Let's talk splitters...(latest project inside)

[Erron Spalsbury]

Hahahaha, They should be able to handle 4-600 pounds. (especially during undulation)

[B-Man]

4-600lbs over the entire diffuser, not just one spot the size of my shoe.

[Erron Spalsbury]

Correct. As in supported in the same areas you would bolt it to the car, then stand in the middle of it.

[J. Fast]

Not at all. It's extended beyond the radiator, which creates the low pressure area that is needed behind the radiator and high pressure in front. (exactly what a splitter is designed to do) The width is moot for my car, (and any car that doesn't have fully enclosed fender wells) they are open fender wells as well as having a turbo on one side that needs air flow for heat management.

By stopping the spltter at the radiator your essentially letting the pressure escape under the car and inflating a balloon under the car the faster you go instead of redirecting that pressure out the hood. Don't tell me otherwise, I know better...

You're trying to justfy fitting a splitter from a dsm, which is about a foot narrower, on a car it wasn't designed for? Why?

I guarantee if you asked Bob or Dax they would ask you why your inflating a balloon under your car and why the spliiter doesn't extend beyond the tires in the front? Yes, you're directing pressure thru the radiator but all the other reasons for utilizing a splitter are being ignored because you're allowing high pressure under the tires because the splitter is to narrow and doesn't extend beyond the tires. Lastly, your allowing high pressure to escape back under the car which is exacly the opposite of what you are trying to achieve from an aerodynamic standpoint.

I hope you're not offended by my opinion, but don't try to justify it to me Err, I know better.

[Erron Spalsbury]

Because it works, that's why.
Is your car done yet? We need to out to HPR.

[J. Fast]

Racecar is good, but there's no time to work on it now though because I'm doin' lots of sidework. The way things are lookin I'll have it all paid for by the end of the summer. Don't worry bro, when I get tired of makin money and working I'll play . I'd love to roll my streetcar with you though, just to see what it can do with slicks. We can do that whenever you want to hit the track and I can break away .

Seriously though, you're so talented at making carbon and glass parts, why don't you revamp that thing?

[Erron Spalsbury]

I'm tired of working on it. Season starts the 26th of this month.

[jeremyr]

is she open to making more? I'm extremely interested
