Tigz™ Posted May 30, 2009 Author Report Share Posted May 30, 2009 Went to see Kris yesterday, and he's over the moon with the swap himself, and ive had a look over your old polo and needless to say, its tidy as foosh, and sounds pretty good too Thanks for the pics mate, car looks fantastic.Its great when you know your car has gone to a good home.Looks as good as I knew it could.Texted him today and told him about the changes, and he told me he had done the two 'I' badges.That new rear 'I' was given to me by Al who works at Awesome GTI, tell him to drop them a line when he needs anything, they do so cool things for that car.Rear anti roll bar is the thing to go for, and a remap.Once the new shock absorbers are on the car will be pretty much spot on.Keep me updated with pics of how he is getting on please!

Max Posted June 2, 2009 Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 This thing is fooking funny, I love it! I'm suprised by how refined and drivable it is and how quickly it embarrased the vx.You've still got **** all chance of beating anything until you learn how to drive though. Retard.

Tigz™ Posted June 2, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 2, 2009 Hahaha I know! I'm gutted, I think I may haveatood a change against that evo if it wasn't for my **** gear change!!! That lotus was cool though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Plug Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 How well does it put power down.... im guessing there's no lsd? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Surprisingly well, just the right amount of power for the chasis I think. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tigz™ Posted June 3, 2009 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 It only really spins up the wheels in first if your silly with the throttle, even then it grips pretty quickly. In the wet if you floor it off the line it will light up the wheels but no more so than the GTI did. Round corners it grips fantasticly, I'm pretty impressed by the mk4 chassis. Max... That's an idea.. Does the DSG controller work through the ECU or is it a seperate control unit do you think?Just having a beer, waiting for Max to finish, will go for another drive and contemplate the suggestion LOL Hurry up dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daz_Wilko Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 yea it handles amazingly on them tyres like, ive had a few brown moments in it when kris was driving it, but my god can he drive lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Max Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Andi, you're a t1t! Do you honestly think you'd be able to fit a dsg box, it's taken 4 yrs to tile your kitchen ffs.Learn how to change gear without fluffing it every time and you'll save a bundle.

Max Posted June 3, 2009 Report Share Posted June 3, 2009 Err, technically it was 3. You tried to find second.....TWICE!.....along the dual track, by this time the evo had stopped fueled up and was at home making sweet love to his mrs. The third was with the elise when you left it in third round an island, elise went, we waited....and waited...then boost came in and we were off.lol.
