Little Red Devil

[VWindahouse]

Hey there guys, I have been wanting to introduce you to my little red pride and joy for ages and I finally found some time to post up. I have had my GTI for almost three years now and I can't get enough of it and the VAG culture I have found on the forum! Spending so much time on this forum and on the net researching has been a massive thorn in side of my relationship, but I have promised my girlfriend that my modding journey is almost at an end 'cough, cough'.

Just a couple shoutouts first all to Shane (shaneth) for helping me out with heaps of stuff on the Polo (group buys, parts, golden advise & for getting me in contact with Jimmy & Gavin). Gavin from Custom Code for a great product and for flying all round the country side to feed my need for speed. Greg from gslrallysport for the brake pads and rotors, great service and great prices. And last but certainly not least Jimmy Mac from Alba European. My little beast has probably spent 1/3 of its life at Jimmys getting the royal treatment. Mate your attention to detail, care, customer & quality of service are second to none!

Thanks mate! I got it off Ebay from a German seller. I think they are all out now from memory, sorry.

Here are some of the gauge senders and Jimmys stealth like install under the hood, the two pics on the left show the fuel pressure sender. The other two are the oil pressure and boost senders.

Mate looking sweet, now get it out to the drags

Great stuff. Any reason for using Redline MT90 rather than MTL (what's usually recommended, I think) in the gearbox?
