jazz1 Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Does anyone know any place that would do a APR or similar Wind Splitter with the rods, which would fit an do luck supra front: link: http://www.aprperformance.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Something like that on a do-luck front wouldn't last 5 minutes! (plus its a stupid mod) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 i like it, i reckon with a c/f bonnet it will look wicked Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supradibbs Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 yeah but you will destroy it in 5 mins the do luck is so low as it is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Homer Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 It's not so much the lowness of it thats the problem, its how far it sticks out. The lower lip of the do-luck sticks out much further than most bumpers so on camber changes it catches VERY easily, if you are going to extend that further with one of the carbon lips there's no way it'll last.

jazz1 Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 im going to take the risk, although im also going to upgrade to the suspension to tein and bigger wheels so i can lift the car a bit:), i dont intend to stick it out i just like the rod things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BURT Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 you cant do that!! sacrilege:tongue: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edd_t Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 i had a CF wind splitter on the MGF. it made a serious difference in handling (but the an MGF isnt designed to go over 40mph in the first place cos only flat cap wearing old men buy them) but i did smack it on a curb when parking the weekend after fitting it! D'oh! so if you do fit it, remember its there!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 lol, i need to know where to buy the damn thing:search:, hey burt my parts are on the way budy:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnK Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I would suggest you ask on the nova forum, they seem to always have them on so must know where to buy / nick them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 You'd be better off fasioning something from a sheet of Ali...that can take a hit. It's a good idea, if you have no speed bumps or any undulations to worry about....ie on a track. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Says they do custom applications on their site, contact them and see if they can make you one to fit the do Luck front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TLicense Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 I've just been looking at that website. What a crock of shite. APR Front Bumper Canards are the perfect answer to aerodynamically tune the handling for the front of a car. Made of lightweight and durable carbon graphite composites, APR Front Bumper Canards help increase front downforce at high speeds. The added downforce stabilizes the cars chassis during hard cornering and increases traction for faster lap times. Err no they don't. They generate a vortex that usually flows under the back of the car, so it increases rear downforce, at best the vortex will flow under the car somewhere just behind the front wheels, worst they'll do is just flow along the side of the car creating no lift. They'll also add a chunk of drag wherever they end up flowing. Size matters. So when it comes to reducing aerodynamic drag to a car, the APR Formula GT3 Mirrors are an excellent choice. The APR Formula GT3 Carbon Fiber Mirrors are designed to give race inspired looks with the functionality of reducing drag and eliminating blind spots with wide angle mirror lenses. Wing mirrors make feck all difference to drag. Even on an F1 car, it's pretty difficult, even in our £40,000,000 state of the art wind tunnel to measure any change in load that wing mirrors create. Also as far as creating downforce on road car, I've said it many times before. You REALLY don't want to be doing it by anything that uses ground effects. The reason is, the downforce created by ground effect devices is ride height dependant. So as the car get's closer to the ground, the greater the effect (untill it get's so close that it stalls, but on a road car, that's very unlikely to happen) So conversely as you increase ride height you lose downforce. So what happens if you're going around a corner a bit quicker than you would be without your extra downforce, and then hit a bump and lose all your extra grip instantly. You'll crash that's what'll happen. Race courses, on the whole are very much smoother than the roads you'll find in this country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazz1 Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 , i want the splitter because it looks good with the rods:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TLicense Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 Well if you're to be unlucky enough to understeer off the road I'll be sure to point out how cool you looked before hand. Sincerely hope you stay safe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyotatom Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 RGM do those rods and can be found in most Halfrauds outlets. Fitting bigger wheels and adjusting coilovers dont meen your car will sit a lot higher either mate. Im running around on 19s, good clearance between tyre and arch and I still cant fit a mobile phone between the bottom of my bumper and the road! Speed bumps no chance!

jazz1 Posted March 13, 2006 Author Share Posted March 13, 2006 thank you very much mate im so after the rods:) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toyotatom Posted March 13, 2006 Share Posted March 13, 2006 If you cant find them there then try Demon Twats. Make sure you have the VAT inclusive button switched on if ou use the website otherwise you wont half get a shock when you come to the checkout fella!
