ACT noob says hi

[Timbo]

Hi all, I've been looking for a site where I can discuss my Polo GTI without the topics degenerating into a mush, as can be the case in another place

Hope my expectations might sometimes be met here

Purchased a Red GTI with leather and sunroof back in June, and am very happy with it. Also have an iPod connection and Nokia b/t car kit plumbed into the stereo. Replaced the stock brake pads with EBC Greens for a bit more bite and a little less dust.

Moved to the Polo after 3 years of fun with an RX-8, where I played an active part in forums.

I'm keen to try some track days and will also be doing some subtle mods to the car in coming months so I'm eager to learn from those who have gone before me (and perhaps blaze a few trails myself)

Hi Timbo

Welcome to the forum! As a fellow ACT (well Queanbeyan actually!) person and also the owner of a red GTI I am sure I have seen u out and about.

Have you reflashed your ECU yet? Can highly recommend it!

If u haven't u can always have a quick drive of mine to feel the difference!

[Timbo]

Thanks for the welcome, everyone.

pgti_of, you probably have seen me. I work over in Fyshwick, so am usually to be found running along Canberra Ave or Dairy Flat Rd.

Yes, a reflash is on my agenda, so I am very interested to compare

[pologti_oldfart]

Cool
We will have to organise a get together then!

Sounds like a great idea. I'm always up for a 'spirited' drive in the proper, safe circumstances

Have you tracked yours at all? I have a mate in Sydney with an Oettinger flash. We both tracked at Wakefield before and would look forward to something again
