Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

      that's quite a coincidence, as i have been biding my time and pondering what reasonably priced setup i could get for the pog, either in the way of a well matched damper+spring setup, or decent coilies (adjustable, though my budget wouldnt stretch to something like kw v3 etc..).

      two brands that piqued my interest were koni and FK.

      were the FK's exxxy, josh?

          FK's were very reasonably priced!!! I got the highsports which is one up on the Streetline's.

              • been a lurker on the 9n3 forums the past 2 months. purchased it as a daily drive till another golf driveaway promo came up. didnt realise that it would come up again so soon.

                i cant believe that my 'hello' post could also be my last

                i have just put a deposit on a my12 golf gti. so my polo gti will be up for sale soon.

                in the past 2 months ive done the following to the black polo

                apr tune
                seat intake
                forge dv
                forge turbo intake (this was a bitch to install)
                forge intercooled to diverter hose

                boxed new, still to be installed
                seat bushes

                • well, if you like the Polo, why spend a whole lotta cash on a more expensive car?
                  On saying that, I'd take a new GTI over my Polo if money was no object.

                  • the new car was always in the equation. i just missed out on the driveaway deals mid year.

                    the polo was meant to be a temp. which it was; albeit 2 months.

                      sick. im looking forward to seeing pics for sure - fk's appeal to me also because not many peeps are running them over here.

                      do you mean that it was going to be a temp whilst you wait the ~12 months for your gti to be delivered or something?

                      or do you mean you committed yourself mentally to getting on in a driveaway deal, so you're having trouble letting go of that concept even though you're having fun in the polo?

                      im not sure i understand this clearly ..... why do more mods to your polo than the average joe, and in such a short period of time, only to sell it and spend more money on something that will be slower, until you spend more money to get the golf to be as fast as the tuned polo was in the first place?

                        • Went around Winton and did a 1:47...was trying to break into the 1:46s until my intercooler hose popped off and I decided to call it a day.

                          Also managed to melt my rear valance onto my exhaust...

                            • Damn man. I have the Milltek as well and it sits just as close to the rear valance plastic as yours. No heat problems or melting yet though.

                              • Yeah, I've had it on for a good year or so now and hadn't had any problems up until hitting the track. The tips also started to turn gold with the high temps which I think looks kinda cool..

                                Does anyone rate this? I still can't decide if it looks good or if its too ricey...
