Splitter supports/pivot for angle of attack.

Whada you mean, is your missus home?? Ofcourse she isn't...

Very nice!

Thx mate, this is the mount it's gonna pivot around.

So the entire bumper/splitter assembly pivots as one? Very clever - I'd never have thought of that.

yep, thanks, its a by product actually, a very welcome one at that, but a by product non the less..

The main goal was to have the front nose/splitter/bumper (which is all one piece) to be quick release for getting onto the trailer after a session. i kinda figure that if it takes me 5 minutes to disconnect the nose/splitter combo, thats still quick release in my book. As the car is so low, it wont be going anywhere with the nose/splitter on, including the trailer. The splitter here works a little different too, its not just a flat piece of carbon, but actually an inverted aerofoil. which, ontop of the dynamic px onto of the splitter, should create a lift vector towards the ground on the underside of the splitter...

ofcourse this is all in theory, ...

Looking great Vanne! That is going to be a cracker of a car

You are correct on the inverted aerofoil theory in that the local aerodynamic expansion should yield downforce!

what do you have to with the suspension to achieve the track width change?

Thx.

Different wheels and the suspension arms come out 15mm further. both back and front.

What happened to the featherweight race dash?

Vanne · Post by **Vanne** » Tue Jul 14, 2020 9:40 am

It's stuck in Holland at my brother's house. I can't ship it to Dubai as freight costs have gone up triple. So unless I get a flight over there,I'll need to wait till Corna f***s off.. not that thats gonna happen soon.

So yeah untill I can get the dash here, I'll be using this one..

Ah, bummer.

After slogging it out in 45 plus degrees, finally got the nose/splitter on.

Neat job!

Awesome! Look how far the wheel is in the arch too! Really shows off just how wide the kit is!
