Ok, suspension update was done week earlier. Eibach pro-kit (-30mm) springs, Sachs Touring rear shocks and Boge Turbo Gas front shocks. Also rear bushings were renewed. Attached are couple of shots. Handling improved 200% :)

Nice, I might say :)

Here's also a videoclip I took inside my friends tuned up VW Polo 1.9TDI, equipped with semislicks :)

click, for the video. Lenght aprox 6mins.

Looking good - post some post-suspension work pics up. Does look like you'd benefit from them - cut down on some of that roll on your track pics - eeek!

^Look 5 posts up, there are those after shots. I believe total drop is about 25mm. It did manouver a lot better on track. Next issue is better tyres. And by that I mean a little bit wider and lower (profile) and bigger rims (16"). And if I could affort then a real semislicks would be nice... 195/50/15??. Well that will be next summers plans. Some ice setup will happen next.

I'll be editing a videoclip of my driving on track.... stay tuned :)

I almost forgot....

Couple of friends advised me to improve the air intake. Original intake trumpet on airbox is about 40mm in diameter. I replaced it with something larger that I found on my local hardware store. Naturally it did not fit straith forward but after using knife it did :) Cold air is taken straight behind the front bumber, naturally there is grillguard front of the duct. Attached are couple on progress and a after shot.
