Been a while since I have been on the forum, and the first post I looked for was to see what you were tinkering with now.  :laugh:

As usual, a superb build and a fantastic car John.  :love:

The DSG Remap should make a massive difference, we recently acquired the latest equipment to do all the new DSG boxes in South Africa and the guys are loving these little Polo's.

Enjoy the wee bugger John! :signLOL:

micsta, more intelligent DSG is indeed what this car needs even more than engine power boosting !

Couldn't agree more!  :happy2:

The software seems to make quite a difference though, I have not had the pleasure of working on the Polo myself but we have done a few Golf R's and RS3's.  :evilgrin:

Anyway, I got a phone all today from Eibach HQ, turns out that me and the little Polo only went and got the 3rd fastest time of the weekend on the handling course.  :jumpmove: :jumpmove: :star: :pomppomp:

Won a £200 voucher so I've ordered the front ARB  :happy2:

So next month I'll be in the VWDriver magazine twice!

Statllers did well, Fastest 2 Porsches of the weekend, fastest RS6 and 2nd fastest MKV on the strip AMD mine on the handling course.  :notworthy:
