Installed my new Seat air intake and gave it a good wash, amazed how clean it still comes up after 3 years..
The air intake seems to make it go a bit harder, but i'm still experiencing a bit of rollercoaster surge in 3rd gear.. not quite as much as before and haven't had a good chance to test it yet so see how we go. Cheers Shaneth for the write up in the DIY, so simple to install.. thanks mate.
Anywho she'll get a good country road test driving down to Margaret River tomorrow morning for my extended long weekend![]()
Stage II Scirocco R
Previous: Stage I Polo GTI
I picked mine up off Ebay for around $160 (cant remember exactly, might have been even cheaper).
The guy selling it wanted to use it on his 5L V8 but after testing it he said it was too small for his application. The thing was basically brand new, not a mark on it and the filter its self was spotless.
If you keep an eye out they do turn up everynow and then. But you also have to be patient.
Took the polo on a longggg, longggg cruise - 400km round trip. Was very bumpy at times but very fun![]()
Santa came early for my car today...
ECS Brembo slotted brake rotors, a couple of oil filters, high performance brake fluid, magnetic sump plug and a T Shirt.
Just waiting for EBC to deliver the right brake pads...There is a dislexic bloke in the EBC warehouse in Melbourne who got the part numbers around the wrong way and sent up pads for a Holden Vectra/SAAB 9-5...
Dislexics are Teople Poo...

Nice toys.
Are the disks for stock size callipers?
Wheres the Tshirt?!?![]()
The goods look awesome. I too wanted to get hte magnetic sump plug and slotted rotors etc but weren't sure about fitment. Could you give us an update on fitment once all installed? Cheers. Might have to buy myself some xmas pressies too.
Last week I've installed the Seat Cupra (front arm rear bush) + Power Flex (front arm front bush) bushes + Mondeo Drop links.
