What did you do to your Polo today?

Washed all the bugs off after yesterdays random 1000km roadtrip down to Mt Gambier for the hillclimb.

Got some new tyres. Yokohama ADrive R1 in the same size as the stock CSC2.

Got 51K kms out of the stock tyres so pretty happy with that. I was after another set of contis but had some trouble tracking them down (and didn't have the time to wait for some to be shipped from OS) so just settled for the Yokohamas.

so how are they ? comparable to contis?

i washed my girl down again only to notice a new stone chip !

mines in the panel shop. New rim and fixing of lower rear left hand side damage from another vehicle. Will be back and looking new by weekend.

I need to put a few more K's on them to really know they are still a bit waxey.

First impressions: they don't seem to have quite the grip my contis had. No probs spinning though first if I put my foot down after a taking off from the lights normally and not quite as confident around corners.

Hopefully a week or so should fix this, I'll report back then.

Got the windows tinted today, looks much smarter with dark windows now. Hopefully the haze and small bubbled bits will clear pretty quickly in Melbourne's current heat wave.

Nearly had a heart attack though when I saw black 'scrapes' all over my rear bumper after the tinting

Luckily it was only glue and wiped off with some isopropyl alcohol without leaving any damage, or else there would have been a case of

Tinted windows makes the Polo so much sexier. My mates missus has a red one without tint, we put them side by side and mine just ROCKS!

Yeah makes a huge visual difference, especially on the silver cars, adds a nice contrast.

The other day at Seb's we were mucking round with the DV, tried the other way round, no diff. But it made this strange short whistle that I didn't like, we also cable tied the small vacuum hose at both ends.

Came home this arvo, waited for it to cool down and swapped it back the right way, car is MUCH better now. Will see how it goes tomorrow morning but it feels like it's boosting properly and has full powa.

[FL00DY]

Yup car is working with full boost now
