What did you do to your Polo today?

Got a "scratch" from an engineer at my work today :(

Looks like it will buff right out

Nah the door panel is warped and bent.

I've been looking at a set of these and what to know what they're like :)

Only just saw this. I'm a bit sporadic on here these days.

I got the comfort kit. I'm fairly happy. They lowered a bit without drawing too much attention. The handling definitely improved, but they are also a bit more crashy/bouncy over bumps than stock.

It's hard to review really because my only point of reference is the stock suspension. I don't regret them.

Been doing a lot of reading on engine tuning lately and the deeper I go in the more I realise the tune on my car was so awfully done

So I've decided to make my own tune, it's a really huge subject so I'm taking my time

No progress yet only been reading and comparing maps from different engines

Only fiddled with the Launch Control with negative outcome on the drag strip so far :(
Well at least I get a baseline for this tune and any future tunes should give batter time than this

A lot more reading is required to make a good tune

I got my gti tuned last night by the unequalled skills of Gavin. I thought I would get a nice performance boost... now my car is easily the most fun vehicle I have ever been in. It is nothing short of incredible in terms of additional power and torque, and if the computer is correct, slightly better fuel economy. Best money I have ever spent, I could not recommend higher.

There's a few facebook forums for tuning info, Guild of EFI tuners and high performance academy. HPA also provide tuning tutorials (at cost). I'm just not sure the differences in tuning diesels Vs petrol, could be chalk and cheese for all I know.

Thanks for that, really appreciate the kind words.

@seangti, this man wants all your cast offs if the silver car comes apart. :D

Did tie rods and tie rod ends last night. Job made super easy by using this tool that I borrowed from a mechanic mate. Hollow tube fits over the tie rod (once the tie rod end is removed), the nuts do up against the bolt faces and then you put a spanner on the end. too easy when you have the right tools. To get the tie rod off (once the boots and tie rod end removed) and new one on took no more than 5 mins. here are some pics for anyone interested.

Banged my lights that had "burnt out" and they mysteriously came back to life...
