Awsome Ron, deffo need those nice fat tyres on there now and the wider arches on the back to match

 

Christ alive!! Its looking wild!

 

Started on a rear diffuser made it up in about an hour




Will be fitted on saturday

 

this is going to look great

 

Busy night Dave
Hope Ron served you well

 

thats cool Dave it will work what ever and looks close but put a angle finder on it and get as close to 13 degrees as poss you can get a cheap anle finder from cromwells if you have one local top work mate

 

That's pretty cool and effective. Even better with a full under tray

@ Twins

When are you starting on the wider rear arches?

 

after the diffuser ,prob wont be in time for national day and time attack

 

cheers jay ,will get ron on the case to get one

 

Im starving myself already for tommorrow

 

Definitely needs an undertray to make that work properly IMO.

As lovely as it is, cos of all the lumps and bumps on the bottom, the air will be in a shit state by the time it gets there. Get a flat floor on it

 

Nice work Dave you fit my new roof fella

 

Paul i will have a chat with my mate dave ,he fitted warrens roof that phil made him

 

 

Looks like a modified book case will look better black

 

bumper looks acceptable. i quite like the rear defuser, but im sorry the arches look shite!!! sorry dude

 

Love it!!

 

I like it Ronnie
Nice work Dave

 

Now you just need a complete under tray to match and build a new exhaust system to blow exhaust gases out over the diffuser.

Jay what bit has got to be 13 degrees & why as im putting a rather large one under the back of my escort .

 

I was just about to ask the same question ! I've just sorted a flat floor for mine and possibly a diffuser if the rear axle and arb isn't in the way !

 

That looks mental!

 

the 13 degrees needs to be the the flat part of the defuser the goes from the rear floor to the cut out on the bumper ! so if you have a flat sheet fixed to the rear subframe then the sheet needs to incline to the rear of the car at 13 degrees up to 2mtr in length the downward fins (venturies) are just used to stir the air to aid more force . At 13 dergrees seems to be average number then it will generate optinum down force so take the floor as level then potract a 13 degrees incline at the rear .Flat floor is another good idea BUT if you have a good aero splitter that goes as far as the front floor and the rear deffuser then it will be a massive difference even without the floor

hth guy's

 

Thanks Jay

 

Yep Thanks Jay

 

Yep, that's definately my car. Glynn has done a massive amount of work to get the car this low, arches included, but I actually made the current arch extentions myself. It currently running on 9x17's all round, with 245x40x17 Toyo 888's.

Having just seen Ronnie's splitter, I'm now off to the garage to start copying it lol

 

Nice one Jeff, like your car a lot !

What arches did the last shell have, I think I was up at glynns when he was doing that shell, didn't that have normal arch trims but just fitted a lot higher ?

 

Fancy making anymore?
Rich

 

Yep, we just extended a standard arch to make the first version. The one in the picture is actually version 3 which I made myself, and version 4 is currently in progress as we speak - its basically the same as what's on the car now, just with much more internal clearance so we should be able to run 18's if necessary.

Rich, I'll get the new ones finished before I make any moulds, but its extremely time consuming so I dont know whether its feasible to start making these up for other cars.

I'll start a separate thread on my car as this is Ronnie's post, and I dont want to detract from it - Ronnie's done some really nice work on his car best we keep it about his motor and not mine ! Sorry Ronnie

 

Few more pics ,diffuser fitted on ,just need to fix to the 13 degree angle,
cut 1 inch off the front arches which then gave us some nice pre painted rear arch extentions

bit of finish work to do on the join still

 

A guy from Greese has this 3 door. arches extended.

 

Great work guy's

 

Ron, was it the twins that made the base plate for the mirrors? I need a set and happy to pay whoever for them. Can you have a word and see if they will make them.

Got the mirrors already.

 

Nice job

 

Its looking great, that greek white one looks pretty neat too.

 

That looks awesome Ron....Did the springs turn up mate?

Dave & Stu are very talents

 

Some nice work there guys.

Canards and rear diffusers are a mine field of technical info, hope they work as intended. We use photographs and video footage as well as Alans arse to see whats going on, as a result of this we changed from a twin bladed rear wing to single deeper one. We still get the downforce we want but with less drag. We ditched our canards (on the old car) because when coupled to the heavy v6 engine we had they actually caused us to have more understeer.

Cars looking racey. Well done to the team.

 

that greek one looks lovely with those arch extensions

 

front arches look loads better now they are not as wide, and the wheels are filling them nicely!

rear looks quite cool too

is that diffuser made of mdf or some other space age material??

looking good guys

ps are the wheels just on spacers now?

i have some eibach 20mm hubcentric spacers for sale if interested, as im sure you already have long studs fited.

 

Not mdf mate that would blow when wet ,foam cored material
