The long slim covers of the rear trailing arms may also fit on a 4-motion but not sure.

Yup...
I am curious too see if it increases my mpg values. For the Nurburgring trip I need the best mpg values in order not to spend too much money on the gas (for the long trip from Romania to Germany). In 2011 I got 47 MPG and I now hope to have even better values.
Also with a rear wing I hope it will have some noticeable effects on the track.

Well guys, as I said this is a time of investigation and planning... I am currently expecting the wider fenders and searching for seat, seatbelts and rollcages :innocent:
Also I can't help but watch the laps I made during my last Nring trip. Personally I like to watch Nring laps (mine or others) and maybe there are some of you that like do to that.
So, as long as I uploaded to youtube a new lap of the Nring I think it is rude not to share:
And as usual a few words:
- this is a lap that I have done prior to my personal best.
- although there is some traffic I managed a BTG of 9.06.
- and some interesting things from the film:
@ 4.49 - I get a little oversteer midcorner. This is not the first time I get oversteer at this corner. I also feel the backend trying to get loose on other inclines like the Eau Rouge climb (Raidillon at Spa Francorchamps). I am the only one that feels this? I think I need a rear wing :smiley:...
@ 5.10 - you can see the difference between my 155bhp car and a M3 E46 (~350bhp). Just before the bend, in Nicky Lauda's corner I signal right to let the BMW pass but for some reason he don't overtake me. So I am able to get a decent exit out of the corner and so does the BMW (he has a better exit). This was it is easy to see the difference in bhp :smiley:
@ 7.35 - I change from 3rd to 3rd. I laugh with my friends about occasionally changing from 3rd to 3rd. Usually this happens (it always happened till this film) when I should be in 4th but because I have to let another car pass or I have some traffic I am in 3rd. Than I forget that I am not in the normal gear and try to change. This time I think I lost concentration because of the VW Caddy I am overtaking. Anyway, my mistake...
@ 9 09 - I miss 4th gear. I think I need a short shift (the one for the GTI does not fit the 6 speed gearbox of the TSI).
All the best! :drinking:
P.S. I just noticed that the quality is not quite the same as the raw video I have :sad1:. Sorry!
