I'm in the planning point of making my front splitter. I have tossed around a few ideas for what to use. I have used plastic, carbon and alum in the past. And this time around I am looking for carbon sheets. I can not find anything at least local. Tap Plastics has thin sheets... not even close for what I need.

The goal is to make a splitter for the front. Basically 6 inches out in the front and then go back to the transmission area.


Then using a aluminum skeleton to attach it to the sub frame I am running.


I also need to look at making sure my oil cooler gets air and then add some ducts to send fresh cool air to the brakes.

So anyone on I-club have hook ups with any honeycomb carbon sheets?? If not I'll just go back to using the plastic stuff. I have a huge list to get done before the next event. And this is one of them.

 

I don't have hook ups with honeycomb carbon sheets but can help with custom fabs

 

doesnt APR sell universal splitters? Prob the best bet.

 

I have seen them made out of wood.

 

I have looked into them. They want over $800 for one that will fit my zerosports bumper. I think I can make something better for less...

 

lol... But the stig will not be driving.. So woods not going to work.. lol

 

Could you laminate several of the thin ones from Tap Plastics together, or would it be super heavy?

 

Yeah it would be too heavy. The honeycomb carbon is the ticket. Otherwise its back to the drawing board.

 

what about that "alumilite" stuff, honeycomb aluminum. Seen people use that for splitters and its really light.

 

That would work. Any ideas where to pick this stuff up at?

I found some places on the net. Just looking for local or stuff in Socal.

 

more of the grass roots and LeMons type racing
Yeah that stuff is nice!
well crap So cal is up. I think I can find you some. I dunno about during this week though

 

Sign shops.

 

Why not just cut out of a sheet of aluminum?

 

Won't a shop with a race car have some? Try calling LIC or GST

 

Allumilite = Midwest sign, Hayward (510) 732-5800 $128 (8'x4') a sheet comes in black or white
