What did you do to your Polo today?

[bfeboi]

if you didn't post a picture of the bin you cut up im pretty sure some people would be asking for a link for where you bought your new CAI

i asked a question....

what does this:







+++++++ these ****s:







EQUAL?

[Buller_Scott]

uh... ehem. some feedback....

straight line is kinda bumpy, as to be expected. amazing how demure the intrusion of median line fluro markers are, though.

come corners, well..... i think this film clip does the best explanatory functions:

Bought one of the new design APR badges.. and ordered a 2012 DBP Scirocco R ETA 2nd qtr 2012.

Definitely going to enjoy the last 6 months with the GTI, only a week or so off turning 5 years old.. they sure do grow up quick

time I have.

The cutdown part went in, pain in the ass to work with, thick plastic stuff, but wont warp and is a good temp solution.

Looks like you've been shopping with Hulk/Petrina at Bunnings

Jealous now!

What setting do have the dampers on?

Nice work Scott. Are those shots of it lowered? I find that a lower tyre pressure (i.e. not 40) is better with the Polo when its lowered. If she leans, stiffen the sways. It makes some bad roads uncomfortable at low speed, but by the time you're doing 60, most surfaces are fine.

What pressure are you running your tyres at, noone?

It seems odd to me that you would trade off tyre compliance vs roll stiffness but then 40psi is very high to be running any car tyre so I need to know the context of your statement.

[noone]

36 in the front, 34 in the rear. on a 40 profile.

I'm not suprised it seems odd to you, we have a very different approach (I like to try everything a few times in different combinations to see what suits me, my driving style and the roads). This with my sways on hard is fun in the suburbs (where I do 90% of my driving).

[kaanage]

OK, you want pin sharp response at the expense of ultimate cornering capabilities - that's a fair tradeoff for your driving requirements.

BTW I've probably tried most of the things that you are playing with already in my distant youth (incl the music discussions in the other forum) although not explicitly on the Polo. But then I'm just an old fart trying to pass on the benefits of my mistakes.
