Re: POLO 1.2 as a first car?

Yep the 1.2 is a bit of a slug, well that's what I call mine :) the wife's 1.2 micra absolutely trashes it in a straight line ! Lol
However I always arrive fashionably late anyway so it doesn't really matter to me :oops:

Re: Central locking kit

Thanks for that, can just order a 180 ohm resistor from eBay ? Waiting to get a full weekend off to fit the kit so not an immediate rush yet

Re: Central locking kit

Been reading up on the rclick but where does the resistor go ? What value and where can I get one ? Help ! Got the kit ordered and want as much info as possible before I/we attempt to fit it ? Is there anyone with a wiring diagram out there ?

Coilovers ?

Been looking at lowering springs and came across these on eBay, http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&alt=web&id=321376508367&globalID=EBAY-GB seem a decent price, not expecting miracles at that price, as long as they last a year or so I'll be happy, Question is do I need to change a...

[quote="joshiswho"]Completely stock so far besides retro-fitting a bonnet gas strut.
Can I ask where you got your bonnet strut or if from another vehicle which one and how did you fit it ?

Re: H+r or apex springs ?

35/55 is too low for me, and coilovers too much money, think I'll stick with 25/40 for now

Re: H+r or apex springs ?

It's mostly the rear height that concerns me, looks like it's been jacked up ? Lol 25/40 is the route I will take, still looking at alternatives, found some direnza on the bay for only 80 quid but I think it may be a case of getting what you pay for, they will either sag and become spongy and like j...

H+r or apex springs ?

evening all, I'm in the market for some lowering springs for my 1.2 6r and have narrowed it down to either h+r or apex springs in the 25/40 front/rear variety, has anyone any experience of either brand ? Ride quality etc
