the course, when you do the bushes the alignkment is all over the shop then when its aligned then you get to see the result, and speaks for itself

I just came back from seeing my TT's painted up.

THEY LOOK FREAKING AMAZING!!! I hated myself for not having my camera on me.

I get to pick them up tomorrow, then get new rubber or my old rubber transferred across on Monday / Tuesday.

So happy after the huge ordeal of cleaning and prepping them.

Looking forward to seeing them! Actually, I think it was your thread which got me thinking of getting my Denvers done in shadow chrome. Reckon I could pull it off on a black car?

[noone]

They're in and looking good.

I've put some pics of them in the wheels thread
