I see you styling behind the wheel there, naughty...

Bru, that car is looking awesome

Is it true that you have set the frequency of the sub so low that the vibrations cause panties to lose their elasticity and drop of the bodies of nubile young women

not only that - it causes the garments on their upper bodies to itch thereby ensuring that they have to remove said garments post haste

I'll have to pull in soon. I just need to make time.
I'm just a bit scared after driving in your GTi, I'll climb into my 1.6 and it just wont feel the same...

Ya, I noticed it a while back (every since I met you IRL)

okay - im becoming a bit of a picture ***** - took some photo's with my new phone - and now the phone is getting me some decent pics

i know the car needs a wash and vacuum - but here are some daytime pics - the car has subsequently been washed - but im gonna soon do a complete three stage polish - if i can find some zymol here in durban will do a zymol detail on the car

heres the exterior

and another angle

and yet another angle

and then the front grille

now for the interior - notice the doorpads and seats have been done but see how closely the steering wheel and handbrake lever as well as the gerknob match the seats - those items are all factory as are the seatbelts - many people want to know how ive gotten the red edges on the seatbelts LOL

now for the steering wheel - yes the car is dirty - had gone to pick up a friend the previous night and he has a garden - so some of the loose grass landed up on my shoes and hence rubbed off onto the mats - rest assured its all been cleaned now

will try and get some pics after ive detailed the car - hopefully the polish job is gonna get rid of those idiotic swirlmarks on the pain that occured when the dealership waxed the car incorrectly - they were supposed to glaze it - but they waxed it instead

- but anyways im sure i can live with doing the detailing myself

When is the suspension kit going on?

35mm - 40mm needed to get rid of the 4x4 look on those 18"S

Looks like its sitting on stilts...need some sweet eibach/bilstein coilovers in there to cure that problem...otherwise looking really good

:):)

LOL - place was empty at the time - i could have parked across 3 bays and no-one would have bothered - was just there to pick up some pizza and pasta that i ordered on the phone - so i just took those pics while waiting for the pasta to get done

yes the phone does take some decent pics in the daytime - at night the flash isnt too great - but its workable

When is the suspension kit going on?

35mm - 40mm needed to get rid of the 4x4 look on those 18"S

well im still deciding what to do about the suspension - ive got a choice

1) eibach 35mm springs with koni FSD shocks
2) koni 40mm springs with koni sport shocks
3) Koni or Bilstein coilovers both adjustable front and rear

so im gonna have to decide which i like best - not in a big rush though since all the above choices will total up to above R8k and im kind of skint at the moment - gotta spend R100k doing up the flat and buy my big tv and home theatre system - so suspension will have to wait a few months - will definitely make it a priority when i do the ECU remap and other performance bits and bobs - the ride is decent enough for now - may just go for the coilovers cos i can adjust those when i need to ie keep it only around 20mm lower for daily driving and then go a bit lower than that for track days/VWclubSA event days

Bilstein Coil-Overs will be sweet.

Alway been a fan of Bilstein.

well Bilstein as well as Koni and even Eibach all make a decent coilover kit for the polo - will need to decide which fits the budget - but in terms of functionality and quality - all three are excellent - i suppose it will depend on which is available in durbz when i have the cash ready

Looking good!

I still dunno about those wheels though, looks WAY too big for the car IMO, I think 17's would've been perfect.

Maybe once it's been lowered it will look better though, keep the updates coming!

There is a place based in CT which does some excellent local coilovers...they'll outprice the otherstuff and quality is supposed to be really really good.

Stuart Mack (Super_Stu) mentioned them to me...maybe ask him

naughty · Post by **naughty** » 07 Aug 2007, 16:46

you are probably talking about Traxxion - not gonna go to Cap to get some springs fitted though - most ill travel is to CRS in jozies

super_stu if im not mistaken is Roadhawg over at vwclub forums ???

Ryan - those pics are on a bit of an incline - when the car is flat it looks decent - see this pic - also they are almost the same rolling diameter - just more rim and less tyre with th 18's - but the dimeter of the combo is very similar (not identical but its less than 1% different so its almost negligible) - so it would retain a similar height - just the wheels would have looked smaller - but a bit more of an air cushion between the rim and the rubber on the ground

besides when you see the car in real life its still lower than a standard polo 1.6 comfortline and it looks far better in real life than in the pics - in fact most of the comments i get are normally about the wheels and most of them are positive comments - guys even try to catch up to me at robots just to ask where i got those from

ECU remap and other performance bits and bobs

could you please scan your before and after print out when you this and post it

viceroy · Post by **viceroy** » 07 Aug 2007, 16:53

Yes...Traxxion....Who says you gotta go fetch...I'm pretty sure they deliver...and then have CRS install

Nah...super stu is definately not roadhawg...they different guys on the vw club forums...

naughty · Post by **naughty** » 07 Aug 2007, 17:06

traxxion is okay - but id prefer one of the others from what ive heard of all those - the koni's and Bilsteins are a definite cut above the rest - and they cost a lot more too - but theres a reason for that ie when it comes to Koni - if its good enough to be OEM on ferrari then its good enough for me too - but ill do some more research on traxxion - when it comes to suspension and brake parts - gettng the wrong stuff could kill you whereas blowing th eengine isnt as dangerous - so there you can play around for the lowest costing item - but brakes and suspension i would only trust something with the most reliable reputations around

will try to see if i can sort something out in durbz first - and second option is CRS - ive heard great things about Steve Hurley their suspension guy there - he is totally clued up and will do a great job on the car - but if i dont have to travel that far id rather avoid it

could you please scan your before and after print out when you this and post it

no probs mate - will do - but its probably not gonna be very soon as ive said above tv and hometheatre are first priority - then ill see how much ive got left for car mods after that

naughty: I would highly recommend going with Koni. Springs as well as shocks. Very very good!

I initially had Eibach on my GTI, and when switching to Koni Sports the difference was very noticable.

yeah - so far its actually those adjustable coilovers for the win cos as ive said i could do a 30mm drop for daily use and then a 50mm drop for track days - that would be awesome - so its between the Koni and Bilstein - gotta go looking around for those and get some quotes - not expecting either to be below R8k to R10k for the set

Post by **ryanrich** » 07 Aug 2007, 17:20

Yeah 8 or 10K sounds about right. My Koni springs and shocks were 6K about 1 and a half years back, from CRS.

looking good Naughty... nice one

Bash · Post by **Bash** » 10 Aug 2007, 21:37

Nice Naughty, I agree that coil-overs will be best. Being adjustable is an added bonus. The look cannot be achieved on simple springs and shocks but with coils, you'll find the perfect set-up for your everyday use.

Let me know if you manage to find a Zymol agent here in durbs... I'm looking to treat my new cabbie to some of that hotness too.

P.s. The fallout at VW club forums is sad but I agree with your sentiments 100%.

thanks guys

will do - though its been a bit hard to find - but im gonna look a bit harder now - the car needs some work on it - the black gets dirty too quick

P.s. The fallout at VW club forums is sad but I agree with your sentiments 100%.

well we can leave that one there shall we - its just that they bash certain cars even though those are VW's - then call themselves a VW club
