good thread. awaiting updates!

 

Badass, Im liking this.

 

I have been looking for a front and rear diffuser for some time now...

 

I like the voltex front bumper undertray (small), and the apr rear diffuser combo...any opinions?

 

The new APR diffuser is cool!

BUT....Ive been trying to find the old APR diffuser they used for the widebody kit...



They dont make these anymore...

So I am trying to fabricate something similiar... for the CWEST bumper

 

here are voltex canards for cwest w/ custom garage hrs carbon kevlar/ carbon fiber undertray/splitter















rear spoiler is a must w/ the front end/ undertrays and diffusers




and here is what i am working on now...still lots of work needs done but an idea

 

Hopefully my carbon fiber front splitter will be on for HIN Dulles... Im going to be running two sets of canards vice triple canards like the Cyber Evo

1 set of wing canards on the cabon fiber splitter and one set of oversized canards on the actual bumper

 

This is the car that Im actually building... its the 2004? original runduce evo

I was trying to keep it a secret until my photoshoot... but Im letting the cat out the bag

Im going to be running the one oversize canard on the bumper... vice two

here's the only pic i can show until completion

 

cool deal hope you don't like driving your car around my car lowered w/ my setup is less then 2 inches off the ground in the front (aka when you push your toes under it w/ normal shoes on it rubs)...additionally having a big spoiler is a must as the car is way weird w/ just the front and even a stock rear. one last note is i dropped 3 mph trap speeds changing out my bumper and taking off my rear spoiler so it helps to have lots of power to push that kinda downforce cause no matter what people say it will slow ya down some. Not that i planned on drag racing w. it but i wanted to see.

 

So it will look something like this... without the girl

 

Good thread.

 

I barely drive this car... only to shows and a few meets...

and in the process of getting an enclosed trailer.


Im definitelty getting a wing, Im looking at the SARD GT wing or the VOLTEX.

I have more than enough power to push this baby...

can i get in this game too??

 

Of course Brendan

I KNOW your car is going to be hot... cant wait to see those build pics

 

First off, you keep talking about sheet metal. Have you thought about using fiberglass or carbon fiber. Alternatively, you could run a base layer of thin aluminum sheet and bond a couple layers of fiberglass on top of it. That is how our first splitter/undertray was built (except with carbon and a foam core also). Problem is weight. Actually, weight:strength . . . any time you start adding metal to increase your stiffness, your weight is going to go up dramatically. How about a layer of nomex honeycomb sandwiched between a 2 layers of glass or carbon? Maximum thichness of any of these options will be about 1/2"-3/4". While you're down there you may as well make it protrude a couple inches to make a splitter/lip. If you only extend it about 2-3" you will still make downforce but it won't hurt your ground clearance too much.

Are you planning on adding venturis (ducts)? I have the small Voltex undertray for my Voltex front bumper. It is a very nice unit. Their engineering behind their pieces is absolutely amazing. It gave me tons of ideas for mounting of my custom splitter/undertray that I'm having made. I will probably use alot of the mounting points/methods that Voltex does.

So what are your thought on having an undertray/splitter that mounts primarily to the frame so the bumper can be removed quickly and easily vs. one that mounts primarily to the front bumper with a couple hard mounts to the frame. That way with about 4 extra bolts to take off the front bumper and splitter can be removed as a single unit. To put it back on you just bolt up the stock bumper screws and fasteners and the 4 splitter bolts (to the frame) and you're done. . . Which do you think is more functional for racing purposes??

p.s. I found a way to add side spoilers (wheel well air extractors) to the Voltex front bumper like the ones you've posted pictures of. Rather than being built into the bumper cover it willl be a very simple addition that should be completely functional. . .
