Likely 288 or 312mm with Audi S1 caps

Na 99% są to zaciski z audi s1 8X0615123A, 8X0615124A. Plus tej blaszki jest taki że jest przykręcana i można ją odkręcić i pomalować jak się chce

Time for a little detailing session today, with a wash and a top up, on paint protection.

What brakes are you running on the front there Peter, looks like some Audi RS?

Thanks Peter, did you have to make any modifications to fit them or are they a bolt-on upgrade? I believe these are the same brake callipers as a GTI right?

It's a bolt-on upgrade (only change the carriers) if you have the 288mm setup.

The time has arrived



I'm going to use light wheel set setup to get the maximum possible. Will run hankook k125 in 195/55 stock. We will see how they grip maybe 205/50 upgrade Toyo TR1.
I dont see the turbo running anywhere near 2.3 bar ( no need for map upgrade (stock is i think 2.5 bar/3 bar) )
Tommorow it should go in, I will have access to 2post lift. Fingers crossed everything goes well.
My goal is 180hp and a sleeper. I have no outside modifications (will probably remove the rear tint).

Next:
288 mm brake upg.+ 2kg of rotational mass
Custom dog bone mount ( I have everything drawn out) -Stiffer, weight 750g.
Short shifter modification nothing crazy.

Here's my Blue GT, I've completed the 6R GTI front end swap including a TRC front splitter. For the lower grill sections, I painted them with black PlastiDip to get rid of the horrible grey finish for a more blended appearance with the bumper! Next up, I've got some Porsche wheels waiting to go on...

I purchaced a set of aftermarket alloys that look exactly the same as the original wheels the polo came with, i curved the original alloys so needed to refurb them, the only issue was that the hub logo’s were smaller than the original one on the original alloys, i looked online for some hub logo’s & i saw the golf gti hub logo’s which looked smart but they were being sold from dealers for £75 a set so i wernt paying that so i purchaced a set of caddy hub logo’s secondhand in great condition which have the same details as the smaller ones that came with my polo, purchased some red heat resistant spaypaint & some lacquer & made some golf gti center caps, for a fraction of the price , i use the backs of the caps that came with the aftermarket alloys because the caddy ones wouldnt clip in the alloy as the clip bits were shorter so i spliced & grafted them to fit & hold tight in the alloys, then painted & varnished them , they came up a treat & looked well polished against the new alloys , to this day they are still looking good , the pic of my car was before i done the caps , but thats my polo 2016 gti 1.8 192hp tsi bm all waxed & machine polished .

My little one <3

Darkside TDI turbo damper delete?

No, I made it. It can use factory hose lenght.
As I know darkside damper doesnt have this much clearance in all directions
