UK-POLOS.NET - THE VW Polo Forum

Well the weather is getting better Nigel and Ben so get out and do it It's ALOT easier if they arn't pitted already as you have to go over them with really corse paper which takes 10x more effort and time.

Hopefully tyres will arrive soon so i can stick the boots back on

Looking really good dude, great effort. Never thought i'd be out working on my car in march. Crazy British weather.

Looks good Joe. Machine metal polisher ftw

Indeed ftw

Where did you get the kit from? Need one for my new zorst on the ED30

This one:

Didn't think much of the compound bars- just stuck with autosol

So as of this eve the Spax RSX coilies are on, however tyres have not tet arrived so car is still flying..

I have the calipers a small refurb and lick of paint- will upload some piccys once tyres arrive and wheels are on

Oh and in the process of tourqing my bbs bolts- managed to round one off which doesnt bode well for the centres being refurbed pretty soon... bugger

Good Progress Mate Cant wait to see it

Ask Alex about the BBS bolts, he may have some or know somebody with them available.

Gonna sound like a Jet engine ( only basing that on alot of the miltek non res's ive heard do )

It sounds interesting to say the least. Lots of noise when you want it!

nice job on the wheels - they do look good when polished up - not sure about Orange centres but with RX2's it's nice to be able to try these things

Swayed from st orange pretty quick - far too non-oem for me lol.

LAst night i was onit till 9pm doing the following:

Draining gearbox oil. Had to use a make shift wheel bolt and 17mm spanner as i didnt' have a 17mm hex or allen key. Does anyone know where the fill point is on the GB

Full coolant flush

Changed the pollen filter ( mine was actually black with moths in it tasty....)

Adjusted the Spax to around half was up the thread. Should be a good basepoint.

Torqed up the bbs bolts- rounding one off in the process

made a tea

patted the dog

and that was me done:) All im waiting for is the bloody tyres which have taken almost 10 days to arrive

GB oil - fill it till it overflows

Ensure you use genuine VW gearbox oil though as its superior to pretty much all other 75W90 gear oils you can buy as it has special additives in it.
