TB993tt

Carrying on the chat about very high speed stability check out my new state of the art modification
I have no idea whether this will do anything whatsoever but the original Ruf Yellowbird has one just like it.
It is made of PU and self tapped on - I am not taking bets on how long it stays on
What do we reckon, functional or plain stupid ?

Be sure to take a pic when a bump rips it off later today.
I'm a bit cynical after going thru 8 pairs of brake air scoops per the www.p-car.com mod.

Nice!
Now you can cut your lawn with the TT!

Should be effective, anything to increase downforce in the front is helpful on these cars!! You should test with the AX22 the drag on deceleration with and without it!

Jussi

TB: you should test that idea. I just wrote my topic about that "too low front downforce feeling" and your little spoiler might really help.
Could you test that in your private high speed test road

Jussi

How do you feel when you go over 250 km/h, is that RUF front spoiler better than stock/without it?

The wide body cars came wih something similar fitted at the factory, but it's missing off most cars now, too many low curbs!
And what's the deal with the steamed up Techart lights, I'm always trying to seal mine, as they seem to steam up more than my bathroom! Finally cracked it by running silicon around the bulb holders.

That bit sticking down in your photo is on the "S" spoiler also -that is what I attached the lip onto so it protrudes another couple of centimeters lower. I am looking forward to testing it on some speed humps on the way to work tomorrow.
I can get the PU strips in different widths so could go even lower but somehow doubt their survivability
Just washed the car hence the condensation, hadn't noticed they were normally like that ?

I have only driven fast on the track and it lacks downforce dramatically in fast turns (My GT2 wing is always at max downforce and does not help) it has good stability in straights up to 260kph however. Our tracks are brand new FIA specs and the smoothest around, so it is not a good reference.

I am building a large front CF lip (ala GT2 EVO) to fit under the bumper and see how it works, otherwise it all goes out and back for the EVO bumper before the season starts.

These are said to be good for an extra 20mph on a 993

I thought you'd be the first to try them. They knocked 8 seconds off my lap record of my island. Lots of affiliation etc.

i just bought them

Please don't sue if you don't get the extra 20mph

If you want to swap a set for your UMW stage 2 kit just let me know!

TB,
The Ruf cars used very heavy wheels...why you may ask? So they would go straight at high speed.
So much for reducing unsprung weight.
No problem with the Gt2 front spoiler on the track. On the public roads which have a crown, over 140 mph it a little twitchy, but that could be due to the 3 degrees neg. camber. My CLS 55 benz in glued like a formula one car at 140.

sfbanchs

nice one and dont worry i wont sue you for 35 dollars
