Re: Stuart's Blue Polo GTi

So I finally got around to fitting the bilsteins and a set of aristos that I bought of the forum, this is how it stood. I liked doing things right so I set the ride height with a set of linear calipers to start of with to their recommended minimum height. https://31.media.tumblr.com/bc2752d955c69a30...

Re: Stuart's Blue Polo GTi

Ha, your right. You could count them on one hand.
I'm picking spark plugs here for a service. I've a list of them on europcarparts that fit ranging from £2-£11 each. What's the difference? Any performance reliability gains?

Re: Braided lines on gti

In the end I got pushed for time(pre MOT) and cash so opted not to stick in braided lines. There is still a slight sponginess to the brakes that I think must be coming from the lines. Next time I renew the brake fluid I'll stick some in. Thanks forthe advice though. Definitely a lot more stopping po...

Re: Stuart's Blue Polo GTi

When I bought the car I also bought a set of bilstein b14's but put off putting them on for a while. First thing I did was a massive K&N. I had originally designed it to be a cone in the box with a 90deg bend so it gets a good cold air feed out of the original air box. Then I decided this was a ...

Re: Stuart's Blue Polo GTi

The paintwork was in fairly bad nic, I'd love to say I did it myself but I'm not good enough with a buff to satisfy my own OCD. Got it detailed by polished pursuits. He did a much better job than I could have. http://i1062.photobucket.com/albums/t481/PolishedPursuits/VW%20Polo%20GTi%20Blue/IMG_0957L...

Braided lines on gti

Hi,
Ive put 312mm mk4 golf brakes on the front and am about to put the 256mm ones on the back to match. Is it worth upgrading to braided lines? Any one used them and notice a difference beyond just having your brakes bled?

Re: Projector head lights for Polo 9n3. Group buy

I was looking into fitting projectors, do you think 3" lens would fit the 9n3 lamps? I haven't seen it done before.

Re: Big brake upgrade

With two of us it took about an hour to fit. So long as you have the right tools and common sense its easy enough. If your not confident working on your own brakes, maybe hand it to your mechanic to do, should cost around £50 extra. Not something you want to get wrong. Tools needed: All wheel remova...
