I would like/need to get a front lower lip and a rear wing and would like some ideas. Thanks.

Andy,

The only choice for front lip is AIR... GT racing is fugly. Given its also a road car asthetics still count right! Rear wing, well depends oh radical you want to go, I like the Bridge fixed spoiler off the 968, then you could go more radical with an adjustable 968 wing which is bigger and probably more functional but its a bit OTT. Then you go to your full blown race wings most of which are so fugly they make me wanna be sick, ceck out Lindsey Racing for a pic of that one...

From my research you have (primarily) two choices: the GT-Racing splitter, and the AIR splitter.





Angled view of the AIR (American International Racing) splitter.



Best looking angle (IMO) of the GT splitter.



Above: AIR, Below: GT (shows the difference in contour and shape)




In most cases people favor the AIR splitter. I believe the GT racing splitter is more effective at creating pressure on the nose, and it is also much higher than the AIR splitter which makes it easier for driving around town.

(rennlist members, forgive me for using your pics~! )

Here it is...

Damn its fugly

Whats up with that random mech hole in the second car? That looks terrible, and cant possibly be doing much for cooling.

Be nice! I know the owner of the car browses here all the time, but I cant put a name on him.... too many people.

Isn't that Strukfest951's car???

IIRC: The 'bridge' rear spoiler came standard since 89+ on Turbo's and S2's

Eyal 951

You don't recall correctly at least not in the US. only in 91 did S2's get the bridge spoiler. Obviously no turbos did here.

I was being nice! You should have seen what I wanted to write!

Eyal is right at least from a ROW view, I think the 968 had the third brake light in the spoiler as well.

It's too deliberate to just be some random hole, maybe it's to provide fresh air to a MAF somehow?

hosrom_951

I know Euro spec cars from 89+ came with the 'bridge' spoiler and as a matter of fact, its a '959 Style' spoiler as well.

It was equipped on the 944 Turbo and 944 S2 models before the 968. I know this because i was looking to purchase a 951 directly from Germany and all the 89 951's i saw there came with that spoiler, not an option........

Maybe, its a good place for a positive pressure source, but why have a 90 degree bend to the MAF. Assuming its beind the headlight where most all go... I am thinking once I get my K&N from Special Tool that I will do some pressure testing around the points in that cavity and try design a positive pressure environment for the intake. I wonder if there is a thread in that.

How about cutting holes similar to the ones in the car above, but in the side of the fender and ducting it to the filter? Or cutting that round hole out completely so you can move the filter farther from the hot engine and closer to the fender?
