UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

i have to agree though the polo is too front heavy. making the back end seem light.
on mine it understeers easily, ease of the pedal then the back end goes.

Thats called lift off oversteer :roll: Every car does it.

If you stuff your car into a tree at 15mph theres something seriously wrong with ...

Mine done this.

Was the dashboard dying a death. VW fitted a new dash for me, and reporgrammed my keys.

Get it sorted quick, as mine imobilised the car for me when it threw a hissy fit!

Stuff it, one of me for good measure

Nice Pic of a good mate of mine, Dino.

My boss's one should be delivered soon!

Company car insurance rocks!

Do what cabbies do, have a money bag filled with change.

Makes a lethal lethal weapon for defending your property

Also totally legal because its a money bag, if they ask why, say its for change for parking

Seriously, its legal and damn effective!

I had expensive Koni adjustables and wasnt too impressed. I had custom springs made up and it was a lot better though, but the standard springs are a bit dodgy IMO.

The adjustability was nice, because you can make the suspension softer andharder, but thats it, doesnt really offer you a lot to be ...

Sorry to hear that, hope insurance can help you out

Cant comment on Polo suspension, but on Nova's Koni stuff is utter s**t on the road, its pretty much only suited to the track......

I would reccomend Bilstein "Yellows" Gas shock absorbers and some matched springs.

But it depends on how much you want to spend.

If your looking for a cheap option ...

Green one would do 0-100mph in roughly 14 secs depending on the launch, as you can imagine, its hard to pull away without wheelspin in such a light car with that much power. Once rollign could pull 70-115 (3rd gear) in 7 seconds which is what I loved the most. Had the F16W gearbox on it from a ...

Fairly large amount of cars round my way.

Between me and my mates we had some seriously fast machinery at one point. Only just sold my Nova's to pay for the Dub. To name a few.....

360bhp 2.0 16v Turbo Nova (Steve's)
160bhp 2.0 16v Nova (Mine)
125bhp 1.6 16v Trackday Nova (Mine)
Various 106 GTi's ...

Falkens are pure s**t, offer zero gip IMO and wear out in minutes.

Yokohama A539's are my main choice, all of my cars up until the Polo have run these, awesome grip in the dry, good/high grip in the wet. They do not wear as much as anybody says. Had them on my 120bhp 1.6 16v Nova and on my 160bhp 2 ...
