Noone's Polo

[pixl]

Those double spoked rims are by far the best rims I've ever seen on a Polo.

Whenever I have a bit spare cash, I keep meaning to do the ECU. But I always end up buying more photography gear instead ...

Nice work all round and superbly written. Can't wait to see what you do next!

Yeah Ben, car looks grouse, I should have bought those rims lol

How do you go at keeping them clean

Ok, so due to the forum issues, a few comments were lost.

Today I made some brake pad shims to help reduce my brake noise issue, seems to have gone well.

Last Saturday I finished my catch can install. It's not the tidiest install, but I want to see what is collected before I go to a lot of effort making it a permanent feature under the bonnet.

Still playing with the new tyre pressure, 38 psi is the winner so far. Much more fun with traction control off ( well, pushing the dash button turns some elements off).

C'mon Ben, admit it you hacked some stuff so you would get a chance to talk about your car some more

You guys actually try to inform your partners about what you're doing to your cars?

I've been trying not to raise that sort of attention.
Here are some lines that I'm preparing for the future.

• Lower? I've read that the springs settle a bit on these cars over time.
• Bigger? No, the wheels just look bigger after they've been cleaned 'cos they're so much shinier.
• Bumpy? Well this is just my cheap car so it's not as nice as yours.
• Louder? Ditto.
• Faster? They say these engines get better after they run in for a while.
• Aerial? Gosh that must have been that "snap" noise I heard when I drove into that low car park
• Brake squeal? They must be a bit getting old but it can wait until the next service.

And the best one for her car will be

• The DPF is clogging and will cost over $7000 to replace. I can get it removed and the engine programmed to forget about it for lots less, though....

lmao keenage, most women only see cars by their colour and if their fast or not, other than that they got no idea at all.

My mrs is all right but she cracks it when i spend more time with my 4wheeled mistress than her lol

Your on the money with the tyre pressure. When I hit the track, I've found 38psi does wonders for cornering in the Polo GTI (Street tyres - KU36 215/45/17).
