LOL Simon... Can never be too big. :cheers:

That's a rudder lol

Or road kill slicer

After being around the Formula cars for years you get some crazy ground effect ideas

My rx ran rubber from rhe body kit right to a few mm of the ground and damn that would suck down on the road and grip at high speeds

Shame the man would crucify you for it here it looked mad , damn laws haha

No problem Simon...

I'm just waiting for my bracket kit to arrive and then this will be fitted to my car to finalise the fin lengths and make sure there square.

I have a car for trial fitment but will post pics once finished.

Bought some prepreg carbon sheet and made my own add ons a while back as the stock fins were a little ratty on the outer sides. Definately suits the rear diffuser!

Just have to trim the forward edges down for a little more ground clearance, that's about it.

this is quite ugly if you ask me lol

Bare in mind these are plugs, the moulds will be made way oversized. This way they can be made to any height depending if people want race only items or street use.

Can't please everyone..

where can you buy the sheet from? and how do you cut the sheet as good as you have?

Most performance shops should be able to get it in. Got mine from UAS, it's the real structural stuff.

Cut it with cutting wheel on an angle grinder and used a tension saw to cut the smaller angles, then a quick brush with a file.

Don't breathe in the dust!

    • Wife wanted basket things in the wardrobe in our temporary house. Thought about ripping our the wardrobe and fitting the entire IKEA set, but it's a temporary house and we want to move in a few years. So IKEA advertises this as a 50cm unit, however the actually basket and rails measure 46cm wide. Only issue was depth, IKEA stuff is quite deep, where as the builder special junk is super shallow at less than 40cm. Send it, chopped the rails, then offset the mounting holes, job done, happy wife, less shit scattered all over the bedroom. Did the same to the other side too. Also drove the Skyline shit box today, dropped off oil at Supercheap Auto. I didn't realise they only now take max 2x bottles per visit. I visited 2x Supercheap Autos.  
    • I've seen similar actually in my situation. You never know what tables are attempted to be used when the car thinks it's -99C or +200C. The fail state is not usually that extreme but you know what I mean - it was in my case though! This is where being able to read all the sensors is useful cause you see this stuff really quickly.
    • The above is very important. However as long as you keep timing relatively low, it's plausible to make your own knock ears and plausible to learn to tune with a modern ECU that can do wideband O2 correction like a boost controller. I mean if you only have one viable road to even drive the car on, learning to tinker to this level may be worth doing given you can't do much else with the car...?
    • I find the fact that the rear plate has to be bent inwards at the rear not so bad: but the front is just awful: It's like come on. (these are my very old, now retired/turned in plates) TBH it is a lot of money to fix a minor issue, the fact I said "I'll never really spend the money on doing this" is why people ended up buying them as a gift for a 'car guy' who can be hard to shop for.. for car guy things.
    • I just bent the ends of my premo plates. It even went through Regency like that after the engine conversion and the inspector (a great bloke!) just squinted his eyes and said "I didn't see that". Plates, and how they look, are just something that have zero importance to me.
