looking to create a splitter for the nose! IDEAS?

[panozdoc]

I am new to these cars, and am not familiar with the down force that is needed to improve cornering. if you have any input or would like to be on a list for more information please respond on the forum or by email. [email protected]

Search this forum for "raised rear wing" and front splitter. You'll find several good ideas. Some of the members even sell the parts to make these modifications.
Balance is important in applying more down force. If you do something to the front of the car,(e.g., a splitter) you'll need to balance the application of force to the rear.

Thanks for the input. I have a great fiberglass guy that is ready for the project and already has one of my bumpers to play with. As far as the rear wing i am open for any ideas as well, never thought about that.

i have a set of the rear "upright extensions" for sale. I also make sell the ABS splitter panels if you're interested

Search the forum for aero comparisons there is a good thread and some CFD data i posted...

Brian and I installed the raised rear wing, combined with front splitter and wider front tires all at once. Big improvement and I highly recommend it.

You need to remake the nose to have support built in for a splitter.

Remake the nose? all I did w attach it to the AIR DAM With pieces of l bracket aluminum and screwed it rest to the fram rails... It's VERY rigid.... I also added splitter supports.

I know that it can work but we could use larger brake opening a larger radiator opening and if you built the bottom of the nose rightyou could loose the need for the chin piece. Or you could design a combined chin and splitter that could be fastened to the nose better.

so far i have gathered that the need is for a removable slitter so that down force is added to the nose, but loading and unloading will not be easier than even the original design.
