[GTi_Red]

yokos and poly bushes ordered

[Ben90]

Good choice. What bushes did you go for? The powerflex ones come in two parts which means they're easy to install needing no special tools etc (provided you can remove the old ones) They're the ones on my list. Are you going to fit them yourself?

I paid 67quid each for the yoko pradas off demon tweeks, everywhere else they were pushing 100 each so had four of them 205 40 17 and yeah the powerflex ones, I know well easy to fit and yup in work on a sat, cba doing on the deck :p
Quick question will it adjust the geometry settings?

[GTi_Red]

Pradas have arrived now just waiting bushes. fit tyres tomorrow and try dunes on as a taster, other than that they will be going on after winter

Just some random pics..

Never seen a polo with these wheels thought it looked nice


Poor polo stuffed in a hedge to make to room bring step mums car up:( tried saying the polo should have priority but my dad disagreed


Me earning a couple quid cleaning mothers car, and of course mine, before grey wheels also

[ridermkrich]

red with black wheels is a good look

[GTi_Red]

To be honest they were meant to be a light ish grey but I chose the wrong colour lol, it's because the colour on a car I.e big panels looks lighter than it does on a small surface area. I knew this too but chose to ignore it.. Douche

[GTi_Red]

Going to be ordering a forge turbo intake pipe and I've had a look and don't seem to much room down there so to anyone that's fitted one, is it best to do in work on a ramp so I can get underneath or is it okay to do from the top?
Cheers

deffo need ramps buddy

[gti-joe]

2nd the ramps, it is a b**ch of a job, or was for me with my big shovel hands.

[GTi_Red]

I managed to do it without too much trouble. Firstly i found it easier to remove the 8mm Cap head holding a black metal pipe to the engine (sorry for the lack of technical decsription) undoing that freed up some room to get the new one in. Was then able to just about squeeze it on and then jack the car up on axle stands and with one hand working in the area next to the diff you can get it on. Its very tight all round and you'll slice your hands to bits. All in all took me about an hour to an hour and half but deffo worth doing!
