It's not a spread, just a little bit in the built not bought section.

Hi all, not updated in a while! Still been lurking about the place though :wink:
Not a lot has changed with the polo due to getting a house :? The most action it’s seen has been various Ikea trips which haven’t treated my tyres very well with my arches touching them.
Been toying with the idea of taking the plunge on a front mount to compliment the remap and exhaust but don’t want to pay the full £600 or so for a new one. Will be keeping my eyes open and saving some money aside.
Curbed one of my rear wheels :( the Porsche ones! One of those not 100% necessary trips as well!
Also since the remap the car seems to quite like dropping boost to around 5psi every now and then but as far as I’ve worked out it seems only when cold... engine off, back on, full boost again?? Any ideas?

If you want a full turbo back Milltek exhaust with resonated and non resonated a member called 'kc' has got it for sale for £500 i think. Try asking him...?

Already have the exhaust bar the downpipe. Would love to de-cat it, but its just the right balance of loud when you want but not droaning on the motorway.

Ah okay, you could buy the resonated cat back off him and then de-cat it?
Isn't a high flow sports cat just the same or very similar to a de-cat?

The polo is now staying, till the new year at least.

So I'm trying to rediscover the love by doing a couple of things

Over the past few weeks i've done the SAI delete, fitted colder spark plugs, re fitted the standard grill and thrown a new set of rear tyres on.

Heres how its sitting at the moment;

I also fitted a set of camber shims on friday to try and get it sitting a little better.

Will get some more pics up soon...
