Is that as far as it will be protruding? Are you restricted in how far it can come out like in some series?

 

I don't know. I was told it was plastic. I don't know what type of plastic it is. What ever it is... it's what Vision uses to make splitters.

I just write the checks these days....

It's been removed Colin....and, I am an ******* by the way!!

ps..Tony, I'm still interested in the length of the splitter?

 

That s the front fascia and fenders sold at Broadfoot.

 

Yes it is. I have something similar but am going for a much larger splitter than that. Initially I was going for something similar to that in Tony's pic as we were limited in a particular class of racing but in changing the type of event we're entering we no longer have those restrictions. That's why I was wondering if Tony had something similar to keep the splitter relatively short.

 

maybe he doesn't want a huge splitter at 175 mph...

but with the rear wing and big tires, he'll still be fast the rest of the way.

Hey...

What I was told... and I don't know how true this is... is that with a flat splitter, there's no real advantage in extending it out further as what ever air is going to go above and below the splitter is about the same with the splitter at it's current length or 3" farther out, and that the lower the car, the more accurate that statement.

This car is low. REAL low. So low that I'm having to have some custom, very long folding ramps built to get the car in and out of the trailer.

Remember... this car will be running a 330mm wide front slick. And it will be running the 997RSR front canards as well (maybe two... and maybe some custom widened versions as well).

For now..... I'm just dealing with the sticker shock which seems to never end. I'm actually trying to go broke. Seriously.

Today's update:

No more 996 GT3 suspension. It's now 997GT3 suspension with center locks.

That won't affect the wheel price as new wheels cost the same center lock or conventional 5 bolt.

But now... I get to buy new brakes :-)

Does anybody have a line on 997GT3 brakes? :-)

I feel your pain brother.

In the last 4 years:

2 - 1970 Trans Am rotisserie restoration

2 - 951's purchased and disassembled to support the race car

1 - Crazy, wrecked twice, 3 engine replaced V8 944

1 - Semi restoration 1978 930

1 - Turner built M3 race car - restored from Road Atlanta 100mph wall impact

General fleet maintenance for my support vehicles and street cars


Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

 

I didn't think there was much, if any difference between 996 and 997 Cup callipers? As for going broke...take a ticket and form an orderly queue!

 

The rear calipers and rotors are different.

The front has the same caliper but a larger rotor.
