Thanks. The RUF bi-plane wing is usually fixed in the up position, but I thought it looked a little too "boy racer" when it was parked so I didi a project where I converted it to be active aero like the upper wing on the Twin Turbos. Now it's more understated when parked and below 77 MPH but lifts automatically for the additional downforce at higher speeds. Here are 2 pics - one with the wing up (older smoke taillights) and one with it layed down with the newer Dectane taillights.

 

looks really good

 

was suposed to ship monday but of course its late.... shipping today I am told. Painful to deal with them

 

Sorry to hear about the problems your are having.

Are you running PCCBs?

 

yup pccb

 

received it finaly... parts look good

 

I just ran across some interesting reading on this subject in the official Technics book I recently received... see the attached shot of the section talking about those inserts at the front of the air box being there to allow sound to escape but to "avoid the intake of warm air...". I'm thinking that PhilD's observation of this not mattering at speed and only affecting the intake charge at slow/stopped speeds is correct (maybe affecting off-the-line performance?), but I just thought it was interesting to see Porsche directly mentioning that they address this issue with that polyamide material in the sound inserts.

 

good read !!

here is install pics...

Wish tips were a bit higher

I don't see the pics, but depending on how much higher you're trying to get the tips, changing to RSS's semi-solid motor mounts will lift then about 1/4" at the bumper since they don't sag under the weight of the engine like the OEM hydraulic (rubber) ones do. Will also make the car drive and shift better as it keeps the mass of the engine from shifting around under load.

 

good tip thanks will do

mk3boy, did you ever go to the RSS motor mounts to lift the exhaust tips? If so, what did you think of them?
