RAM Air for Volkswagen

[boygenius]

www.aircooled.net sells lexan windows for your car in three and six piece sets. They have both bolt in and direct replacement for your car.

Hmmmmmmmmmm...

i couldn't find them right now, but I'll keep looking. That would be sweet to run lexan on all six windows, i just wonder if there are any down sides to doing that. Do they make the driver windows one peice or standard winged windows, can you roll them up easy, what about tinting?
I'm glad you let me know aircooled.net has direct replacement windows, I already knew about there bolt in kits? I'll keep up on my home work!

They should be right in the drag racing body parts section.

what about the Remmele style CF ducts that mold into the section in front of the rear fenders below the quarter windows?

Sorta similar concept as the NACA ducts but in the body instead of the windows?

Does remmele have a website? I have tried looking but everything I find is in a differant language and I can't translate them all to find the correct one. Does remmele have a distributor in the USA? Any informationm would be appriceated.

[vujade]

you can use Babel Fish to translate any webpage into english. Just copy the URL of the website you want to translate into the space allotted on the above website.

Remmele used to have aircooled.net as a US distributor, but they had a fallout and now you will have to order it thru Oliver @ Power Tuning Parts in Germany. He can get you anything from Remmele & is more available too.

Thanx.

Thanx vujade, I've been looking for a site to translate a couple of sites into English for me... I've wanted to do the carbon fiber ducts from Remelle for a long time ever since I saw them in a VWt magazine article on the German Look. I'm gonna check it out.

Got some more news... I figured it out.
I've been contemplating wether or not the "roof cowl" would create wind drag, since it's about 3" above the roof line. I am going to make "wings" that will go in the opening and angle them slightly to reduce drag. The way it's set up, they will look mor elike window shudders than wings... I still need to do some more research and figure out the exact angle to put them at so they will reduce drag but not interfear with the induction prosess...

What about recessing the scoop into the roof line. You have plenty of head room so you could afford to loose a few inches in head room for a way cool scoop. Just a thought since it would have less drag than a raised scoop. You would just have to find out how the air behaves over the top of the car at speed to know where to place the inlet of the scoop.

That's what i have been thinking of...

For the rain I split the tubing to the enginecompartement in two.. The upper tube goes to the engine, the smaller under tube goes to outside the car an let the rain and other water floud back besides the rearaxle..
