Front splitter on GTR

[GTRCLIVE]

Result means more of the High pressure air getts vented above and to the side of the wheel arch, and you keep more of the Nice Low pressure air under the car, so the rear diffuser works better....More Downforce...

So why dont you fix the front splitter perminently to the chassis and hindge the front Clip seperatly....



Yes and for all of you that havn't met him thats GTW him self on the left...

Also having the splitter fixed means you can join it to the side splitters and contour around the front wheel travel, to make a more complete flat floor....

clive i like the mods youve done to the middle bottom of the front clip...gives the car a more modern look with the lights... was it expensive and hard to mod???

Hey Clive,

Post some more photos, those are like gold for those still building a car.

Agreed, the plan to affix the splitter to the chassis is the only reasonable way to mount a splitter, the problem is that the front clip will strike it when it is opened....unless the hinge is modified. Anyone modified the hinge to allow this arrangement?

Again,

Thanks for the photos.

All helps vent the High pressure area, and stops pressure bleeding of under the car (So less chance of lift), keeping the car more stable at speed....

Hello Dom, SSS is responsible for what you see in the snaps which is a bit of a result in as much as Clive now resides in Canadia
When I speak with him next I will ask him for a price but it will not be cheap.

The uprights are LM3000 items with larger bearings and are powder coated as are the calipers Dom

[GTRCLIVE]

Hard anoidised Uprights, and Chemicaly blacked Steel racing wheel adaptors....

[GTRCLIVE]

The front clip in it's first incarnation was a removeable panel only. But I didn't like that idea as you needed 2 poeple to get it off and having the Fuse box in the normal place meant that if a Fuse blow in the night and you where on your own your stuffed. So I modifed the mounting bars with rose joints. They are further forward than the lower part of the body touching the Splitter so it works fine and doen't hit anything when pivoting up.....

The Red line is where the Rose joint is, and the blue line the bolt thought the Mounting plains...when at rest the rose joint is hidden in the mounting
as to pass SVA..

I used these Uprights but machined them for Porsche 996 hubs and bearings which are much beafier.... bonus is that Porsche brakes and wheels fit my car.

Porsches are for girls.....

[andygtt]

Corvettes are for wide boys...

Still not had an answer.
Does the lip out the front of the splitter do any work?
If yes then how much can it be reduced and still give reasonable performance.

Cheers
