Dar's Sprint Car

Good work mate. Lets hope these hubs hold out better than the last ones did.

it moves :thumb: but it does need a good clean now and the drivers seat needs moving back so i can drive it:D

I'll give it a dust over in return for a few passenger laps sometime ;)

Looks ace Dar, nice idea with the underside, should help a bit!

Indeed, the only nova imo to look good with a centra exit exhaust. That diffuser is sexy too

Shows how detached from the nova scene I've become recently, I thought the splitter was a new mod :( Excellent work with the splitter though! I think it may benefit from being even larger (protuding further forward), the way you've extended it back behind the front bumper towards the tyres to form a 'tyre shelf' is good and should provide a small amount of downforce from the air thrown from the tread. As briefly mentioned in the drag factor thread, I reckon sealing off the base of the engine bay would be a good idea, to keep the pressure under the car as low as possible.
I advised a splitter for the front of the car that my mate races in the VLN at the 'ring and they noticed definate improvements, so I look forward to the results of any testing you get done!

Heres the splitter on their car, again they are gonna try increasing the size to see if there are further gains to be had.

Yup, mine does cover the whole of the bottom of the engine bay

I also reckon that extending it out further could produce some more benifits. The trouble I had was finding a big enough piece of wood. I was thinking about making an extendable flap so that I could slide it out or in to increase or decrease the length of the lip.

My wooden version will be replaced with a much nicer and much lighter version if it gives me any gains what so ever. I even have a man lined up to make it for me :D

It's a bit crude at the moment but it's helped to sort out mounting brackets and sizes etc etc. So it's good enough for the time being.

look forward to finally seeing this in the flesh in a couple of weeks mate :thumb:

Be cool if it works.

What did you say it was made out of again? Marine Ply? lol

Yup, currently Marine Ply :D
No point in spending to much ?? on a concept esp if it dosen't work.

EDIT: It's not as daft a material to use as you might think.

I spose if its light and strong, its perfect.
