speed 12 style spoiler

[jackal1983]

Has anyone fitted a spoiler to a cerbera????
i love the look of the speed 12 type spoiler... may look daft on the cerbera tho.

The racing cerbs have them but they have their boot lids bolted down etc.
There have been two road going cerbs with stick on ford capri style spoilers. Both of which proving to be 'spoilers'.

In the early days there were a few. Craig's old nitrous one had one fitted at the Elvington run around 2000-2001. It folded at 175, a made a mess. I believe it worked well, but in those days it was all very new

Dunno about Spoiler - by which I presume that you mean the rear wing but the best Splitter that I've seen was this arrangement....


Still think the Cerb would look good and perform better if it had a discrete spoiler like the Lotus Esprit Turbo.

i'm thinking it would aid in handling and traction... seeming the cerbs very light something pushing the back end to the floor would aid everywhere.........

finding one that looks good on the cerbera is a diffrent kettle of fish!!!!

I wouldn't mind finding out what these are and have them. the back is not the problem, its the light front

i like that splitter where could we get some,any one fancy making a run.
names below please.

redeye will have a set.

Do they do anything, though? Would have thought to act as an aerofoil and give downforce, air would have to pass over as well as under them.

[Mr Cerbera]

Uh-Oh, bucket of worms opening here.

As far as I am aware (gets his secondary-school, geometry kit out) the dams above, resist front-end lift and aid the production of a depression under the car at speed. They work best with a rear, underbody venturi-type exit (which the cerb has) but would require a flatter, undisturbed-airflow, bottom.

The upper, rear end can be helped by spoilers which don't, promarily, supply a downforce but reduce the rear lift by breaking the upwards ventuti flow.

Finally a dity, great, big F-O rear wing which actually supplies downforce but removes all subtle, street-cred points.

I think Poledrivers Cerb has a boot spoiler?

[itsallyellow]

Did someone mention spoilers??

Worth around 2 seconds a lap to us. However it's not a small job. Bolting one to your boot isn't going to help. Ours is mounted to a subframe which is welded to the chassis etc.

The amount of force generated is huge at around 150 the car sits right down at the back even on our 900lb springs!

Which Speed 12? Didn't TVR change the look of them 3 rimes or so for each concept variant. Personally think the original probably looked the best. Got a pic somewhere of it as a motor show.

But maybe it was the same spoiler???

[FUBAR]

I don't think your spoiler could be classed as discreet though Mike

[Mr Cerbera]

Slightly more subtle than this....

[Mark_S_24]

I'm sure you could knock something up to make the back end look better, a bit like this handy bloke.

I've seen one somewhere that matches the exact lines of the speed12.... i'm pritty sure the speed 12 was the original prototype thats in the tvr back yard!!!

Out of all the Cerberas in the world, there are 2 with spoilers fitted. 1 is Mikes [b]Race[b] car, the other is Poledrivers.......Does that tell you something?
