UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Not sure mate, everything I want at the minute is out of the question whilst at uni :/

Well I've been on the forums for a while (in the most part due to me forgetting my password and never having the sense to change it) but alas now I have no polo :(

I sold it two weeks ago for a little under what I wanted for it but never the less, it's gone to its new home.

Never thought I would ...

Changes in the ECU which can among other things change fuel/ignition timings and give you slightly increased boost from your turbo (if you have one)

Can be done to any car but the gains are usually greatest on something that's had other mods and/or forced induction

Get stronger bearings put in that are rated for higher loads?

At least do the ones that fail most commonly any way.

Having said that, uprating those might just mean the next thing along will fail. s**t design tbh

Mate don't bother spraying them, even with heat resistant paint.

Hammerite ftw

If you paint them red I will hunt you down and murder you, just a kind thought

Hammerite them black if they are rusty or don't bother

A number of things. Mine was the lambda probe

Nothing to worry about though

s**t phone pics but they do the job. Brock B2s, ET~35. 5mm spacers on the back. Lowered a lot (KW Coilovers)



A better ...

I got mine for less than £30

ebay.de though

Make sure you get that bumper to match.

You could do what Dan Krebs did, buy a second one, butcher it and use the plastic from it to make the extra you need.

40mm isn't slammed, and they will be ok, for a while.

They will start to leak eventually though. You can get kits (inc shocks) really cheap from PhillJ so you might as well do it properly

Holy crap....!

Wheel spins, especially whilst turning will soon ruin any mk4/5 box quickly.

I had about 4.5K on my box from when it started whining till when it finally let go

Dan! Don't be gay.... sell a leg or something
