Leave the chavvy splitter alone and sort the hubs out fool!
Im confiscating that ironing board otherwise lol
dar, if you do consistent lap times with it on or off, but pull more g in the corners, then isnt it just gonna be more stress/wear on the tyres?
Not really since if i'm pulling more G then I reckon I will not be understeering as much and therefore not scrubing the tyres, understeer kills them more because they are getting dragged accross the track. When I get more power that will help with the straight line speed but will do nothing for cornering ability. So if it corners better but dosen't get a faster lap I will benift more when I get more power. I think anyway, it's all guess work until I get it on a track and see what happens.
what kind of camber have you got on the front mate? i too have thought about a spitter/ tray under the car but more for in the event of stoping anything coming up inside the engine bay, didn't cross my mind about making it a splitter too. what kind of adjustments will you have on it? does ithave to be slightly tilted to get the air over the top to suck it down?
It dosen't have to be angled down to work. I do have height adjustment on it, but thats just for fine tuning i.e. leveling it out etc.
A basic piccy of what they do

yeah get what you mean now, just a thought with ur front end open so much would you not benifit from either lifting the rear of the bonnet or a vent to let air going into the bonnet out? and heat keeping the enigne cooler!
Hubs done.

This shows the size difference between the Nova bearing (in the middle) and the new bearings. Although not very well :(
Also shows the collar size difference. Again not very well.
Anyway all done. Here's some info for you. The bearings I got didn't have circlips with them so I had to buy some.
Bearings: FBK106 - Can't remember the dimensions though.
Cir-clips: INT0680 - INT DIN 472 Metric 68mm

Circlip Dimensions
B=68 t=2.50 D=72.5 Cb=51.6 b=6.1 L=7.8 h=3.0 Fr kN=121.5
Groove Dimensions
G=71.0 W=2.65 n=4.5 Fr kN=54.5 Code No.INT0680
Key
The front slpitter is also on and finished :D
Also on a side note. For those of you running distributerless C20XE engines.

This is the end of the exhaust cam. The middle part is the oil feed to the now absent distributer. If its left open like shown then you will not be running max oil pressure to the cam bearings since the oil will flow out of the end of the cam easier than it will through the small holes. If the cam is in the car you can plug the hole up by cutting a 10mm piece off of a 8.5mm drillbit and gently tapping it in. Don't go too far or you will block off the nearest oil way.
Having said that I have been running my car like this for years now and it's still going. I think the pressure is low until it fills the space behind the blanking plate. However with this mod done it will be giving the cam bearings more oil from the start.
Really nice work mate. top thread!
Thanks :)
