you are taking a stab in the dark with different model wheels unless you have a template of either the wheel or the brake, or can physically fit them.
im going to do a write up one day with lots of pictures and diagrams to explain why one day because no one seems to take this is every time I write this and explain why.
Yep I have found a few sets that fit, mostly 5 spoke design as the spokes are not flat and usualy buldge out which gives clearance for caliper and wheel bolts of they are 3 pieceQuote:

So got one side of the brake downgrade done last night - finishing the other side tonight. Just wondering if anyone knew the torque settings for the carrier and caliper?
Looking in the book i had for my MK3 it says Carrier 125Nm (92ft-lb)Quote:

Gearbox oil - was going to run redline as I've read that's the most appropriate. Is there a specific sort/grade and where to get it from? Can't recall seeing it in supercheap, etc.
Will see VW for a geniune oil filter and sump plug.
That's all I need isn't it?
Also still waiting on all my new brake stuff to arrive (ordered 2 weeks ago :(), than ready to hit QR and Lakeside sprints to claim the fastest K03 turbo polo. :cookie: bit of tongue in cheek there. I know there's much faster getting around, but hoping to be the first with official times :-)
I use that Mobil, no complaints.
I use redline, depending on how old your vehicle is MTL & MT90 (can't remember which one is better for what age)
If you're tracking, think about brake fluids to work with your new toys.
