Featured Replies

Lovely Jubbly, I really want to set up 2-3 guages in my wee cuppyhole bit on my dash of my car just don't know enough bout them or anything like that to know what guages i should get or why :doubt:

oil pressure, battery voltage, temperature :)

May aswell as whilst this is here

Right so of course one will be boost, what would use all recommend i should get for another 2?? if i was potentially going for a stage 2 upgrade and maybe eventually a ko4 turbo??

Went out for a spin in the polo tonight to test out my new seats... just couldn't get the power down, the car was running mint due to the cold air... but the wheels just kept lighting up, even with an LSD. On the plus side though, my 300mm momo team is much easier to control the car with than my 280mm momo team, i'm glad I upgraded!

Here's the video

Cool story, Bro!

thats sounding sooo nice had to watch it twice :thumbsup:

moral of the story is, 280mm wheels are scene, but nowhere near as nice to drive with as a 300mm wheel :)

I need a smaller wheel tbh.

I was doing burnouts in 5th gear last night :ninja:

May have been in a RX7 on forza though :lol:

get a 1.4 8v, less wheels spin..

j/k, serously love your polo, if you want £20 come to me and take me for a spin, and a night on the back seats.

it no longer has back seats with the new interior fitted...

dont worry, passanger seat will do, I'm not fussy.

I would expect the polo to be near super car near experence? with full traction mind...

Whats the bph? and i bet it out does a few porshe's Bhp/weight wise.

I just watched all your video's lol..seeing those 6N2 dials when your boosting lol i ENVY u! lol..

Love it mate..!

Whats so special about it lol?

BHP wise I don't really know... it's a AMK lump (210 standard) then it's been mapped on DTA managment, has the filter, intercooler, 3" turbo back exhaust, few other bits and pieces.

Cheers for all the nice comments, Don, I'll have to get some proper video's of it on boost for you as it's a nightmare with the bad weather, lol.

the car's slowly getting there like :) it's running how I want it to now, so the noise won't change! :)

Interior's gonna change a bit more (going in for retrim soon) and i'm gonna fit this to go with the rest of my TT bits

I dont think it'd of worked with the 6n interior, but with the 6n2 one it should fit nicely :) just need to get modifying!

show me a video of you maxing the fucker and i'll be impressed :lol:

what sort of lsd are you running?

and what cars have you had a little play with? :nod:

It's got a Quaife in it, coupled with a 6 speed box.

So far i've played with a new M3, fair few porsche's, mainly boxsters but also had a 911 carerra 4 too :)

And the usual corsa's, saxo's, fiesta ST's/Zetec S, etc.

sweet, how much does the LSD lock up? pretty much full so you get very long 11's?

what 0-60 have you achived? probbly not the polo's strog point though.

thanks :)

Got these to help go with my new look i'm going for with the polo, I think they're quite smart and different to the usual valver vents.

won't be to everyone's taste, but coupled with some well positioned ducting, should help cool the wilwood 4 pots that're going on :)

nice!

not sure if I should colour code them or not?

Nooo, they look ace as they are lol, colour coding them will be a bit too much IMO.
