Did you see Kevin Groot on that Boss 302 show. He is on this board and is a 914 racer.

Per the rules of this board, you have to let us know if you are selling or want to buy a splitter for your 914.... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

It's 'cause 914s don't go fast enough to need one? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

So, what's the reason for a "splitter"? Down force? Aerodynamic advantages? Looks cool? I would think if it had a positive angle of attack (which looks to be the case with Trekkors car), it would cause lift? And that's not good right?

so a un-engineered piece of corregated cardboard and some strips of dollar store duct tape - seems to be the way to go.
