Will be fetching my front clam back next weekend with my new monster canards.

Also finished my new diffuser and undertray.


tried my best to clean up the air around the rear wheels so ive come up with this solution, when the car is jacked up, only where the wishbone meets the upright would it touch, so I cut around for it, as you can see it now gives a better route for the air to hit the diffuser, after this picture was taken we added the vertical skirts so they will sit 40mm off the floor front to rear.

Excuse the rusty wishbones, they will come off for powdercoating and the toelink kit will be added.


Here you can see the size of the diffuser, if you look at the holes in it, the ones to each furthest end bolt to the end of the clam, so anything after that sticks out, it extends about 400mm out the back, with the stakes bent at 7 degrees. Should look pretty mad and help give me a larger lower pressure area, ill be also using tie bars at the end of it to attach to the body to keep it stiff.


Because of the giant wing and diffuser I was concerned a little bit that even with the 100mm splitter, big canards and ground effect skirts I might not be able to balance the front with enough downforce.

One issue the exige has is that the front of the car past the wheels is pretty small, theres not alot of overhang so your limited in how much downforce you can make in that area.

Luckily because I have no restrictions and picking up on what Jamwill said Im remaking my splitter while also saving weight by moving from ply to carbon(saves around 1kg)

Now this piece of carbon ive got it 100mm narrower but im going to make it extend out from the front of the clam by 200mm and also make it square rather than round to maximise surface area, it should be up by about 70%
The only thing im going to have a look at on monday is the wishbone angles on the front on monday with the car jacked up to see if it can run the splitter wider and further back instead of narrowing down where it bolts to the vehicle(hence ill use more of the carbon i have and have a longer narrower section) that should help the vehicle all around as less high pressure from the front wheelwell messing within my downforce, basically try and mirror what ive done with the rear of the vehicle.




Because the very long lengths of my diffuser/splitter i have ordered 2m of M6 threaded bar and a pack of 10 'Long Nuts' these will allow me to run my tie bars as long as I want so even though the parts are very long, they will be very stiff and wont move.

Painted my diffuser and undertray today, look alot better black and should be more stealthy




Also finished my design of the front splitter, did some measuring and realised I can run it another 10cm wider on the inside of the wheels so should hopefully help a little against the bottleneck you make the air pass though from the wide splitter.



You can see the comparison between my old ply on and the new one, I doesnt look it, but theres a massive increase in surface area on the carbon one, yet it is 0.6kg lighter.


Fitted my diffuser and splitter and flat undertray tonight.

Looks pretty extreme but then once the rear clam is on you wont see about 30cm of it

Ended up using some threaded bar and long nuts to extend my tiebars, seems to work a treat and allows me to alter the diffuser angle(ill be attaching tuffs to make sure the air stays attached) ill also add another 7 bolts between the clam and the diffuser to make sure its super stiff



I then fitted my carbon splitter, it does touch the anti roll bar when the car is jacked up so I might need to trim it a little, but apart from that it seems to do the job.


Just need to fetch my front clam so I can work out how wide I can run my tiebars without interfering with the clam(my old splitter was stiff in the middle and wobbly at the sides as the front tiebars were to close together)

All being well ill have my front and rear clams back on by mid next week, add wing, wheels and we are almost there!!
