Big mouth again, I must keep more up to date on things.
I just saw the picture & assumed you were playing with us, that, that was your picture. OOOOOOPS again.
P.S. I'm going to shut up for a while before I dig any deeper.

In car? are they electronically adjusted? I know of tein having lil controllers but not bilstein?

Sorry, in car as in you dont have to remove the shocks out of the car for adjustment (ie - Koni's in the rear of these things) you just reach under and turn the knob!- I'm familiar with the Tien units you speak of - neat idea (DRIFTER)

Just a thought re Polo-roids. The TSI technology for the Golf GT coming out later this year ... any thoughts regarding doing a similar thing to an existing Polo GTI? If a small supercharger, set to cut-out at say 2,500 rpm were used ... it would certainly do away with any turbo lag.

It would be a blast.

theres not much lag, its not a big turbo, you just need to be in the right gear

Thanks for the tip, Glide. I'll try to keep it in mind.

Problem is ... sometimes my wife drives the car (I can hear the sharp intake of breath from here) ... and (it gets worse) ... she wants a slushbox. Might have to buy her a Toyota or something.

Hey guy - the car seems to be going great! your polo's a true inspiration to us all...

one question... how's the gearbox holding up in the pogo with all the mods and after the dutton rally?

**Guy_H** · 10-04-2007, 09:00 AM

Hey Ryan,

Gearbox is going fine - we found that with the stiffer engine mount it firmed the gearshift up & made it more positive.

This week we pull the box out to prepare it for the limited slip differential, and we will put one of our single mass flywheels on (its still running a stock flywheel with our hybrid clutch) - will be interesting to see what the clutch looks like after 8 months of abuse!

Looks like we will be taking the Polo to the NSW Dutton shortly!
