Hello all,

Bought a Polo GTI 9N3 recently as a second car, daily driver, shopping trolley, and maybe track toy.

Quick background check, I work in an engineering shop as a manager, project lead, machinist, designer etc. Worked in Defence, auto, etc. Working with Solidworks, about to start in SolidCAM, more CNC 2-3-5 axis stuff. Always looking out for an a project, but I'll always buy a well made aftermarket part before making my own.

Got a penchant for fast things, sport bikes, track days, even mountain bikes!

I joined the forum to get a handle on the how's and whys of working on the car, why you've chosen particular parts etc. The normal forum things. I'm about to embark on a rebuild job on the Polo's suspension to be ready for a sneaky track outing.

Cheers all,

Pete

Welcome to the forum.
If it turns out to be too slow at the track.... Let me know.

Hey man thanks for the offer, but I track a GSXR600 reasonably often and everything is going to seem slow by comparison. I'll be a roundabout champion in this thing but hardly setting track records.

With that in mind it could do with a tune in the future...
