Re: charlie's na6
Looks good.
The only thing I can think is that the rear seems relatively tame compared to the front.
Any plans for the rear bar at all?
Your old diffuser would suit perfectly.

Re: charlie's na6
Thanks heaps for that. I wasnt sure about the angle so just left if at that. Next time ill reduce the angle

Those times are really good for your first time at the track and on street tyres.
you might want to run your wing at a much shallower AOA (angle of attack). 3D element wings like to be run at 0-10 degrees for the main plain. at the angle you have yours it will be giving heaps of drag and probably less downforce then at 5 or so degrees.
Here are a few articles.

Re: charlie's na6
I'll see what I can do.
As for an update my indicators rocked up today
yay haha.
Pretty much spending done for a long while haha. Just gonna try and get as much track time as possible.
If figured all I want is 160rwkw for daily and track and then have a switch wired in for high boost. Which I want to be at like 220 rwkw just to have straight line fun

Re: charlie's na6
it'll be interesting to see some lap times on full boost and low boost.
Awesome build dude. Serious hard on material haha.
Oh, have you installed the bias adjuster yet?

Re: charlie's na6
i dont think there would be much gains if i had it on high boost with current brakes/tires.
Nar i havent had time to do it yet.. But that reminds me.. i hope i remember where i put it
Have you done urs yet ?

Re: charlie's na6
Yeah - you might get away with different pads - ultimately comes down to your tire though....

Realistically, any idea what the max usable rwkw figure is before you need to add weight in the boot?
Like most guys, I'm impressed by big numbers but I'm also not interested in wasting money on unusable power modz.
