Hey guys thought i would make a thread about what i have done and how they have affected my car.
Mods to date.

2.APR tune 3 program standerd, 95 and 98.
3.CAI, Pod and heat shield
4.Audi 312mm Rotors, Audi S3 calipers, Textar pads and Martini Brake Fluid
5.Whiteline Rear Swaybar.
6.Yokahama Advan AD07 tyres thanks to a mates Ralliart Colt.

2. The APR tune has made the car come alive. The car feels like a complete new beast with torque increased and power increased makesa big smile. I feel the most improvement is its much stronger down low. For the price and power its well worth it.
3. One day i got bored and tried to improve the Air induction. The bigest problem is the location of the battery, blocking any air flow near the intake.
I made a cardboard knock up of a shield and then started construction of a shield made out of a heat refection meterial and then situated a pod into the shield.

After a while of driving on the new air intake it felt smoother there was no jerking when lifting off the throttel after heavey exceleration. The sound was much louder as well. Have now gone back to the standered air box just to see how it runs.
4.After finding a set of Audi rotors and calipers in Qld i purchased them for my old Golf MK4 generaton they cost around $300 pluys frieght. After an attemped at fitting they didnt go even close to fitting due to the generation have diferent hubs to the gti. So they sat in the shed until a year later when i fitted them to my polo. After cleaning and a good coat of red paint they were ready for fitting.

The pads are just an OEM textar pad little bit better than standerd but still has made a big improvement orver standered.
Fitting took me about 5 hours due to the fact i had never bleed lines or fited brakes before, but it was not a hard task and was done with tools i already had and a few jack stands. The calipers and carriers were a direct bolt on and used the standerd S3 lines due to the fact the polo ones were too short.
