    Happy polo

    Hey guys if any one is keen to have a look had the polo at the track on sunday with front and rear sway bars and S3 brakes and was so happy with the car.
    Handeling is so sharp at the mo. Only prob i had with traction off was getting traction.
    was lapping slightly quicker than my mates Integra Type R DC2 1.10 sec and i got down to a 1.09 sec he has modified suspension so cars and very similar.

    The track was Barskerville 2.1km long.


    Tyres were very worn be the end of the day o well they held up very well.
    The day was a BMW track day the E36 M3 with semi slicks were running 1.06 sec so well impressed with the car. Guys if u get the chance get to a track so much fun learnt a heap about the cars handeling on the edge.

    Hoyhoy.
    Looks like a very neat run, seems to be sitting very level, well done.
    So you are happy with the front & rear sway bars.
    I have coilovers which have made a big differnce, but thinking that with front & rear bars may-be better again.
    Hooroo.

    Hey PoloGTI,
    Did you get the rear first then the front or both together?

    I've been reading through old posts and I know some have said don't bother with a new front while others said get both.

    What do you think?

    Looking very good. And I agree, getting out on the track is the most fun you will have in your car. I've got one coming up in 3 weeks time at Wakefield. There is actually a few of us getting to the track which is good to see, better then bragging bout street results.

    This Wakey day will be the first outing with my RSB, looking forward to it. And being August and Goulburn, looking forward to some nice cool temps.

    Congrats on the times compared to the M3 as well, really good showing. Wish I had the $$$ to spend, might have some changes coming up thanks to Mr. Howard.

    aus liebe zum automobil
