I think I know what Fuscobal will do... Firstly he hopes the back wheels have enough clearance.
Depending on the rear camber adjustment that might work...

Hi Neil. Can you please tell me who designed the roll cage? Did VWR tell you what bars you need? The "X" (in the center of the rollcage) does not exist in SteveP's car. Did VWR advize you to install an "X" instead of a single bar?
Thanks!  :notworthy:

YES! Nice work, especiallyo n the interior, liking the fact you have still opted for comfort with race in mind.

Thanks Mike, I had a look on the site and as far as I can tell it seems like the same cage.

Yes VWR use these cages in the race cars, I just wanted the rear but had the X members because if I ever extended it to the front it would be FIA certificated.  :happy2:

Hi Sheldon, hope you made a full recovery, bikes, not the safest form of transport, but I'd be back on one tomorrow if I could  :smiley:

A DSG is always going to be harder on the brakes than a manual and I’d cooked them in 4/5 laps of Donington,  (I had to let Ross past in his R26R  :ashamed: it is 75kg lighter though).



Thought I’d try to improve the cooling to the front brakes  :happy2:

63mm Spun Aluminium Air Inlet on to 63mm Ducting.









Aluminium 60>50 Air hose reducer to get some air flow direction.





Stuck a hairdryer (not mine) in the front and seems to work OK.

I've done a track day at Bedford with this fitted but hard to tell if it worked as it was pi$$ing down.

I think that ducting needs to go nearer to the disk as at the distance of wont have much effect.

Rieger  Front Lip Spoiler and Splitter

Looked at a few designs but the Rieger was the only one that looked like it might actually do something.















It may need a few turns on the old KW V3   :wink:
