I plan on making a detachable front air splitter for my car. I was wondering how many third gen owners utilize these for racing. If you can, show pics!

 

this will show you how to make it actually work.. somewhat.

 

That's awesome, thanks for the picture! I also plan on added a rear air diffuser as well to better direct airflow leaving the car.

 

Raver, do you have an underbody CAD drawing of a third gen? Ive been contemplating CNCing some panels to smooth the body. A drawing to start with would help.

 

Probably a dumb question but wouldn't covering the underside of the engine block the airflow that helps cool the oil pan?

 

I like the idea keep us posted

 

Keep in mind that thirdgens get air from underneath to cool the rad.

 

Made this up for the Firebird, works for street and track use but is 4" off the road. A true splitter is 1.5 - 2" off the road, wraps around the nose of the car, and still needs to find a way to feed cooling air to the rad. Much more involved, and as you say needs to be detachable for trailering and for street use. Ideally would incorporate a belly pan and brake cooling ducts, and has to be strong enough to stand on.

Do a search, there are a few threads on TGO, and on frrax.com.

 

It's a diffuser not a splitter but I wasn't sure if you wanted that specific

 

Here's a second

 

What is that made out of?

 

Alumalite

 

Just googled it....very interesting stuff.

 

It is very strong and a lot cheaper than a sheet of carbon fiber
