Here's one of the Custom CF splitter - goes half way back under the car to keep the air flow smooth. I've been toying with the idea - i recon downforce is very high on the bang for buck continuum ...
but need to find a better way to secure it as I really don't like the slightly bent threaded tension bolts (whatever works approach his mech has) and with my record with brake ducts, I'm not ready to run something that expensive on the front - at least the ducts are almost throw aways - although this car isn't nannied and even after a few smaller knocks and offs the splitter has 'split' but never broken apart completely.

Dive planes made by the same guy - not cheap and nasty but not super expensive. He's planning on running another set in tandem to these.

here's a pic from today .. rolling to a (far) away race this weekend.
Inventory check: (from left to right): 1 6-3 with 80k kms, 1 6-3RS (very quick ), 1 3.8L 7-3, 1 3.9L stripper 6-3RS, 1 MkI 6-3 with 90k kms (60+ on track), 1 rebuilt 6-3 Cup
The other wheels - 2 xtra sets per car - weigh what one of the cars weigh.



oh, I should mention the MkI is the second fastest car here, about 1.5 sec off the 3.9L stripper, then the cup .. with the heavy 3.8L usually last

Those pics were taken turn 10 at Mosport in the morning. The car caught the light at a great angle and the photographer was really good at getting the shot.

Seb, had the car out today at Mosport for 3 hours...See you next weekend

Still in love with the car. Now that its sorted, I am working on getting my nerves back after the spin. Every session I go out I am knocking off a second or 2. I started at 1:50 now I am down to 1:42, I briefly brushed 1:39, but aiming to get back to 1:34...maybe next week. My instructor says it will come back slowly.

Now post some pics of your car in motion!

This reminds me of a 1988 Carrera Clubsport (white w/ white wheels) I saw sometime ago. Very nice!

Sorry it isn't "in motion."
