Finally got a little time to get to work on aero changes!
APR helped out on the new wing which is the GT-250, 71" span with 10" chord. Had to make new extensions to get the proper AOA settings I wanted but no big deal, they made the mounts to match my old wing so I didn't have to make new mounts
Finally have a wing I can stand on haha
So the wing was all of 30 min to install, the new splitter was more like two full days to engineer and fab
It turn out very nice for all of about 200 bucks in it. Material is HDPE, once I have tested it and need no more revisions I will send it off and have it made from carbon. I used nut inserts from the bottom as to not pull through and to keep the bottom as flat as possible, it is one piece and extends back to the oil pan. All adjustment rods, heims and brackets are 4130 steel. End plates I made from extra carbon fiber I had laying around, I'll make some nicer looking ones when I get more materials and begin to finalize. I can jump on it and it just bounces the suspension, so its pretty solid!
As of right now its about 40lbs which isn't horrible but its on the wrong end of the car, carbon will improve stiffness and reduce weight by about a 1/3 when done right. I will be most likely changing end plates and adding some center dividers, maybe dive planes/canards but I need to see what the balance feels like first. I will be making the mounts under the bumper cover out of 4130 and using quick pins for those as well so I can remove the assembly quickly to help with any repairs needed on the car.
1-1/4" light wall 4130 steel, slips over a mount and has a bolt through it to keep it from moving forward. center support mounts go to the two small tubes that protrude through the cover.
