17" X 7.5" Audi S3 Ronal wheels. 5x 100 stud pattern.
Wheels have been professionally reconditioned and painted a slightly brighter silver than factory (done by The wheel workshop, Albion)....
Thanks Sam and Gavin, sounds like porting the exhaust manifold may be the smartest move for me, followed by review of tune. I think I have a spare manifold here, so to source someone to port it. It's...
Hi Sam (and Gavin),
What turbo and manifold are you planning to run? You know how I always teeter on whether to tinker further or not, but considering a swap of turbo, which justifies removing the...
Teamshaw, I'm running Kmac tops on mine that are camber castor adjustable. I'm running at max castor which I think it around 4deg, with -3.5deg camber of left and -2.5 deg on right. All the QLD...
You might get occasional scrubbing on bigger hits due to the H&R's drop and bump stops, though with that being said, your rolling diameter would be unaffected. I wouldn't expect it to be frequent...
I've got the same wheels in an ET35 offset (though 17x8). It'll really depend on the caliper you're running. I have Brembo's and it's very close, like 1-2mm clearance to the caliper. Whether it...
I used a Gates kit from Sparesbox. I think the workshop manuals are a sticky on the top of this page. The job is quite straight, most of my anxiety came from jacking the engine up and down getting to...
That looks a very tidy buy Sam, and well equipped. Good to keep a VW amongst the track day crowd, too many car park warriors out there :blowtorch:
I've been quiet on the forum for a long time now, but still getting the occasional track day in. Been doing mostly short course events the last year or two and having a blast at the different driving...
Hi Sam, so sorry to have seen and heard about this. You've put so much time, effort and blood into the polo's you've had over years, would be a pity to see you move on, but can equally understand the...
Thanks for organising Paul. Good little session this morning.
Yeah, it'll just skate around on the centres at that point. For a Motorkhana event that pressure is good/got merit. Circuit, it's a tad high.
If it's wet, please DON'T do that. That's absolutely the opposite approach to take. If it's wet, run per the tyre placard. If it's dry, I'd argue that way over inflated, you'd be over 50psi after a...
Look over the fuses on the battery with a fine eye, the hair line fractures can be really quite fine. Also, battery earthing has been known to cause a few gremlins, so wouldn't rule out cleaning the...
Sam and I track our keys. I think Sam is more short course, I used to be more race track and recently being doing short course. Tune is a good start the downpipe itself isn't overly an issue until...
I've never ran without a bar on an open diff. I'd imagine on dirt that it would be quite good in order to get maximum wheel travel and weight transfer. Would depend if you can get it rotating enough...
Hi Paul, please add me too thanks. Red Polo
I put a wavetrac in my car in 2016. I pulled the gearbox myself and gave that to my local trusted workshop. I had already spoken to the local Wavetrac distributor, so my mechanic pulled the box apart...
I'd ballsed up when putting the hydraulic tensioner on and released the bloody pin from it. I don't have a bench vice, though my tensioner seems to have quite a bit of low resistance / free play at...
Hi, I got everything off last night. Yeah it's all the same as to what's on the car and the Gates kit. There was no washer under the tensioner pulley. The gear coming off feels and looks much the...
Ok yup, started pulling bits off last night. Won’t happen fast, but will happen.
Great project and development work Sam.
I've got a Gates Timing Belt Kit K055491XS in the garage ready to go. Apparently that's all the correct gear, will know in the next week or two.
