2015 polo gti

There is plenty available but the tunes are a bit more developed than a $300 flash tune for an LS1.

Fuel pump you are stuck with & it works well.

Intakes are surprisingly effective ex-factory unless you want a bit more noise or hover at 5000rpm+ all the time.

Injectors don't seem to be an issue.

Oil coolers are already built in and generally an extra unit is not needed unless you constantly flogging the buttocks off it.

Your problem is the gearbox you have chosen. Basically, once you go beyond a stage 1 tune (which is still fun) your gearbox will let you down.

Either it goes under warranty or just get better clutch packs. Either way even if u add more killer wasps on a manual I doubt the stock clutch will be able to hold.

I've been on a stock clutch in my Bluefinned manual for more than 100,000km (155,000km total). No issues. It's the lighter duty MQ250.

I make the most of the 300+Nm of torque in all gears. No slippage yet. The downfall will be the DMF.

is there a H&R spring for the 2015 polo GTI? 30 front -35mm rear drop? are people using the springs from the 1.4 twin charged?

Springs will be the same as for the 6R. I have been assured that the KW Comfort Coilovers I ordered are the same for the 6R and 6C and this is verified on the KW web site. Been waiting 46 bloody days now for them to be posted, stuff up by the Australian distributor perhaps although KW Germany are telling me they have a component supplier problem.

Personally if I was going for springs I would go for the Eibachs (same as VWR). Look at the 'stickies' at the front of the Polo 6R... forum for drops etc.

thanks mate

i might talk to roadtrackrally about what to get, they are KW suppliers and i've had good experiences with their staff on dyno days there

hi guys, what are the best springs to get while retaining the stock shocks? i dont want it to be crazy low. no tyre tuck is required just a nice ride height. i thought about it and i dont want coilovers on this ride, i may change the shocks at a later date. im having a tough time finding the right H&R springs or eibach. there will almost always be 2 adults and a 4 year old in the car so thats why i cant go crazy low as it will be low with the 180kg already in the car

The stock dampers are rubbish so if you don't intend to do dampers then don't do springs.

I'm looking at getting some window tints on my new GTI. I didn't get them done when i bought the car, they seemed kind of expensive through Volkswagon.

Does anyone have any recommendations for places to do window tints in Sydney? How much ball park figure should i be looking at paying?

Thanks

Around $300.
