What have you done with your Polo so far (and today)

[PoloDave]

Thnx found a german website with lots of this stuff:

€1,69 per 10x10 cm, so €169 per M2
not bad actually

KW coilover kit, I can't find any in stock a site i went to said "Back order"

That my friend, is because they are awesome

[PoloDave]

also heard very good stories about the Eibach Pro Street coilovers, some say it is more comfortable then normal KW lowering springs setup (coming from a guy with this kit + 18" on his Bluemotion)

Wondering if i should go 18' Detroits or 17x7.5

As the Talladegas i bought last year had a crack in the wall of the rim (got a refund phew!).

Should i stick to the standard size i currently have of 17x7.5 or go up one size and get new tread?

What tyres should I buy with my wheels?

Regards

Also bought a set of these puppies!

You can be my coilover guinea pig Hail

Got a dump pipe and high-flow cat installed today by CES Racing in Meadowbrook. Definitely some additional power and torque from this mod according to my arsometer, I'm now super keen to see what a tune/dump pipe combo can achieve as opposed to tuning a stock 77TSI. So somebody hurry up and crack the comms protocols for my stoopid ECU!

No joke my baby R project has so far only costed me around $1500

Searching for appropriate/slightly cheap cheap coilies then when the new wheels arrive slap them on

I assume a custom job...what did that cost?

Sound better?

[Gusman]

Yes, very much a custom job, after searching high and low for off-the-shelf products with no joy. With what I mentioned previously plus resonator delete and addition of a sweet looking exhaust tip, $1800. Yes, far from cheap but that's what you get with one-off jobs like this that turn out to be a major mission - it took them 2 hours just to pull everything apart as it's all a bit hard to get to with the 77TSI. It sounds pretty good over most of the rev range, going back to get a resonator put back in though to eliminate the tinny, buzzy rasp as it goes through 2000rpm. I didn't get this set up for the noise though (would have just got a cat-back otherwise), it's the quicker turbo spool up, reduced lag, freer mid-range and top end that I'm liking at the moment. Very, very noticeable gains.

Bigfoot, you're the guy with the 18 x 8 TSW's aren't you? And lowered 25/40 like mine, as I recall. I'm going to order some 18 x 8 alloys soonish and was wondering, have you had any rubbing issues, and what width/profile tyres are you running?

[Hail22]

Don't know whether ordering 18x8 ET 45 would be too big for our polos right?

What sort of tyre size would i be slapping on these puppies if i went ahead with the order?

I'd suggest a 225/35R18 tyre, it generally keeps you within most state regulations with regard to rolling diameter of the wheel/tyre combo.
