new bits
lighter mirrors and a pair of cannars to get better front steering control
but someone know with angles or possition is better?????
Josh,
I think a front splitter / undercover that extends outward approximately 5" or more and goes back to the front subframe or even further, will do more for frontal downforce than those canards will ever accomplish. You really need FEA analysis to determine optimum angles for the canards. But I think you're are already aware of this.

yes you are rigth..... the front splitter will arrive next week it is made in UK and it will be as big as they can make it but I saw those cannars at good price (70 eur) in real carbon and just to fine adjust the balance front and back could be good I think.
or in the last it will be a nice details jejjejeje
I been reading the efect of those parts , cannards and splitters here http://www.ricemobile.net/downloads/RCE - Articles/
thanks for your reply
front splitter and cannards
look the detail of how to do the oil service jeje nice!
an advaice ... don´t let any stud attached to the chassis to hold the splitter at the middle like I did until my head..... toucht it!!
then I moved the stud to the splitter directly ( safe )
here is the stud, just between the radiators.

curious why you installed the aerocatches in that direction? the instructions plainly state that the narrow end goes towards the front of the car, but everyone seems to install them like you did.
that splitter is huge! hopefully it will help solve the understeering issues that our cars are renowned for! Josbeat, is it a custom made splitter?
yes! it is a custom made and almost 8 hours of labour!!spiller;1780180 said:
I want to make it more sofisticated with two vanes to route the air to the front brakes, because just at the middle it have an overture with the bomex bumper wich I want to take an avantage of it.
the first test on a plubic roads ....promise.
saturday, Jerez race track .....
Spiller
I haven`t been on the track today , one of my Precision Turbo injector died on the way to the circuit so with 5 cylinders....runs but not well jeje
but on the roads it felt well , it look like the front splitter work well with the rear wing adjusted at 0 or 1 posittion and with the cannards with the rear at the 1 or 2 possition.( the rear wing have three possitions.)
the steering is mutch more acurate and quite over the line, I am very happy with the results .
the difference is like a night and day.
recomended.

thats good to hear josbeat. Who did you use to make the splitter? And it looks like you have hinges on the front of it so it can flip down for oil changes?
bad luck with the injector issue, that always sucks when you miss out on track time!
