GREAT SUCCESS!
Today, members of Team NARP achieved remarkable results after some officesupply engineering. To make a splitter, go to your local UPS store, or Kinkos (Home Depot might be overkill but some prefer their selection). You will need: Yellow Duct Tape Black Duct Tape Random cardboard box Up to 6 plastic knives for supports A real knife for cutting the cardboard Permanent marker for adding graphics. The design speaks for itself, so here goes... Attached thumbnail(s) |

Now for some high speed testing. John reports that he definitely felt a good 50-55 lbs of additional downforce. AWESOME!

Very high smile factor. It HAS TO BE WORKING.. Of course it did retract into the bumper for stowage, an unanticipated feature.

ours came in at around 2 lbs....
we needed 22 lbs total, so we added scuba weights and 2x4's for strength and mass. the plastic knives/utensils acted as a great turn buckle... great for adjusting attack angle. |

The next project is a set of cardboard mailing tube headers. One of the advantages is that as you drive, they get less restrictive, AND get lighter over time.

Insert witty comment here... Group: Members Posts: 1,659 Joined: 28-July 05 From: Home of the Coyotes, AZ Member No.: 4,493 Region Association: None |
So anyone figure out how much downforce it creates at say 100mph??
My computations say we will need about a foot of travel on the stock torsion bars....??? Look for the original on e-bay shortly, and mass production as soon as we can pawn shipping off on Z. BJH |
