What did you do to your Polo today?

[GoLfMan]

Got 600kms out of a single tank over the weekend from Sydney > Hunter Valley and back. Averaged something like 7.5L/100 and that was giving it some stick every now and again

my WORST economy I have ever got is 7.2L/100 and that was a spirited drive through the hills!

got 6.8L/100 last half tank. Lets just say I don't baby it (acceleration wise, speed limits ARE adhered too as I like my licence too much)

Damn and i thought i did really well! Haha. I love that the car has got plenty of balls when i need it but can also be super economical. My coilovers DID NOT like some of the roads in the Hunter Valley though. Some atrocious stretches full of potholes that juggled my intestines.

Properly secured my fire extinguisher

if you had my old HT's you would have been an inch shorter when you finished the journey from the compressed spine.....

I got new coilpacks. Car feels a little more responsive off boost, but could easily be a placebo. Either way, it's nice to get free new parts.

About two weeks ago I replaced the worn standard Continental tyres with Bridgestone RE001 Adrenalins.

The left front was almost bald; the others about 85% worn down to the legal limit.
The car is now a fair bit quieter, and so far I'm very happy with these tyres. Good adhesion in the wet. I drive the car in a fairly spirited fashion on the road, no track or racing though. Cost was $220 per corner.

LOTS of placebo mods to be had with vw's, lol.

best one i can think of to date (for me): BMC panel filter. $120 (or something) from autobarn, did sweet fck all for my car, apart from allow the BMC (un)filtered air to act as a sandblaster for my engine for 25,000km's.

Got my window shields delivered. If I can drag myself off the couch I might fit them tonight.

I finished preparing my lower honeycomb grills for installation, hopefully tomorrow I can get them installed.



That's probably about 10 hours worth of work, mainly because I had to do it in small sections whilst watching TV, since I quickly formed some blisters on my fingers from a crappy stanley knife. All in all, they look a hell of a lot better now.

Hats off to you warfuric, I nearly went insane before finishing the Left one lol, the right one only has the horn and air temp sensor behind it, no real extra airflow to the engine bay there

Put on a Pod filter and mini pod filter. The induction noise is totally different.

ECU will take a bit to adapt I think.
