The clock has ticked over

[mgbond]

Just flicked over to 50k miles. That's 8k on new engine

And here is its present:



The carbon blends perfectly with my dipped splitters. Thanks Si.

[TuxMan]

Ha ha congrats mate 50k is good going , S flaps look cool

[Gadgeroonie]

Tux how much are the s flaps ?

[mgbond]

They took all of 5 mins to fit until I noticed you have to remove rear wheels to do the rears. Lol

[djdubs]

Those look great! Out of interest, where do you find all the goodies to fit to your car? I'm in the process of a strip down and repaint of mine and would like some carbon bits and pieces but can't find any websites for inspiration or availability?

[mgbond]

Well, u found this site. Lol

Tux is the man to speak to and there is reverie and pro alloy.

Ok cheers.. Your car looks great btw, same colour as mine..
Tux, if you have time please pm me with details of the goodies you do. Thanks

[Scooby P1]

Damn, i am quite keen for a set now. Couldn't make my mind up at Rockingham.

Tux, don't suppose Jetstream have a set up there they could fit this week?

I personally wouldn't use the word "perfectly"

Mine ticked over 40,000 a couple of weeks ago actually. Does it count if you've had a new engine though?

That's because you miss understood what I was talking about. I was referring to the alignment of the S flap overhang to my splitter.

But of course the carbon pattern also matches

Deflect the air away from getting traped Inside the wheel arch, which creates lift I think?

[djdubs]

Yep that's right Bondy ,They also create the downforce by not disturbing the air over the rear wing which is something that canards can do ive also seen a slight reduction in brake temps as well !

The rear ones also help the air around the rear tyre .

I suspect they tidy the air up so that it goes straight down the side of the car rather than tumbles (and some gets caught in the wheel arch).... so should have a positive effect right to the rear of the car not just the front wheel area.

little lips like this can have a huge effect of aero.

[Gadgeroonie]

will fitting them to the front affect the air into the side pods ?

[djdubs]

Looks like we're sorted now to get cracking so watch this space. I'll keep everyone updated. By all means register your interest here.. Thanks

Sorry, replied to wrong thread! Bloody iPhone

Does any of it actually matter? Surely stuff like this is only worth having when you've absolutely got to the point where you and nobody else can drive the car any faster? Otherwise thevariability in laptimes by inconsistency far outweighs anything you've done to the car, save the huge 600bhp kick up the arse you get on the straights.
