Thanks Clay!

Yes just got off the phone to Mark and great news!!!! The machining of the rear housing is finished and they have sent off the bearing housing to be anodized. So when it gets back next week I can pick it up

He said I will see and I quote "a very large increase in power"

Well hopefully the suspension upgrades will help you get that power to the ground.

So gave it all really good test by accelerating very hard into and through a very sharp turn and the got some sliding oversteer from the rear end but it was easily corrected and controlled. I think the reason I didn't experience any snap oversteer is because I didn't let off the accelerator however I can see how you can easily get into trouble.

That sounds promising. I don't mind a little all-paw sliding on the track, particularly on the slower corners, probably not as comfortable on the dog leg on the straight though.

Very true mate! Will you have your new brake setup sorted for the next happy laps?

only if I pull my finger out... haha. I should get it done rather than procrastinate. I also need (and saw you're selling) to replace my front sway bar mounts. They are knocking a little. Your front brakes are from a TT aren't they? You selling the whole set-up (rotors, calipers and pads)?

It's the rears that are from the TT bud. The front are standard size of 288mm but are RDA slotted jobs with TWR pads all from Greg. I want some 312mm rotors soon with Porsche calipers so will be selling the existing rotors and pads cheap. If your interested in the end links I can do a little better on price because I can drop those puppies off

If your gonna hit the track often I would consider rotors bigger than 312mm they just don't last. I'm gonna see up for the ecs Stage1 like troys

Believe it or not the 288mm rotors have held up exceptionally well so far with about 6 or 7 track outings plus daily use. I think it must be the fact that the Polo is so light from factory at 1139kgs (kerb weight) and on top of that I have pulled out almost 100kgs from that

Plus upgrading the rear brakes from those pissant little OE rotors to the 256mm Audi ones has meant the brake bias has evened out and must be taking some of the work from the fronts.
