Dude you converted that thing to RWD?? Looks superb..

Any chance that would work with a polo? or do you think it's because of the trunk?

I have upgraded the front brakes to larger ones, but the rear ones are just the same as the original ones.. this causes me to to able to brake hard comming into a corner and make it overstear.. It also has to be mentioned that I used about 50 laps on that course training to get it right and then followed by another 20 laps of overstearing

Per: I actually think this is one of the times you rode with me.. but it is not the widest one

the probem with understeering is still there, indeed, but with a little bit of training, you learn how to cope with it.. Yes there is a bit more torque at the end of the derby because of the trunk, but I still believe I can do the same when I get on track with my polo mk1 next year..
