Your Canards are too high. They should be about 8 inches lower.

Have a look at Reverie's website for pictures, wind tunnel tech data, and movies of the airflow tests Reverie did on these pieces. They're mounted at the same height on the clam as Reverie's test car. Without the canards the airflow is disrupted as soon as it spills to the outside of the headlight pod. With canards, the airflow stays attached to the side of the clam and flows nicely up over the wheel arch.

Maybe not much curb appeal, but they seem to be part of a very effective package.

Hurry up and get the side skirts

Blah double post lag

The thing about pro10is4life, and I've met the dude...what's your name again...Rick, Nick, Dick....something like that...

Anyway, the thing about him is that he would never use these aero aids. I mean, he never goes to the track. He'd never risk cone damage to his precious at an autocross. The only reason he even has the car is to pick up 17 year old girls.

It's pathetic, really.

BTW, I don't see the side skirts at Sector 111's website. Where can I see them?

If I could get them for half price I'd be all over 'em! I just don't have the money for it right now, and if I get money I think I would rather put that $1k towards a supercharger fund

Hahaha, Ron. Aren't you just a funny guy? If you take the opposite of what you said it would fit me to a "T." I kill for the chance to be on track or dodging cones, and have yet to pick up any babes!

Just found out BTW that I've been running my tire pressure about 10psi too low, and was still kickin' arse in the turns

Who says?

What were your pressures?

Did you put them higher and check them out?

So far, it seems to me that lower pressures than some would suggest just stick better.

Those are smok'n. Buy 'em and we'll put them on your car together. I need a practice run before I do my car.

How does the Bride seat compare to oem Elise seat?
How much harder is ingress and egress? (Be honest)
Will the oem 3-point seat belt work with the Bride seat?

Car is awesome...black-out those wheels and you will scare young children.

I thought that something looked amiss with those Canards.

Very nice...just curious...how did you install your 5 element?
Did you use a rear panel eliminator?

I personally think the Bride seat is much more comfortable than the oem Elise seat. As far as getting in and out, it makes it a tid bit more difficult, but I don't consider it a nuisance. I can tell you it WONT fit if your waist is any bigger than 30 (maybe, just maybe you could get away with up to 32). The oem seatbelt will attach, though, I would highly recommend against it as it just doesn't seem right.

I did just use the panel eliminator and it survived a track day without any problems. I do hope to re-enforce it somehow.

I can personally attest to that. It's a child's seat.

Describe the handling of the car at speed before and after all the aero mods.
(60+mph)

Has your top speed decreased?

Are you using a power adder?

Proper canard placement...

Here's Nick with his aero aids in use.

Wheels and tires courtesy of Dr. Ronald Slaughtr himself! Thanks again for letting me use them; I had a ball.

BTW, your car looks great. The CF kind of "blends in" with the green, yet it looks aggressive. I like it

P.S. I may have some plans for autocross next year

. But I don't think it will pass dad approval

Thanks and your welcome. You should check out my car now with the new engine mounts.

BTW, don't forget, I need the tires back.

Unless you bought the diffuser for looks, you rendered it basically useless with a through diffuser exhaust.

Reverie tested it in a wind tunnel and they insisted that if you're serious about downforce, you should not have a through diffuser exhaust.

It does look good though.
