What did you do to your Polo today?

[VWindahouse]

Got tyres on the rims for my track assault, changed front pads and bed in the pads. So now brakes are sorted. Now have Remsa's all round with TRW fluid.

Hitting queensland raceway next week, since I went there with a near standard car, only mod was bilstein struts and H&R springs I did a 66.5s lap on the sprint format. I'm ideally seeking a sub 64 now that I have more power, more handling, sticky rubber, better brakes and think my driving has improved.

Time will tell, but anything in a 64 I'll be happy.

Tyres are toyo r888 which ill run on front and Bridgestone RE55s for the rear as the toyo's have more tread.

Nice mate but you're goal is way to low adding semi's alone should net you more than 2 secs. So a tea spoon of cement prior to going on and 60 flat it is then

BTW do you remember the date you posted the 66.5 so I can update the performance thread?

I kinda hope I'm being a little soft in my optimism, but don't want to be disappointed either. An RS clio or Type R integra with street tyres when well driven are typically high 64's/low 65's, so base my expectations on that time minus a little. There'll be no worries about committment when I aim for that lap time, though am curious about driving on semi's. It certainly won't be a 60, lol.

That 66.5 is going back to 2009 I'd think. I can't find/didn't keep the print out so wasn't going to add it. Similar to lakeside sprints, vague recollection of ~72s with stock car, though I'm doing that lap time now with the chicane during happy laps. In due course I'll do lakeside again to get some times too.

No worries mate '09 it is!

I changed out the gear box oil yesterday, I've done ~53k on it, it was filthy brown/gold colour. Worse than engine oil Some light metal fragments, but very little, no teeth

Had to use Nulon 75w-90 in semi-sythetic as I couldn't get 2l of full-synthetic. The car dropped out a whisker under 2lt, so put 2lts in. Haven't driven far enough to notice much/any real difference. I've never had any crunching of gears when going up or down, though was becoming a little more difficult to engage gears after some extended, heavy lapping, but was fine once cooled a little.

Big couple of weeks of maintence for my car. Will need tyres over the next month too, dang.

Got a check engine light this morning. Quickly went past a mechanic and got them to check the fault, it came up:
P1165 Long term Fuel Trim Additive air, area 1: system too rich.

I'm running a Turbosmart Kompact Dual Port, I'm guessing that would be the cause of the fault? Is there any long term side effects?

Well after 7 years, 1 of the H7 headlight bulbs gave in ..... so today I replaced both with Phillips Powervisions, 60% more visible light and nice and white in comparison.

E.O.I. for my car - great for anyone who wants a car that has already had the work done for them or anyone wanting a great base to go a bigger turbo!
