So how would you mount these canards I have?
So I have these canards,
http://www.more-japan.com/product.ph...7&cat=0&page=1 I was wondering how some of you would go about trying to mount these. I have somewhat of an idea but I'd like to see if there are better ways. I was thinking getting some L shaped brackets and riveting into the canard on one side and then screwing it into the bumper on the other. Oh, and the outer lip is supposed to be on the outside so its not for mounting. http://media6.dropshots.com/photos/2...723/205332.jpg the red part I circled is the part that does not touch the car. |
:facepalm:
haha sorry i had too ,,, maybe make a carbon "L" piece ? |
Not halping!

Yes, they are usually screwed, bolted, or riveted to L-brackets on production-type race cars, but street ricers usually use double-sided tape or some other type of adhesive. Screw & bolt mounting shown here:
http://www.turboneonstore.com/custom...?productid=359 Try to mount them at exactly the same angle on each side of the car. |
hope you didnt pay 175 for that
BTW, it is impossible to increase downforce and reduce drag at the same time... you can reduce lift and reduce drag at the same time but these wont do that, Hope ou only got them frlooks, and for a deep deep discount. They just sold you some scrap CF for a whole bunch of loot |
i hope you didnt pay $175 for those

I'd rather do a front splitter than buy little wings! :)

Im doing both. This isn't my street car. :P |
ill snap pics for you of the ones i made from an old fg bumper and L brackets i cut out of a square aluminum tube. $Free.99 :lol: adds a lil character to the everyday gp front. Mine are pretty small though.

ok cool thanks. Yeah these ones are pretty huge, like over a foot long. |

If you just want something simple and easy to replace, the 1988 10AE Bonneville salt flats RX-7 just had a clear piece of lexan fastened to the bottom of the front end at a 90deg angle to the relative wind (i.e. straight down). The car still looked pretty stock because the clear air dam was not very noticeable, it didn't really matter much if it got scuffed here and there, and it allowed the car to reach a speed of 191mph. |
Something like this but clear, Evil?

That's exactly what I was thinking as I read the description... Nifty little advertising bit they have there. Sell these silly things to some other ricer (if you haven't already attached them) and spend the money on something worthwhile.
Ugh you guys I just showed that link so you guys could see what I was talking about. We all know it doesn't reduce drag.. And no, I'm not selling them. Im making a track car, you know, on a track, not some autocross crap. |
Track and autocross are two different animals. Apples and oranges

Wow, 191mph with no canards! Who would have thought it possible? ;) |

Might be more useful on an auto-x car... canards give some downforce but at a huge drag penalty which is why they are usually the first thing removed from actual race cars at lower downforce tracks. You'll be way better off making a splitter and putting the things right in front of the wheels to try to keep air from entering the wheel well.
I said up in the thread more that I am running a splitter also. Enough of the debate. They are going on. Anyone have any actual ideas? |
