What did you do to your Polo today?

[WHTPOLOGTI]

Had another Mac Attack today Jimmy kindly installed my dogbone mount and gave the box the Redline treatment!

Verdict - gear changes feel like I paid 3 times as much for the car!

Thanks again Jimmy.

What oil did he use to change the gearbox with?

[VWindahouse]

I think he uses Redline MTL90.

You may want to shot him a PM to confirm.

Ok guys, its MTL, which is 70W80 All Synthetic. Redline MTL extends life of Syncros 50% and is guranteed for up to 400,000ks!!!! It has an awesome coefficient of friction which is tops for rapid gear shift, reduces whine and rattles and thats a given. MT-90 is thicker of course and may be a suggested oil for the likes of high K Vr6s and the likes with an 02A box, i would use this in an 020 as well.

Nice.

Car feel any different? What rubber did you get?

Look even better if you drop it (but lower suspension with lower profile may be rough).

Kumho Ecsta SPT 205/40ZR17/84YXL the car does feel a bit differant but cant put my finger on it. not really better or worse just differant. yeah right after i finally get that rudd payment ill organise that group buy for the fmic. then suspension will be soon to follow.

wish those bloody photos turned out better , they looked fine when they were in 12mp size but 80kb is just to damn small. might have to post them agin using photo bucket.

hey man the lenzos are always a good choice- nice work.

what are you gonna do for suspension? mine is horrific- its OKAY on fast road map but on race, it just sags too much. and i hate the roll.

i cant remember do you have stock suspension scotty?
i think gti dave is organising a group buy, i was going to buy some b12 bilsteins through him after i get the krud payment and order the group buy for the forge fmic.

hey mike,

im afraid im on stock suspension at the moment. the only saving grace i have is good tires (bf goodrich g-force) otherwise my chip would be utterly useless.

Pix please Mike

I finally put in my aftermarket FK Automotive tailights. They came incorrectly wired. Rpent $160 for an auto electrician to re-wire. They let water in, had to spend $10 on sealent........oh dear..oh well I got there in the end and well
i really like the look of them.

Hard to really see from your photo but they do look quite awesome over the stock tailights. I actually can't believe how much it makes your car look like a golf from behind!
