Thinking about a full vac deletion and blocking off the startup loop, but unless I can get some code to bypass this, will remain as is.

Look I have some too
Can you tell me what they are, I have boxter calipers on 312mm disks
Are they 993 ones, look bigger guessing 330mm or something
Oh did you need to space the wheels a little, looks like i need about 1 or 2 mm to space it
Yeah, as much as pulling the rest of the stuff out of there, there just isn't any benefit for the effort of pulling it out.Quote:

who cares what the jealous ones say :) i reckon its ur car do what you want :)Quote:

good setup and also fits mk5/mk6 but with slightly larger 4 pot calipers from porsche or ferrari or alcon really.. all the same depending what you want.
and stock polo brakes imo are farken terrible. i can not believe how hard you have to put your foot down to stop!
time to do my s3 i think lol
Finally fitted my Newsouth Performace boost guage that I got at SoWo in mt vent holder... Very happy with it...
Booked my car in today for it's 60K Service. Hopefully the damage to my pocket isn't too much
next week im going to do the 70.000km service
also new rear brake pads will be installed, front was done at 60K.
Hey guys,
Finally had a spare morning and finally changed the oil/filter. Took roughly one hour, could have been shorter but took my time making sure all was done correctly (what a mess taking off the filter). Thanks to those who gave such great instructions from engine oil thread, they were invaluable.
Gave the car a drink of Castrol Edge 5w30, as it was near impossible to to source the "dealer only" Castrol SLX professional III or Mobil 1 ESP. Did track down ESP, but only available in 20L cans @ $380, gave it a miss.
Laterz.
