Most probably it will be my next one.  :happy2: It'd be my third about aerodynamics.
This my very first:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Aerodynamik-Automobils-Str%C3%B6mungsmechanik-W%C3%A4rmetechnik-Fahrdynamik/dp/3528039590/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1358044300&sr=1-3

Reading more than 1000 pages of true academic stuff has been a hard task two years ago.  :stupid:

But next I have to read this one (already have it here, but didn't have the time already):

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Competition-Car-Suspension-Practical-Handbook/dp/1844253287/ref=pd_sim_b_1


Still love these two, they have been easy to read:

http://www.amazon.de/Fahrdynamik-Perfektion-Der-optimalen-Fahrwerk-Setup/dp/3613032546/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1351427772&sr=8-1

http://www.autocourse.com/products/driving-on-the-edge/

Much more practical !!


Nice to see you do some brain work before installation of the wing.  :happy2: :happy2: :happy2:

2 kg of the crappy stock spoiler is lots for a piece of plastic without real benefit.
Removing it isn't any loss. I even bet it increases both lift + drag compared to
standard Golfs.  :fighting:

You're right, 5° to 12° seem very practical and you need to avoid stall safely.

BTW, you're going to have the first GTI with true downforce on this forum.  :wink:

Although it's not what I plan for my own GTI, all this info discussed and linked in this thread is extremely interesting  :happy2:

Thanks guys, I'm trying my best to do some brain work before fitting parts to my car for track use. Knowing it is now a track-only car it will get even more hardcore but the limit will be my budget. Maybe after the wing I'll replace the bonnet with a custom carbon one wich is half the weight and will have the 2 large vents on the front that Scirocco cup has. Some other aerodynamic bits will follow (lower side-skirts and a little rear diffuser) but will probably never afford a sequential gearbox to solve my shifting problems (I'm probably loosing 2-3 secs/lap at Hring with my slow shifting). Well, we'll see...

I can't remember fuscobal, have you tried a WOT box. It improved my shifts no end with the Sachs SMF solution i have atm.

Nope, tried one om a 500HP S3 with the same clutch and it was still not smooth enough, although a little better than mine !

Some pics made during the manufacturing of the metal sheet former and then the final aluminium legs. From here, the legs are to be weled to the car and then some rounding of the edges and painting !

Sounds good. Wonder what the price would be and if they also have an aftermarket shifter or it can be used with oem one ? A front-rear only shifter would be nice :)

BTCC and many others seem to use Xtrc 1046 wich is limited to 450NM (a little under my max output) > http://www.xtrac.com/sectors/motorsport/touring-car

I'd consider a stock DQ250 or DQ500 DSG.

With a SH one it will probably be quite cheap but will also need new engine/gearbox software and other possible bits. I was thinking maybe that SQS shifter coupled to the OEM gearbox I have now will help me change gears faster by being front-to-back like on sequential gearboxes or DSG !
