What did you do to your Polo today?

[kangfu]

Thats going to make a comprehensively modified car, nice. I'm still in two minds about going that far... need another polo on the racetrack so make me want more from it (now hoping Eddie doesn't come out where I go, that'd embarass me, lol).

I am going to go broke from buying fuel now, cant stop driving it haha. Worth every $ if you like more noise. Also feels more torquey and makes giving it a little blat now and then much more fun. The bigger twin tailpipes look heaps better too!

Speaking of noise i am buying a BMC OTA (the oval one that doesnt need battery mod) soon which should give me even more. Nothing too ricer boy but for me anyway, makes driving the car more enjoyable.

Last thing after the FMIC and and CDA will be the brakes, thinking ECS 2-piece .. hmm.

Squeezed in another sheet of Dynamat, and some insulating foam fot the inner door/rear panels.

MUCH quieter on the road.

Pulled all the inner trims off, found the rattle in the dash that has been frustrating me for the last three years.... Something's loose inside the glovebox lid.

Making it nicer to drive!

Hi guys I started the car tonight. Then 20 meters down the road car lost all power. The car would shudder and struggle when i would accelerate. Feels like it has lost a cylinder. I smelled smoke. I pulled over had a look at the engine bay and couldnt find any leaks. Drove it very slowly home. 20-30k/hr.

Thinking it could be coilpacks or fuel pump. Is this pricey to fix? I need to put it on a tow truck and hopefully wont be too expensive to fix. What do you guys think the problem is?

This mornings effort.




Huge discovery is that it looks like the late model PD100s use the same inlet manifold as the PD150. go figure. PD150 on left PD100 on the right. My inlet manifold was pretty clean as well atleast compared to a few others.


Little split in the radiator hose thanks to VW's crappy design, the radiator hoses for the EGR rub.

Turbo Manifold.

Got my BMC OTA in the mail today, and managed to fix the knocking i was getting from the front. Loose swaybar link ...

While i was there i found my passenger side CV boot pissing grease everywhere. Anyone know how big of a job it will be to fix that? Dont think i have the tools to do it myself ...

If you know how to remove a driveshaft, its easy to replace the boot, tools are important. The boot is only worth like $15

How much did your KWs cost, kangfu, and where'd you get them?

Am I crazy, or would these plus these look awesome on a lowered Pogo?

Is it a VW specific part i'd need? Or would i be able to pick something up from an auto store/local Pedders ... ?

Edit: so I inspected the boot today and it doesn't look split? I don't know where all the grease may have been leaking from. Is it going to be ok to drive the car for the next few days still? I've only the one car at the moment and I can't get time off till Wednesday to go get it fixed. I'm pretty sure its only been a few days since it leaked because I clean my car often and only just noticed the grease inside the drivers side front wheel a day or two ago.

Don't worry about me, just have a go.
