Pictures of new Custom Aluminum Splitter

[DavidSalama]

Thought I would share pictures of a custom splitter we made here locally in Denver NC. I had custom welded helicoils in brackets which were fiberglassed under the front clip. In all, there are 19 bolts. The splitter protrudes 4 inches and is made from 1/8 inch aluminum which is primed and painted flat black. I think it came out great! I purchased my car from builder AllenGTR BTW, and have highly modified the car including building a high performance Chevy 401 with 560hp, added custom sway bar, race pads,adjustable brake bias valve, longer 4th and 5th gears in G50, side cable shifter, CCW wheels 285 in front, 335 rear, modification to front clip and wheel well to provide clearance for wheels. The car is now phenominal, and I am loving every minute with it.

And I just realized I can't find the upload button to add the pictures. How do I do it??

Wow. Wheels look great. What were the arch mods to clear wheels? Do you know the 4th and 5th ratios?

nice!!!!! - why 898? or did I miss something - Hpower? Nice house, car, lake, weather..... oh poo I hate you!

[ttweed]

How far can the front bodywork tilt open before the splitter hits the ground? Do you have to jack it up to open the front?

I am interested in the mods necessary to fit the 285s up front as well.

Thx,
TT

Very nice. Would that be Allen H. from Denver, CO?

[actuary]

Sweet. Been looking at a front splitter for a while, just sets off the whole front of the car IMHO.

Forget the car, the view from the garage is brilliant, right over the lake....

[DavidSalama]

Builder,

Yes, I purchased my GTR from Allen H originally of Denver, CO. Did you visit with Allen and this car when he drove out that way?

BTW, I will have to look up my 4th and 5th gear ratios. I have them buried somewhere.

Hi David. Very cool. Yes, I had the pleasure of driving Allen's car. What a rocket! Allen and wife, Mike (flew from TX), and Sky and wife (Elise from WA) came out to Reno in '05 for a little meet. We all went to the track, cruised Lake Tahoe, and the local mountain routes.

Does it still have the Vortex charger?

David,

Here's a little video from Allen's visit to the Reno area.

That looks really good, (Ilike the exhausts) but the splitter would be illegal in the UK not that there are any bib left to nick you lol. Have you thought of colour coding it so it stands out and can be seen? Might look even better.

[bluesatin]

Boosted,

I ran a splitter for a couple of years and no problem. May fail the SVA but doubt it would fail an MOT.

Scott,
Nice video. Whats up with the tach and speedo not working?

Thanks for the video. I had to do alot to this car to make it drivable and trackable. The vortech 383 was on its way out and only lasted two track days. I had a naturally aspirated 401 SBC built with solid rollers making it a better reving engine, redline at 7300. The previous engine would overheat within 5 minutes,and then wouldn't restart. Left me stranded. Now, no overheating, always starts, constant torque, very drivable. Here is a video from my last weekend at VIR with the Tarheel Sports Car Club in the instructor group. My Ultima won fastest time of day both Saturday and Sunday during the time trials. The audio is not good, so please mute.
