Brakes I've decided are awful when stopping at speed.

Going to look at servo upgrades and some Greenstuff pads for now.

Want 280mm with some bigger wheels.

Going to get some Lupo stub axle spacers for the rear beam to push the wheels out a bit, 10mm per side. With some Ford Cosworth high tensile bolts.

Lowered the front, no scraping still.

Broke the splitter anyway.

Want the back to come down just looks gay with soooo much tuck.

Sorry, Golf. Don't have a Polo.

Oh yeah, on inspecting the car underneath and having a damn good look over it I found a missing subframe bolt.

Then checked the entire car and found all was OK.

Didn't stop the banging on wheelspin which is now worse as it's a bit lower. I have decided that it's the exhaust. It comes from the exhaust tunnel.

Also found that the backbox is a much bigger bore so someone has filled it with weld.

hmmmm, don't know why but I thought you got a polo as you couldn't insure the golf, i've gone made.... there's barely any pictures of whats going on so it's easy to get lost in this thread.

I know I should get the camera out.

Need a new splitter. So pleased with the coilovers, it's pretty damned slammed and it's still so comfortable. Probably down to the massive tyres though. Had an incident with a curb on the bumper today due to being way too tired to drive then getting cut up by a van. It was van or curb, just clipped the bumper. No big deal. On a stock car it wouldn't have caught.

Stopped though and got breakfast. Honestly stupid of me to be driving.

Tracking so badly needs doing. It was fine before I dropped it an inch!

368 miles.

VERY mixed driving.

38MPG.

Need to look at the dodgy fuel gauge and as I said after lowering it down an inch, tracking is out. Doesn't pull majorly but the wheels aren't parallel.

Get it sorted tomorrow. It's drives lovely but just over potholes or loose roads cause of the tracking it's a bit odd.

Cleaned it, installed rear speakers.

Stock markings:

Had to run new cables to the back. VW are stupid, the seats cover the speakers. FAIL.

Meh not too bothered, don't use them when no one is in the back anyway.
