What did you do to your Polo today?

Nice one Johan, they're great upgrades! I noticed the polo was more rev happy with the ECS pulley and the engine seemed to rev harder with the colder plugs also. Did mine separately so you're getting a whole lot of love doing them at the same time :eek:
And I also recommend getting a Verdict Motorsport O2J aluminium shift bracket bushings to complement the 42 DD shift cable bushings. Gear changes feel more like an exotic car now!

And the short shifter IMO, did that last, all the changes were positive to me.

Sadly my new brake rotors arrived too late to make it to Jimmy, but they are here now, so I'll pop them on this weekend.

Great result then, where did you get your 42DD gear linkage bushes and what $$$? Cheers Al

From Greg Roles. carformance

Yeah must admit the gears felt really good Johan, im not that keen on quick shift though, seen to much carnage with over throw and stuffed syncros, worst case was an RS4 wagon i had to rebuild the box at Audi centre Brisbane, nightmate job as we had half the tooling. Young fella had his dads RS4 for the weekend and killed it. Quick shift if you know whats going on for sure though. Nicest quick shift ive felt on a dub was Trezzas R32 Mk4 if you remember it, it was tops!!!!!!

tyre rotation and 4 new BKR7E

Upon closer inspection it looks like my brakes has about 3000km still left in them, so these will wait a bit before fitting ....

Well said Jimmy, appreciate your wisdom and experience. I will be looking at the upgrades to shifter apart from the quick shifter.
Cheers Al

Just ordered some green filter cleaner and oil and EBC 288mm discs + Redstuff pads to do a brake downgrade - new wheels won't show off my brakes like the Cayennes did so figured I'd go back to stock and get rid of the Porsche 4 Pots.

Replaced the air filter with thanks to
