Black magic Mk5 GTI track car

No pics with the "insides" of the install, just the "outsides". However, the 2 mounting points have been heavily reinforced with a welded steel plate under the hatch's upper metal layer !

On my last track day I succeeded boiling the fluid on my 1st session. The next logical step was to find a way and cool the brakes. While building my brake ducts, I've also found the VWRacing front air-dam, which sits about 6cm lower than the original bumper, was blocking the air flow through the oem vent towards the brakes !! And the upgrade >

You can clearly see how the vwr airdam is blocking the air through the oem duct

First impressions after the latest track day (mid November) are very positive. Not even the slightest hint of fade and was able to push much harder than before due to the extra confidence. Best lap time was now 1:58.74 as opposed to 2:05.xx on the previous track day. Not all the credit goes to the brakes. The Federal FZ-201 tires are just fabulous. The grip they had over the "end of life" R888 was just phenomenal. The comparison is not the best as everybody knows the Toyos lose grip on the second part of their life !
