I miss the Polo Gti

[Tim]

Exactly.. Like I said post up the inspection report. the suspension was stock at time of sale.. APR has done all the mods at premium prices..

Looks like VW thunder has exposed himself as the spring hacker..

Troy hasnt said that you cut the springs. He has said that they had been cut. Accusing him of doing it is a bit rich. The car was low when he bought it from you.
Not long after troy got the car. He brought it around to show it off to me and we had a look at the springs. At that point it was my opinion that they had been cut. (jagged edge on the stock looking springs)

So. The only options are. VW supplied the car with the springs cut from the factory or a previous owner cut them. If you werent the first owner of the car then perhaps it was done without your knowledge.

Troy has had a few problems I dont think he said they were your fault. Its everyone else that seems to be giving you a hard time, not him.. So perhaps direct your abuse that way.

Hey by saying the car had a few issues is very ambiguous and so supports others wishing to give me a hard time. If you say something be clear about it. The ambiguous nature of these supposed issues implies that I knew about them and delivered the car in a bad state. thats not the case..

1. Post up the inspection report
2. Describe these "issues"

If you follow Troys thread about the car he has clearly stated that the performance of the car dropped off after he took delivery of it. Then he has gone through the process of diagnosing the problems. So once again.. The fact that you are having issues with other forum members should be a separate issue. I dont really have any interest in it to be honest. Just be careful what you say about Troy because youre talking trash.

I have nothing against troy or others on here.

But when troy says something ambiguous, it fuels others to have a go at me.

For instance, earlier complained that the boost was irregular. Later diagnosed to be a faulty APR dump pipe, where the welds had failed during his drive from sydney to Melbourne. This is an APR warranty issue and no way a fault of my own. I paid some $1300 for the dump pipe and cat to be right..

Again, before diagnosing the dump pipe to be the boosting problem, it was blamed on the industrial air tap fitted to the car. When open the industrial air tap capable of holding 150psi acts like a regular hose in its place. Cannot cause any issue to the car. I was condemned for this. We know it was the APR dump pipe being faulty, nothing to do with the air tap.. But the experts on here tried to blame that and made troy remove it.

Now the springs. Troy is agin shooting from the hip. I sold the car with stock suspension, the inspection report will confirm this. Why would I hack up the springs when you know ive spent the right $$$$ for the best mods on that car?????????????

Dude. I dont want to argue with you. But seriously Troy is just calling it as it is.
Here is a pic of your car from a thread that you started when you were selling your car whilst it was still in your posession



here is a pic of a polo gti at standard ride height



Continue to argue all you want. Youre either lying or stupid.

Looks lower than H&R springs, infact its not far off what my Coilovers achieve in terms of looks.

I'd be interested to see how it goes with that setup, not going to go back now, but how bad can it be?

Hey guys, we all like to take the pi55 out of Petrina and enjoy his threads, but if the car was checked out thoroughly when it was sold (by the new owner and a mechanic), any further banter about him selling a dud car or doing poor performance mods is totally irrelevent and misdirected. If he says he assumed the suspension was stock, than we must take him at his word. The numerous threads about how bad it handled would support his lack of awareness of the cut springs and support that it was done prior to his ownership.

In this case, I think we need to cut the bloke a break.

[Flaps]

Maybe it was driven on the track in Spain and ruined the springs?

[mikepologti]

i agree with both sean and sharkie , fun is fun but this thread is going nowhere fast. it is no longer a thread based on how someone has missed there polo but a thread based on how best to take the pi$$ out of someone, something this forum (as far as i know) tries to avoid regardless of weather the person or persons involved deserved it or not. seriously guys this isn't vortex, lets not turn the polo section into something that resembles it.
