LZY13B build thread

[LZY13B]

Just picked up my first Volkswagen polo Gti today
This is how I got it with full leather and sunroof completely standard





First thing I did was take the roof racks off cos I don't like them and I think it looks cleaner without them and this is how it sits now



Not sure if I'm gonna change much on the car cos I'm still building my rx7 at the moment maybe just upgrade the sound system and clean up the wheels cos all 4 are a bit ruff and could use some paint but ill see how I go

Hey man, the car looks terrific! You picked one of the rarer colours too.

Where's that RX7 build?

[LZY13B]

Rx7 build thread is a bit much so ill just show some photos lol

Round one with a mild port motor and a knight sport high flow turbo making just over 300hp atw




Attracted to much unwanted attention being purple lol
So round 2 pearl white extended port with a to4/66 still in the build all wiring hidden holes in bay filled up and just about everything has been rebuilt or new aiming for around 400hp+ with this setup





Needed a new daily and wanted it to be fun to drive hence why I got the polo just gotta control myself and not go crazy on it like the rx7 but ill see what happens haha

[Deadpool]

Oh very nice man, that's a great looking RX7.

Do you have any MOD ideas for the GTI? Getting a Tune will make it feel like a brand new car.

[LZY13B]

Very tempted for a front mount and a tune but I still need to go over the car during the week clean it all up needs a few little touch ups here and there but ill wait till the rx7 is done then ill start playing with it
If I change much ill do mainly bolt on upgrades so I can take them off and put it back to standard if needed

[Polo GTEye N9]

Mate well done. I agree roof racks off unless your actaully using them. I have the same roof racks too.
I have not seen a blue Polo about Brisbane and they are rare. I had a choice of a Blue one on the Gold Coast and I have had our Polo GTi since 2010.

We did a long road trip in 2010, Brisbane, Dubbo, Melbourne, Tassie tour of over 4000 ks, back to Melbourne, ACT,Sydney, Brisbane. Total was 6500 ks. I am a VW fan now!

I had the choice of my MY06 WRX with 208kwatw or the Polo with 132kwatw. We did 85% of the Targa routes and the Polo was fantastic, so much fun. Too much fun actually. I was told the Tassie Police are ahhh nice.
Keep us informed how you progress.
Cheers Al

Hoyhoy.

Me also have a Little Blue Girl which has the fastest Polo time @ Wakefield.

[LZY13B]

Don't worry ill beat your time in my rx7 haha

In the polo today tho in the rain went around a round about the the tyres just slid I need to buy some new quality tyres cos there is just cheap rubbish on there at the moment most likely get kumho's and my mate is also excited 2 paint up my wheels clean up some of the marks so ill most likely pull them off maybe next month when I'm on holidays and clean them up a bit

mate nice colour, but you might want to read eddy's times before saying that

[LZY13B]

Lol yeah just joking around I'm not much for the track more of a cruiser but also have my brother 9 second 550hp+ rx7 that I'm tempted 2 take out sometime but it kind scares me drove it once and never again haha

Seeing as I need new tyres and my wheels need some repairs I think it will be easier just to buy new wheels but just looking there are not many options in our offset so I'm just on the hunt for something neat most likely just 17s not gonna go over board just yet cos I'm driving this daily

[LZY13B]

Ok started to detail the car and cleaning up under the bonnet and brought the shine back



I gotta say I had never seen such a filthy engine bay on any car mission of a cleaning job and got my first cut of many to come from this car I'm sure haha and seeing as this car was always serviced at Volkswagen I was shocked when I look down in the front bar and noticed some round thing not sure what it was maybe something to do with the aircon just hanging there not clipped in bouncing around near the fan

Also noticed that the tappets are making a lot of noise so ill change the oil soon and see if that helps and pray this car is not gonna cost me more than my rx7 lol

[nightphotographer]

Ahhhh so that's what a stock engine bay looks like!

Lesson number 1: just cos it's been to VW for servicing doesn't give any more piece of mind that the jobs been done right. Unfortunately the quality of the workmanship varies significantly between dealerships.

[LZY13B]

Yeah thanks mate I don't really trust many people working on my cars so ill be doing servicing myself and I have a few mechanic mates to help on the jobs I can't do
