What did you do to your Polo today?

[clicht]

Changing to a auto meterphantom 35lbs boost guage, should be here this week, as for pyro I happy with my intake temps and the 3" custom exhaust to get the temps out, even after a full throttle blast the intake manifold is cool as.

where did you get the exhaust done...is it 3" straight through; how does it sound ?

[clicht]

had a rattle is my dash..stripped the dash, and fastened all screws, bolts etc with locktite. Put it all together expecting it sorted...drove the car and still have a rattle...seems to be coming frmo the center console, perhasp the raadio or gauges...will have to strip the console again, aaarrgh

Nothing worse mate! I've hunted down a few rattles lately myself. The one from the dash was actually one of the little clips in glove-box lid that is meant to hold a pen has loose. No way of tightening it so ripped the little bastard out Now to sort the vibration coming from the fuel pump lid!

Yeah, been in the dash a few times... get off your bump stops and stay out of the sun...

I ruined my front brakes (pads and rotors) at Sandown yesterday

Anyone done a big brake upgrade on their non-GTi Polo and have the OE rotors?

[VWindahouse]

Might be upgrading my fronts soon if your keen for some GTI rotors and calipers?

[kaanage]

Thanks but the caliper mounts are totally different so it's a big job converting - there was a set floating around down here for this reason

Plus they'd foul my 14" daily rims

Bugger!

Went for my first proper drive in a while, up around the old Pacific Hwy, north of Hornsby.
Polo was on form, from the new drop links, shortened rear bump stops, Seat FMIC. Third gear is lovely
