Re: Michelin PS4's
'D' doesn't stop you flooring it, you don't have to put it into 'S' or the stupid playstation mode to get performance. There weren't many days I wasn't well over three figures on my way home (via private test track) I'd still be doing it now if the Leaf wasn't restricted to 95mph :( No it doesn't s...

I can always smell something when I read Andy's responses if I'm being perfectly honest...monkeyhanger wrote: ↑Fri Sep 24, 2021 10:40 am Private test track?
3 figures in a stone cold engine on a 3 mile journey home, uphill - I feel sorry for whoever bought that car next!

Re: Michelin PS4's
I also got crappy Turanzas on the ID3s. They don't seem quite as bad, Jeez, it's like you experience the total opposite of me with tyres. :D I didn't any experience any lack of grip at all with the Bridgestones on the Polo, I doubt anyone else was pushing them any harder than I did seeing as it was...

Re: Michelin PS4's
If you can burn through a set of rock hard Bridgestones in 8k miles then you must be driving like a nutter. Most will see 20k miles on the fronts. You also talk about "throwing" the car around. If you're flinging the car around, I think you'd find the car a lot more predictable on 4 tyres...

Michelin PS4's
So I went through my front two Bridgestones in 8000 mile - my own fault really. Anyway I've had Michelin PS4's fitted on the front since that's what 90% of people say to get. Well... They are sh*t in my opinion. I'm running 38psi in the front, so I'm open to trying different pressures if anyone else...

Re: LED headlamp retrofit
Did you have to adjust the beam angle at all on either light? Mine are way out and no matter amount how much I try and adjust them they will not align. You see two horizontal lines in front of me where the two beams are out. I actually think the left light adjustment screw part is broken as it does...

Re: 1.0 115hp DSG Resonator delete
Nothing about straight piping isn't 'obnoxious'. End of the day its a 1.0 so will sound like an old fart box Nova.
IMO it will sound sh*t and you will look a c*nt...but thats just me of course

I think that might be because Andy likes to go against the grainTurboTrev wrote: ↑Fri Jul 30, 2021 10:54 amIt's certainly looking that way.

Re: UP GTi
Seen them on the road a few times. I see one regular on my way to work in red. Personally I think it looks hideous and at 115 I would rather just get a 115 Polo, losing loads of room and practicality for what? £250 a month seems mental for what it is. I pay £290pm for my GTI, £180pm on my last 95ps ...

Re: Wanting to upgrade some bits and bobs
Are you not going to drop the back end as well? I always think the back looks worse on all models than the front. There are some pics of R Lines in this post that people have lowered, I think just with springs though, no coil overs: viewtopic.php?t=72876

Re: Polo GTI Stage 1 Remap
When I was looking everywhere was offering 250ish on a stage 1. Might be worth asking why its lower?
