here is a link to rear wing retrofit that has videos showing coding options for different angles and speeds that the GTS/TurboS spoiler can be deployed. i wasn't aware it changed angles until i saw the video. it appears at some speed over 120ish? i think that the spoiler adjusts the angle but can be coded to deploy earlier and change angles at a lower speed
The wing changes angle above 100 Mph or above 56 Mph if Sport Plus is ON.
did some experimenting yesterday and sure enough rear spoiler does change angles. I basically was cruising down interstate at 70 with cruise on, wing auto deploy in normal position like always, then switched to sport plus mode and watched spoiler angle change in mirror. Definitely looks more aggressive just don't want to cruise in sport plus so that's where coding comes in to reprogram how and when spoiler deploys and adjusts angle.
I had another thread on here about adding the wing but to keep it all in one place, here's the new carbon ducktail fitted.
I just got done tinting the lights... tried a couple different films but the one I had most success with was VViVid as it has air channels to route bubbles and doesn't stick or activate the glue until you hit it with heat. I think it came out "ok" - few dust bunnies snuck underneath but Im happy.
And now I'm halfway through wrapping the diffuser in top grade dry carbon...
For what it's worth, anyone looking to tint their lights should avoid Lamin-x (I got mine through Suncoast). It was cut too small and was terrible to work with. Ended up throwing it all away.
you've been busy. looking good. good info on taillight film. i'm wanting to get mine resprayed to cover turn signal section that was left clear. may try the film in the short term.
Thanks guys. Yeh, I love the look of leaving the clear section alone, too. Was going to follow the other thread on here by sending it to a pro to have them tinted like factory but that's for down the line, I think. For now the film worked great.
Carbon wrap on diffuser done now, too 😊
Taking it to Pikes Peak Airstrip on Sunday for the 1/2 mile races, so let's see how it does 😊
Custom Vivid Racing tune as well as a tune on race fuel for events and 22" Vorsteiner wheels are on their way - and yep, will be powder coating in my custom green with gold flake again 😂 It's now kinda my thang 😂😂
Yeh the 1/2 mile is weird - some cars I was expecting to do great were actually appauling and the ones I thought would be middle of the road absolutely destroyed others! There was Merc AMG with only downpipes and a tune that was almost breaking the 170mph (I think it was like 168?). Oh well. It's part of what made me drop the money on customizing a tune and doing one for race fuel too, in preparation for the new turbos and exhaust system later this year.
Tunes arrived today - 91 octane and race fuel Wheels arriving later this week! Will be uploading the 91 octane one this afternoon and try to get it on the dyno in the coming weeks.
