Stage 3 hasn't been done in Australia.

I was close to doing it but for everyday driving it wasn't a wise choice. I also didn't want to keep replacing CV's and the like. Traction in 3rd gear would be a struggle on the Stage 3 as I break traction in 2nd with the LSD + K04 with good rubber.

Hi Jeff,

Does 6Q6 827 565 H come painted or unpainted?

Front 35mm and 45mm at the back. I had race springs in it but they were too stiff so it's back to the V3 springs.

The legal limit here is 35%. My tint is 20%. It's not dark enough during the day but it's to dark at night if there are no lights around. Win some lose some I guess.

That's what I wanted to do but TT Comp's don't exist here, or if they do I haven't seen them. :cry:

Get some lightweight wheels Jeff. I have 8kg track rims and some TT rims which are about 14kgs and the difference ...

I used vinyl because its cost $10 for a square meter so thats about 4 squid for you Poms. If I ...

If you want more power after a remap then a dump pipe is proven to provide up to 13bhpatw which is pretty good for a small outlay.

looks nothing like my forge one mate, things are in different places, and rather than skimp, your best to stick to the original part, remember, your uprating it for a reason

also from rollers experience, the forge TIP raises power and torque quite noticably in the mid range, and allows for faster ...

I'd say he's upgraded to a Pelaquin LSD and upgraded the clutch with a lighter flywheel.

Now the drive shaft is the weak point

Is the 320bhp at the wheels or fly?

Hi,

Does anyone know where I can buy 'black' VW badges for the Polo GTI? I'm after front and back.

Vagparts.com have them available for the 6N but not sure if their the same for the 9N GTI. https://sslrelay.com/s74326199.oneandoneshop.co.uk/sess/utn;jsessionid=1546ca4a8b84cd5/shopdata/0015_VW/0002 ...
