A4 installation booklet is 4 pages long!
 
Seems to be the correct size all round...

@Andy_Mac- not planning on painting it.

 

@newsuba- No. Went for the factory delete option. 30 years ago I'd have gone for a big wing - now I like the look without. Car blends in more with others around and doesn't attract unwanted attention. Either that or I'm just getting to be an old git :( (which is closer to the truth xD)

I like it. I was undecided between a vortex generator and a rear window spoiler, and it was the gap behind the vortex that made me decide on the spoiler. It also seemed to suit black and white cars, but not silver. I just put mine on last weekend.

someone might nick it 
 
does the vortex generator work better with a rear spoiler, as on the evo ix/x ?

The tow eye cost me like $10 off of aliexpress, anyone can nick away

It's your car and you can do what you want with it, by why sully a very expensive car with a piece of S*** like that?

Do you actually track it, and have a need to be pulled out backwards from time to time?

If you did need to have the car recovered by that point, you owe it to the person towing you out not to use a horrid piece of junk that might snap at any moment and damage a person or vehicle.

Nah haven't tracked it - Yet. It's purely for looks. The rear is boring without something to break it up like the tow hook. Plus starts heaps of conversations like "what's this for?" "Does it break down often"

I'd be worried that it would swing into the bumper and wear the paint...

 

OEM Vortex Generator is essentially for looks. Unless it is tested in a wind tunnel and the fins are narrow enough, it ain't going to really do anything effective in reality.

Car wash smacks mine into the bumper but hey, a respray is only $350 :P and when I launch it flops out from the g's

Car wash? Lazy bugger - do it yourself  


Nah haha $16 gives full foam and spray then wax and dry, much easier. Then get a detail job done every 2-3 months and stay ontop of the carwash and wax :P

another question for the armchair aerodynamicists...
 
does the rear under the bumper spoiler do anything ?
 
to augment  or confuse the factory diffuser ?
 


It looks cool is what it does

Mine also made a cool scraping noise when I drove up steep driveways. Not so much since I got fatter tyres, though.

I hit driveways on a angle and still scrape. Also end up on 2-3 wheels and the traction control has a fit...

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
