New Wing Option to come soon from APR - Page 5 - LotusTalk

stinkyonion · 03-19-2009, 06:49 AM

Now if only I can figure out how to get a sector 111 car cover modified for a wing...

Darth G-F · 04-03-2009, 10:01 AM

Got my APR splitter today!

Now, does anybody know where to drill the holes so it is safely secured to the car?

Can you provide more information? (price, additional pictures, installation method, more pictures, and a few other pictures)

I think I won't have a choice. Manly was great to let us know about the product, but for the installation I'm pretty much on my own...

My plan is to fix the splitter to the bottom of the crash box, using the holes that are already there. I hope the bottom of the crash box is strong enough, otherwise this is gonna be one expensive mistake...

I also plan on using the support rods that come with the splitter. I will mount the rods to the fog light bracket. Once I'm under the car, I'll see what else can be done to secure the splitter. It is an effective splitter, so downforce will be real, it better be safely attached to the car.

My plan: use the bottom of the crash box and the fog lamp brakets to support the splitter.

Or does the splitter directly bolt on to the OEM Elise clam?

I spoke with APR, and you can not add their splitter to the Elise clam directly. There needs to be a flat surface for the splitter to mount on.
I'll be attaching it to my Gut splitter which has a flat surface.

Manly, what did you finally set your ride height at? ... and what angle are you setting your wing at?

mlk_f1 · 05-13-2009, 03:56 PM

^^^ Eddie, my ride height is at 120 F and 125 R. Rear wing is not at 0 degree with gurney flap. It is the combination of the gurney and side skirts that is allowing me to run the wing with less angle = less drag but improved D/F.

No love for the elise? I'd love to see a combination of the Esta style front lip (similar to what a lot of S1 race cars run) and a splitter!
