What did you do to your Polo today?

There are a set of chicanes in Noranda that I occasionally go through on the way to work

Standard bushes, 70kmh avg

Superpro bushes, 80kmh avg

Speaks for itself

Its a nice change hey. I found that axle tramp was reduced and traction under power alot better. Now put some street semi's on the front. R1R and AD08R's fit the stock rim and the steering starts to actually give feedback.

Had R1R and they were rubbish compared to what's on now (RE002)

I've got KU39's on the fronts. They still light up in 1st, but definitely less axle tramp.

Trying to decide whether I need shocks and springs or whether this is enough.

Need intercooler too. Had a few hot days which just kill power....

Made two good fog lights out of four average ones. Had a fiddle with the car whilst in the garage.

Anyone else noticed a reasonable clunk from the steering rack if you wobble the steering wheel whilst at full lock? I can feel the rack moving!

Havent tried the R1R, but advans are great. Tread wear rating was just too soft on the R1R's for the street. Good to hear RE002's are up to it....was considering them if I go back to a street tyre. My Dunlops were good but wore ridiculously fast.

Those wheel look large, what size? What prompted the change of car/colour?

Purely because a close friend of mine was wanting mine and wanted to go no further with mods other then what I had done and loves the red. I liked the red but was looking for a white or silver from day one but couldn't find one at the time of buying the red one. I also wanted leather interior but couldn't find it until this one popped up and was at a great price, so I couldn't resist!

It's stock currently but booked in for its downpipe this Friday followed by the Phase 2 tune on Saturday by Gav. (only ever had phase 1 on the red one so I'm excited to see the difference)

Rims are 17", I agree they do look bigger then that though! Brand new set of Dunlop SP Sport Maxx all round.

I got 20k out of the R1Rs on the road, I didn't mind that as I beat up on it a fair bit but they were just slippery, vague tyres from the onset.

RE002 have been good so far with about 5k of road and a track day through them.
