The Taisan Replica Track Car

Looks a lot more purposeful now John, where did you get that shroud for the intake?

The splitter looks good but hating the supports. The splitter looks pretty thick, is it carbon over a honeycomb core ?

The air box job is from Matty 32, Newera. I have put an intake from the front bumper directing air at the filters. It makes a massive difference to the air temps.

I never had the stay bars on at first, then after a drive I noticed the factory splitter had dropped. Closer inspection showed that the extra down force had pulled the rivets through the bumper and the splitter was just hanging on. The stay bars have been tied into the bumper iron as it it obvious that the splitter is working. As with the rear wing they do a job, not there for looks mate.

The front edge of the carbon is curved slightly to give it extra strength and push the front of the car down, it may look thick but it is about 3mm.

shane, we have noel working on the doors, didn't want just the skins but the full carbon door with Lexan windows. The dash and boot floor will be done next and a carbon bonnet. His work is very good, a lot better than some of the stuff crawling out of China.
