New GTI and first time VW Owner :) 08 Polo GTI Cup Edition

[h100vw]

Yup

Seems like my brakes are the standard size also

The japanese press release I found only mentioned the kit, the wheels and the fact there is 200 of them - 50 red and 150 black. Lol.

Not got BBU engine, small brakes. I am thinking there's a down spec car for Japan or its a normal GTI with a body kit.

I actually found the VW press release for the Japanese cup edition. It doesn't mention anything about bigger brakes or more hp like the European press release. So it is a genuine Japanese market cup edition (has the serial on the steering wheel).

Just sucks to find out now that the Japanese cup edition is different from the European one!

Also the Japanese cup edition is 5 door only whereas the European is 3 door only

Still a good looking car!
Also is a limited edition, which makes it desirable over the normal vehicle.

I'd be keen to see if the bumpers are available, would really like to get a set of those.

LOL,at least the relevant bits are readable. Like the power, engine code, wheels.......

The Japanese got ripped off there Like they did with the 90hp MK2 GTI

If you want yours to go like it should let me know, I'll fix it up for you.

Hahahah yep.

Changing the gearbox oil today.

You're in Aus aren't you? I was considering an ecu flash from torque performance here in NZ. its like $1.2k here, cheaper than APR and they actually chuck the thing on a dyno to make sure everything is all g.

$799 AUD for Phase 1.

The tunes are on lots of Polo's here. The worst you can expect is a blown coilpack or bad DV really.

A thumbs up from this NZ owner running Gavin's phase 2 CustomCode in a "sleeper" gti

If it helps it seems they are called Aristo?

The OEM wheel of Cups are called Arietta.
