I have one ally one on my Tamora using various pick up points such as the body mount bolts and chassis cross member bolts it's in two sections as I leave the tunnel open to let the exhaust heat out other wish the car becomes a Turkish sauna! It runs from the back of the front arches to front of the back arches. There's an access hole for the jump lead connection.
It doesn't make too much difference on the performance of the car other than keep the underside of the car clean and it felt a little more stable on the autobahn in zee farzaland at 161 mph according to the sat nav. But that could just have been that it wasn't very windy that day.

interested in pics of that. im putting some bracing under the engine in the Ls tam, so the steel panel structurally will be superfluous, but i have wondered about using ali plate from under the front of the chassis, back under the engine, to replace it and tidy up again.It doesn't make too much difference on the performance of the car other than keep the underside of the car clean and it felt a little more stable on the autobahn in zee farzaland at 161 mph according to the sat nav.

If you go to a flat floor thus reducing the pressure underneath, to get the best from it you'll want a big wing/splitter etc to increase pressure from above. A big diffuser at the rear will help the air streams meet up behind..
Depends what your ultimate goal is really.. Ive always thought the T-cars could benefit from such work but its really whether theres any real benefit found in road use.

Cheers Buzz, much appreciated. I'm wondering about a c/f one...
CF will look brilliant the only small issue with that is remembering to use a load spreading plate for jacking the car up,this would help negate damage to c/f . I went down the ally route as it cost me around£15in 3mm ally sheet I will look at c/f much further down the road I was quoted £300 for a sheet of 2mm 8x4 via a mate of mine at a well known race chassis manufacturer
Steve I'll get you some pickys of the car when I take it off the road in a few weeks. But a man of your calibre will suss the task easily that's for sure

It's pointless going down that route on a road car its a lot of fannying about and as I've mentioned the difference at 160mph is basically unnoticeable or chance in any part of the speed range + the Tamora has very little aero and to make it balanced on the aero that's means time in a wind tunnel there's no point bolting aero on and hoping for the best or guessing.... The function of the floor for me was to keep the under area clean and reduce a bit of turbulence ...nothing moreDepends what your ultimate goal is really..

Don, we ran a flat floor on the SEAT supa Copa race car. It is difficult to explain how hard it is to get it to stay on the car - there is a such a suck from the floor when done right it is literally trying to be ripped off the car - and it did on a number of occasions until we found a new way of attaching it. Remember it was a factory car and a factory floor so they had put a lot of research in.

A lot lower ride height though, I would have imagined? I was just thinking of ways to clear up the air flow. Interesting though.... Did you end up using Dzeus fasteners?
No idea how they did it, there were a couple of different ways they did it but sorted it in the end, the three sections were about £6K so you did not want to lose them.Gassing Station | Tamora, T350 & Sagaris | Top of Page | What's New | My Stuff
