What hot side on your 60-1? I had one of those with a #6. I think the #6 was a big mistake.

It is a .50a/r T4, the specs on the turbo are,

To4e compressor housing, 60-1 hifi compressor wheel, big shaft, ball bearing, stage V (T-350) turbine wheel, with the .50a/r T4 hot side.

I too like the different look of your car but are have you ever felt lack of downforce running without any rear spoiler / wing before? I realise that you're about to go with one but just curious.

Yes I very much feel the rear getting light and the lack of a planted feeling, this is why I am setting up a second hatch with the wing for high speed and the track. I prefer the no wing look.

So you're going to run a 2nd hatch just for track days? That's what I'm planning as I want to keep the lexan in as good condition for longer. I wonder if the lexan can be tinted and would that help with the yellowing from the sun or invite it?

I am going to the track for the first time this season next weekend. It will be more of a test and tune for the car. I did this same event lst year and found a few things I did not like and have not tracked it since.

Just recently I had the front struts revealved, and installed a rear wing and front spoiler. With these two things the car felt completely different, the revalveing of the struts made it a different car.

I also lowered it a bit and put on my track tires and wheels. I tried to take it out and it rubbed a bit in the back in one place and I need to role the fender a bit. I still need to have it aligned and corner balanced, this will happen next week.








I liked how clean it looked befor, but it is easy enough to go back to that. I still like the way it looks with the aero stuff though, it was not what I was originaly going for but I found it was realy needed.

That wing looks a hell of a lot better on your car, all painted etc., than I thought it would. How did it feel, in terms of downforce?

I have not gone much over 120 with it but there is a real difference above 80. The car used to feel a little floaty above 100, now it is solid. I am interested to see how it does on the track with heavy breaking at 130mph. Breaking was the real problem on the track last year.

It is the Rennspeed wing. It is larger than the TRS wing, especialy the lower plain. It is also only two peices, and about a third the price. Quality was OK, about on par with gt-racing stuff, it works though.
