Had a word with Mark today & he made it clear if I want to max my car out & achieve 215 then some fairly drastic mods will be needed.
Firstly my front bumper is standard & needs to change either being replaced or cut to allow air to reach the intercooler ive never taken much notice of whats available to achieve this so are their any pics of modded bumpers (good job not just a hacksaw) or even perhaps the name of a company that can mod mine or supply somthing more suitable. Need to ditch the lights & fit morrettes or similar so where can i get those. It looks as if the tow hook/bonnet catch & other bits will all have to go to make the room for my new custom intercooler/rad/prerad all of which will be specced to actually run over 800bhp (will start a thread on whos involved soon still talking at the mo).
Thanks lads need to get this underway very soon or the car wont run this year .

Is it worth having a word with x sport for some sort of carbon bumper ?

wirralphil

1 piece with lights and grill included.

Could be im sure they could mould one off a old saph bumper with the aero aids that you need ,

There was a pic recently of a saff with the bottom spar cut out of the bumper and also a cut out like the RS500 at the top which should let a lot more air through.

fordrs2005 on here just did a similar thing to ColCos1's 3 door bumper so he may be able to do it for you Rod but he isnt exactly local.

Rod-Tarry

Yes
Going to x sport in the morning.

MikeR

Rod what about the Norris Designs bumper on the black Saph? that looked really nice and surely would acheive what you need ?

Mike

Rod-Tarry

Yes love that bumper had this photo on my computer, but you cant buy it now & i assume its still on the car.

are morettes more aero dynamic than standards ?! i wouldnt have expected that

or is it to do with air flow, ie take center two lights out ?

RONNIE AMIS

the twins will do anything you wanted mate,

some pic's of my mates saph bumper they did

I think a guy Dean who dose our motors just did his windscreen Ron !


and those bumpers look ace

How much did they cost to get done?

rstdave

iTrader: (3)

That's in Spence's posession now and is nearly ready to go on the road lol. I think it's a 'combat' front bumper if i recall, though as you say probably not available any more....not a great demand for saph bodykits these days lol. The intercooler behind that bumper would never fit behind a standard bumper and work effectively though, that was proven when nick had the car.

RONNIE AMIS

iTrader: (17)

cool, he did get he's screen done last week so probably was him, am going to ask him to do mine too,

dont know how much he charged for doing dan's bumper, it all depends how much work is involved but he is very fair with he's prices

Miller 3

iTrader: (4)

Do love Dans saff Dose he come on here tho as i dont recall ever seeing him now that i think of it? ...


Cant wait till mine is done now

Rod-Tarry

The proposed intercooler will take up about half the space of the standard lights, if you use the outer morettes this helps with space for the cooler we also have to get in a far larger radiator & a big Turbo cooler as well.

wirralphil

As i said before Rod would a 1 piece front bumper with lights/grill/indicators in carbon be worth it? Could help with Aero Dynamics and cooling if made right.

Rod-Tarry

Like that, but would make the grille hole bigger as well.

Red16

I thought the Morettes would be less aerodynamic than the standard lights due to their bowled shape where the lenses sit... or am i missing something here?

Chip

iTrader: (3)

as per his earlier reply mate, the headlights stop the cooler taking up width if you have a deep cooler.

Red16

ah... just re-read it and seen that bit, cheers

jacko

if you need the moded bumper sorting idd do this no problem but i cant do you a carbon one

Rod-Tarry

That may be so but ive more than enough power to push the car along its having all that Power after bashing down Brunters for 30secs, controlling charge Air becomes the most important factor apart from stopping .

Rod-Tarry

Ive just explained what im trying to do to the Missus & she solved the problems straight away. 'Why dont you run with the bumper & bonnet removed that would give you lots of air. .

RONNIE AMIS

iTrader: (17)

he has just started coming on here,

the twins would do it if you wanted mate

Red16

lol @ the wife

Touring Car Spares

iTrader: (6)

I know the guy that makes these if that helps .

james kiely

iTrader: (5)

would more venting of the bonnet help in anyway rod to get all that hot air out?

Rod-Tarry

might do looking at all posibilities.

Rod-Tarry

Who are these twins i keep seeing mentioned a number would help.
