Ricer wing mount purchased on the 'bay. Cheap, kinda heavy and strong.

Not the best solution, but it is safe and will do until I can make something better...

I got it mounted last Saturday. Ran the car Sunday at a PCA autocross. Car doesn't turn anymore which means its working. Now I'm going to start building a splitter.

That is the same problem Brit has with his rear wing.....it worked too good at speed.....high AX speed, that is.
As you can see in the pic, he then got to work on the front end.

I didn't even have to be going that fast to notice a difference, 40mph and it would understeer. It may be a little too much wing but I'm going to build the splitter before I make that determination. I can also ease off the front bar but then I would be compromising my low speed handling.

Are you going to make a splitter off your current lower valance? Would love to see some detailed pics of that. I'm currently stuck on selecting a lower valance and I like the one your running. Here's a thread that had some splitter info.

Good material for a splitter is a sheet of oak plywood from Home Depot. It is stiff, strong and light weight. A layer of light weight fiberglass cloth seals it and makes it waterproof.Attached Image Attached Image

I am allowed 6" in front of the bumper with XP so this is going to stick out a bit. I would like to make it easily removable so I can get it on and off the trailer.

Splitters are difficult to attach under the car. Which makes removing them a real pain. This one is 3". You may think about installing a basic 3" splitter and attaching a removable piece to it to provide the 6" total. Or use blocks for your trailer ramps. Be sure to leave space on the sides in case you want to add dive planes later. If you install a wing, you may need to add more front down force than just the splitter. This wing well unload the front tires in high speed turns. Attached Image

How much does that front bumper assembly weigh?

Was thinking about a u bracket of sorts to slide the splitter into, instead of bolting it.
That way you could easily remove the bumper assembly and splitter for loading on to a trailer.

The bumper is light. Not heavy with a lot of resin.
Call Peter at Renspeed and ask him to weigh one (626) 256-8878. He has nice light weight parts and prices are reasonable. But, the freight on big parts is a little pricy.

www.rennspeed.com

His website is kind of info on top of info. Click on the overlaying parts art the bottom and you will find 914 parts.

The website must be down the above link just forwards to a tumbler site, which is funny, but alas no 914 parts.

The splitter & mounting object should be STOUT. A cone at 50mph (+/- 10) can (and will ) do a surprising amount of damage....then ya runover what's left of your splitter/bumper. A 1/4 sheet of solid carbon fiber is a good place to start.
There are those who say that you should be able to stand on it...... won't go that far, but better to be way too strong than a little too weak.
Seen busted ones more than once.....also seen tweaked ones that made the grade....the first time.
