Polo 9N3 GTI Red Project
Posted: Thu Oct 04, 2012 12:53 pm
Not posted much since I've been on here, more watched from a distance
But making some progress on the car so thought I'd share it and maybe get some more ideas.
Car started off like this
51,000 miles, stage 1 remap, recirc valve and pipercross panel filter, leather heated seats etc.
Bluemotion rear valance bought from KC in white, had it sprayed in red (FOC - not what you know it's who you know!)
Before:
Excuse the gay Instagram picture
After:
My private plate is also fitted now.
Next was coilovers, managed to pick up a second hand set of APs that had only been used for a month including new top mounts and shorted ARB droplinks for £350 which I thought was a good price.
Fitted these at the weekend, got some tweeking to do and need to get tracking etc done but this is how it stands at the minute:
Rears with the adjusters taken out
Also fitted number plate surrounds and a Fat Willy's surf shack sticker which I got on my travels.
Future plans are: Take it to R-Tech to get the stage 1 re done as the one on it at the minute wouldn't be a smooth curve if I had it on a dyno, doesn't feel quite as powerful as a stage 1 should.
Wheels - unsure yet, thinking Porsche but that's been done a lot now, any suggestions?
Rate and slate welcome.
Thanks for looking
