It belongs to the one of the guys at EMC (my local Porsche specialist), it's a 944 Ventiler that's been prepared to meet Porsche Club and Future Classics race regulations.

Everyone loves the colour, must admit when I first saw it when it was being built I wasn't a fan, now it's finished it looks amazing!

I was rocking the AIR splitter for a long time, until I came in contact with an armadillo at 90mph and it completely destroyed it. The CPR splitter provides more clearance and should hold up better to that type of impact. So far so good!Also, your car is looking sharp with the new front end!

Elliot, be careful with the mounting for your CPR splitter. I have had two come off at speed due to the downforce. I had some metal stays made that worked well but needed some drilling into the bodywork to fasten. As the splitter is flexible I would actually suggest using some flexible metallic cable rather than solid stays like I had. The reason is that if you go over some ripples or something that contacts the underside of the splitter it will allow upward movement unlike the more traditional solid ones.
Oh heck here's a pic of what I had. My splitters both ripped off when I didn't run with the stays.
Travis, I have seen one like the splitter you have assuming it's one that Lorenzo was working on? They seem very solid by comparison to the more flexible CPR version. I guess the downside could be that they may not 'give' any upward movement should you need it too? I am tempted to get one of these though.
Not that there's anything wrong with the CPR one and clearly it creates some considerable downforce as mine ripped off to show.

Patrick - is that a CPR splitter in the picture? It must be a different version of mine... Mine is the smaller street version that only sticks out just 2 inches or so. I have it mounted with nuts and bolts and big washers, plus several zip ties for backup. It has held up to 130+ speeds and several minor scrapes so far, but I am a bit worried about hitting another armadillo! Or anything that could strike the front end hard. I kicked it very hard with my shoe and it seems to be held on quite well.

Yes that was the larger CPR splitter but as you can hear on the clip where I was using the street version without any stays that it caused me some moments of concern trying to figure out what the hell the noise was at speed.

Great video Patrick! It was great watching you run those guys down. It's amazing to think the street version would rub under speed. Yes, I'm using the Toth splitter (street version). It's pretty stiff. TonyG has the track version and has done some mods to make it even stronger. Please let me know if you need the contact info.

Trav, perhaps my screws/bolts might have loosened through vibration and it made it easier to pull down?
I saw one of those Toth splitters recently and they looked very solid plus more of a splitter than an air damn. May as well PM me the info at your leisure. Thanks.
Johnny, no that's actually Oran Park. Do you mean the nose panel with the 4 vents? They need to be made rather than bought. The stock one with the vents from the 924 turbo won't fit a 944 turbo. Not sure about the 944 n/a though?? Where are you? What car?
Sorry about OT. Continue with the great Pics.
