Technically the car is OK. It has all services at 15.000 kms for the last 286.000 kms. The ride quality is still excellent.

I blame it to the quality of the tires which are kind of China-Made-pseudo-allweathers. I've got massive understeer in the wet even at low speeds (turning left/right while rolling; accellerating on wet surface). So the front tires can't hold the grip. Geometry was done 1 year ago when the wishbones were changed.

One question: Would a Warm Air Intake work on my car? It's a single point injection without MAF sensor.

Pictures:

The only visible modification by now is the lowering of the wiper arms. Ride height is stock. You can also see in picture n°5 that a WAI is easy to be done because for cold start there already exists a vacuum activated WAI.
