No I got it. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

i thought it was hilarious and was thankful I hadn't taken a bite of food or a drink of anything carbonated.

i liked the functional roof scoop, too.

"LPH"- classic.

I did just spray coffee onto my screen. That cardboard splitter is hilarious!! Low Performance Haus!!

I especially enjoyed the graph, with downforce measured in "units"

Good job, everyone!!

On a serious note. Couldn't you guys throw some fiberglass cloth down on your cardboard cutouts and slop some resin on them. Then get L brackets and affix this permanently?

I think there is a potential market for cheap cardboard core performance parts for the 914. Maybe you could find a viable source of employment for yourselves? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

I hoped someone would notice that (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)

Grant: You are right. There definitely is a potential market for cheap performance parts for the 914. You ever see anyone around here asking for higher prices on perfromance parts? Tricky part is that once you put fiberglass and resin on the cardboar it increases the price by 50 times. Now if you glued together multiple sheets of cardboard in alternating directions (like plywood) you might have something.

Hmm... boxes and 3M super 77 adhesive spray. Probably moves you up from UPS/Kinkos to Staples/Office Depot, but still a bargain!

In my work, I deal with alot of graphs and statistics, so whenever I see a new graph, I look at the scales before I look at the plot(s).

I can't believe this is turning into an almost serious consideration. Instead of laying cardboard like plywood, why not just use plywood (since we're still shopping at home depot and this idea brings us back to absurd). Yeah, it might be heavy, but it will resist "retracting" above 30 mph (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

So we aren't the only ones to do cardboard ground effects....

Cardboard parts on a cavalier

I like how he considers his final result "kick-ass."

Thanks for bringing this back from the dead Gezzer!

Now, on a more serious note...

My first-born Bryan built a bridge out of cardboard for one of his engineering classes.

He had to span 3' at 3' high and the bridge was to be "tested to failure."

The assignment was "a bridge out of non-standard building materials."

You could have 2, he picked cardboard and construction adhesive.

He used 3ply cardboard and laminated 5 sheets together with the construction adhesive.

It was "surfboard" stiff, and the instructor STOPPED the destructive testing at 900lbs of rocks and two big students jumping on the rocks. Nearly 1500lbs of force with impacts!

They'd run out of rocks and room for students on it. The instructor was worried someone might get hurt if it failed.

Bryan's bridge was the ONLY one in history (12 years) that didn't break!

We had to use a chain saw to cut it up and put it in a dumpster.

So, if you really want to make a splitter out of cardboard, I know exactly how to do it...

With that kind of engineering talent and those materials, I'm surprised no one thought to add boxed rockers
