shame if it goes! But would be a worth while upgrade!
if it does go, first dibs on the engine mounts!

You will love having buckets mate makes so much difference,put mine in the other day and its like driving a different car best handling upgrade I have made.
Trafic 140dci
Yeah can't wait to get them in, cup seats aren't the best anyway lol, never driven a car with fixed buckets and harness before, got so many bits now I need to fit just no time as been working away alot

Buckets and harnesses are mint - right up to the point when your strapped in and can't reach the door to close it because you forgot, or you want to adjust the heater! Lol! Trust me, it happens!
They do hold you in place so much better though. I do the 10hr drive to the Nurburgring in mine as well. Nice and comfy!

Little bit of an update, got all my parts
Only had time to fit my seats this weekend, rear strut brace (done it even tho it's standard suspension as its only 2 bolts lol), and fitted my new rear bumper, well it's second hand and needs a repray, but isnt recessed so I'm happy. Haven't got time to get the other stuff in as been working away and moving house.
Love the seats, couldn't believe the weight of the standard seats compared to there, pulled some more carpet, insulation and other bits out whilst there was no seats in.
Hopefully should get my engine mounts fitted next weekend.
Sorry for lack of pictures but have no Internet just yet as moved house last week.
See you all at FMS for the rolling road day

FINALLY AN UPDATE WITH PICTURES
Last week had the rolling road meet at FMS in which my car decided to die the day before, sputtering and smoking bad, and only made 184bhp, when it should of been up on that by at least 10bhp.
this weekend i set about trying to fix the problem, so first thing i done, was a service. (well overdue tbh.)
this consisted of (oil, plugs, oil filter, New Magnecore 8.5mm red leads) cleaned my throttle bodies (a little bit of oil residue built up in them) and fitted a Mocal oil cooler. and a Genuine Jenvey throttle cable that doesn't use a bleedless nipple, i was also going to fit a small rad and fan, but i'm missing a bung, so maybe next week
so anyway, here the picture of everything when i started:
My car before:
Slam panel removed, air filter removed to clean ITB's and for access to oil filter:
Dirty trumpets:
at this point i then couldn't get my oil filter off... i thought it would just unscrew, so had to call upon a good mate Matt (D4vy) to help me out and get some filter plier's from screw fix lol, betime Matt got there it was then rush to put it back together before it got dark lol.
when i drained the oil out, it was very black, glad i changed it, looked like it needed doing a long time ago.
car started first time, run's better than ever now, and here's the pictures from the next day you'll also notice solid engine mount, ecu has been stuck back on properly my new cobra seats and rear strut brace which is very handy for the tyre foam
if the weather holds off next weekend should be fitting my Bilstein B14's and Rad if i can get the bung i need.

everyone has seen aerocatch's before, wouldn't want to put the pro's to shame with my professional job of fitting themWhy no pictures of the aerocatches
Needs more cable ties!

Slow red one
Deff a pro job!everyone has seen aerocatch's before, wouldn't want to put the pro's to shame with my professional job of fitting them

doesn't have to be omex, ktec do an ecu tdf do the ec1
Looking good mate but you REALLY need to ditch those short trumpets and put some 90mm ones on - will be restricting power loads
Also the trumpet isn't lined up with the throttle body on your photo
I've just fitted the polo rad - gives LOADS more room I'm dead pleased with it. I'll update my progress blog later with some pics
Interesting about the jenvey throttle cable not needing a solderless nipple - how does it connect to the clio throttle pedal?

these came with my itb's but at the time of getting them fitted, funds didnt allow for that. will be going for 90mm trumpets and an air filter with a solid back plate at some point (waiting untill i get it cammed so i can get it all mapped afterwards)
was hoping to get mine on, got to try and find a bung for it now, will have a look at your thread when you do, have had a few looks.
the jenvey throttle cable has a nippled fixed on the end of the throttle body and fix's to the throttle peddle with a 'cheese block' electrical connector, sounds bodged but you then have 4 screws holding the cable so much more secure. Danny @ 519 is your man for this cable
Trafic 140dci
thanks mate, you completed saved the day getting me them plier's, i owe you for that
still running spot on, done probably 20 miles today, not a single problem

Ahh ok I see - makes sense
I had the bung missing for mine too - did a google search for the local radiator repair place - they had one in stock for £2
Plastic screw - it's an M22x1.5 if that helps

been trying to find one online with no luck :/ as working away next week, fingers crossed i can get one saturday morningAhh ok I see - makes sense

If you have one/ can get one can you pm me a price and your PayPal please as i need one for the weekend
If not DannyR I'll be in touch
Thanks
You can get the radiator sensors/switches from GSF mate - they're only about £8 - just ask for one for a 1995 Polo 1.4
They're pretty much all m22 x 1.5
I just didn't fancy having an unused connector stuck out the back of the rad lol - OCD fail

I had a plastic one break on my rad outside the pub one night, it was seriously s**t.
Trafic 140dci
Great lol as I've just gone with the plastic bung off DannyR as working away so he can post it to me ready for weekend
Never mind I'll just have to keep a regular check on its condition, will look better than an old sensor too lol
It was probably through some fault of my own, sure you'll be fine!
I've had the plastic ones go in the past too - but they've always been on 5 or 6 year old radiators
I'm sure it will be fine - and to be honest at £2 for a bung I can replace it as a service item lol

Snetterton 9th of December is looking very promising
Feel free to come of and have a nose
probably doesn't bwarppp as loud as other ITB's as I only have 40mm trumpets Snetterton 9th of December is looking very promising
Feel free to come of and have a nose
60mm trumpets are optimal with the KTR direct to head bodies on a standard engine
Trafic 140dci
Mine are jenvey's, hense the throttle cable I bought off you
read on here 90mm trumpets best for them
