My Polo
Re: My Polo - Update.
No, it doesnt work with fords but this aint a ford!! notch the chassis and remove the helper springs!! It'll be proper decked then!!

Re: My Polo - Update.
well, i fitted the front coilovers and they pop and clunk when turning?
its like the spring is binding on something? i fitted them exactly how the old ones came off, could just be them sttling? its becoming less frequent that it happens, i just cba forknig out £220 to end up with broken coilovers
also, exhaust got mocked up yesterday but the guy didnt have the right sized pipe and with it being a bank holiday so wednesday its going in again and it will be sorted.
was going to be getting some teledials for it but my tax is up in 3 days so wheels will have to wait might just put tyres on the blue things and run them, they looked awesome!

Re: My Polo - boom.
I don't usually like teledials, but I like that. I like the green, too! Do the mirrors
Don't bother with a remap if that's all you expect to see... If you're going to spend money, spend it on some throttle bodies and proper map/management!

i thought that, its never going to gain much from just breathing mods, so £300 for a map is a squander, cams then map!
oh and bin them wheels

Aye she's a keeper
I think the green is growing on me tbh, looks much better in person, took some pictures at my meet tonight so will upload later!
The only reason I want it mapping was just to squeeze the extra bit out of it, the group I have has a sponser who will do maps for £100 with a vat receipt for members etc so covered of it goes wrong.
But I've also just got a set of cbr600's that just need drilling and fitting - so might save up to get them set up etc...

Ah now see I would have said a centre defensive midfield, at a push a right winger but I guess it's difficult to tell without the gloves.
