you need to put some telltales on the back of the car and get someone to film you as you drive along to show the airflow

in truth you only need to trip the airflow up(separate it from the body of the car) not stall it that spoiler will stall air causing downforce and also drag.

Ill be modding a rear bumper to reduce the amount of drag.

How much drag difference there will be between the OEM spoiler and the lip one, I dont know.

There isnt any real angle of attack on an oem spoiler, so overall drag differences between the two I doubt will be much..... plus its a big weight saver :)

Im also looking at aero mods to increase downforce on the front also.

some canards on the front will increase downforce or a flat blade lip and you could get alex to make em out of carbon

Spent all day saturday fitting new gearbox and paddle clutch.
Bloody back breaking especially when it took two hours to line box up with the engine when it was out of the engine bay.
But its all sorted and drives even better now.
MASSIVE thanks to Stkprelude for his help.
I couldnt have done it in one day without him.
Took us 7hrs from start to finish.
Cheers mucca
