Which blade did you use on track at thunder hill? I'm still having a tough time seeing the difference in medium and low blade :/

I should probably get on a laptop..I post from my phone 99% of the time.

this info only serves to further my embarrassment due to my earlier criticism of your fine work.

I'm in for one and a set of canards as soon as I recover from my 14k I just spent on my transmission they look great and very functional

First time out with he splitter, I have to say: I absolutely felt the difference in high(er) speed corners. Lots of front grip that I didn't remember being there

On the topic of deflection -- I hit 135 on the main straight at Thill a few times and observed no issues. No GoPro at the time, but I'm going to hook some up and do a higher speed run. I had my Dad watch as I went down and he said it didn't look like the blade was deforming, either.

Next time out, +canards and video of splitter.

Here's a few pics!






Your car looks great on the track man!

I ordered the canards as well... i'm sure I will get made fun of for running them on the street, but anything i can do to create some more front traction, i'm in for it.

That is the high blade. I'm swapping new coilovers/springs before I try the low one. (Mine have 50k on them, so I figured better safe than sorry)

Update:

Moved out to west coast and tried out the Dive planes at thunderhill last week.

I ended up losing one of my splitters to an...ahem.. "off roading experience"... but it caused zero damage to the car or mount points/etc. Just as designed, the fiberglass gave up before the fasteners to body did. A+ again Joe.

Here's some pics of the new Dive planes. I only attached them with 3M tape. Held up at many 135mph runs no problem. I didn't go past that due to losing a few of the Dzus fasteners holding on the backup splitter.

Car no doubt has more front end grip in mid/high speed corners, but these aren't my home tracks so I can't really say I got "x MPH from the splitter / planes".

Pics below...

I think that aftermarket GT2 bumper is the same one I have, the stock OEM front lip does not fit properly. Will send you a message on your facebook page to discuss.
