Hey Paddock People,
My car sustained some pretty good front end damaged and the 916 front bumper is destroyed. Thinking this is a good time to change things up. Good news is that already bought the bumper half with the oil cooler cut out. Now I need the bottom half to finish it off. The thought is should I run a splitter type valance? What is the speed where these cars want downforce? My car's top speed at Sebring is 115mph. I see a lot of HSR 914-6's that don't have a splitter and I know there are faster then I am. Another thought is that I'm not the only driver of the car and when we have an off track experience, will the splitter still be there?? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) |

So Chris - You are running without cooling ducts to your rotors? Wow. Mine would die an early death if I did that (if I understand you correctly).
...and good save George. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) T |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) T Yes I have been - but not with that deep spoiler at most tracks. It has pretty beefy brakes for a 914, vented rotors F+R and pagid pads and a partial Smart Racing cooling setup, just not plumbed to the front spoiler yet. That should be a huge improvement but I still won't use this spoiler everywhere due to ground clearance. |
