I had posted this inquiry before in the garage but I suppose I really should have posted it here...
I've a Sheridan standard wide-body that I'm having some floating issues with (no doubt due to the sbc anchor out back) and so I've decided to build a splitter in the hopes of keeping things a bit more stable. As you can see I have a duck tail but it's useless for any kind of real downforce nor can I say I'm keen on building a wing as this car is also streeted, but I think a splitter may help. Let's see what ya'll are building/have built! Thanks David |

Wandering can happen for multiple reasons. I'd be surprised if a splitter is needed to fix your situation, since you don't have a large rear spoiler or a wing. A couple things I'd check before making a splitter:
- As stated by someone else in this thread, I'd add some rear toe-in. 914 rear trailing arms and their mounting points are very flexible. A little extra toe is needed to keep you from going to positive toe at the back. If you are going positive by chance, that could cause wandering. - Have you bump steered the front suspension? Most lowered 914s need to be bump steered. When I first set up my 914 racecar, I took it to the track for a shakedown before I had time to bump steer it. It wandered ALL OVER THE PLACE at speed. Set the bump steer, and voila, problem gone. Scott |
