I almost got a Wagner for my Audi, it was a similar setup, IC, RAD and Fan all sandwiched together. It's a nightmare to install and deal with, but it was a staple on the track, so it must not have raised engine temps significantly. Granted, that's how it is from factory as well.
Now fitting it...
Anyone know what class a slightly modified FL5/DE5 would run in? I don't need to be competitive, just don't want to deal with protests. Assuming it would be STX? My mods allow me to stay in Street Touring I believe and will be on street tires.
What is everyone running as their cold tire pressure for Auto-X on the stock tires? Was going to start around 38psi front, but wanted to see if folks are leaving the rears at stock pressure or bumping them up a bit as well, or going as high as 41 in the front like is recommended for high speed...
Silver or black, both work, I just thought black matched the factory DP a little more. My opinion on sound won't be relevant since I have a DE5 so different exhaust. It is definitely louder in Sport+ but not at all in comfort. I didn't notice much spool difference, but it does seem to pull...
As per above, you aren't going to find a CARB approved downpipe. The next best thing IMO is the Two Step Performance downpipe. It shouldn't throw a code (I haven't gotten one to date) and it doesn't use a defouler to trick the secondary O2/ECU. As long as you reuse the stock heat shields, it is...
Just want to state, any helmet that meets SA2020 is not a "Walmart-Type" helmet. A $200 SA2020 helmet is built to the same crash specs as a $2000 SA2020 helmet. I won't say a $1K helmet isn't worth it, because it is, but not because of it's ability to protect your head in a crash.
NASA TT - "Both front side windows must otherwise be in the down position while on track." Most racing bodies require front windows down so you should be fine.
One thing I didn't see mentioned, the best helmet is one that fits YOU well. So if you have a local shop that stocks SA rated helmets make the effort to check them out in person.
Racequip, Conquer, G-Force, Zamp, and Pyrotect all make decent entry level options. All should protect you fine as...
For those with spacers, especially 15mm front, are you getting any spray on the side of your car? I loved the look on my previous car, but it only looked good until I hit a puddle or it rained and the side of my car became a mess...
