MSP World Challenge Wind Splitter

also think too, the sport compact car magazine sentra who competes in the same class of racing i think uses an undertray kinda like that but its so strong that it can take a direct hit and not hurt the oil pan, the guys even jump up and down on it when they test suspension settings. this lip/tray might be the same way which is why its so expensive. honeycombing carbon fiber isnt easy or cheap.
 
i have pictures of about 8 different world challenge proteges and many have different lips, as each team either makes their own or customizes theirs.

intresting. I thought they were the same wind splitter while the filler between the buttom of the bumper and the wind splitter are custom made.
 
Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but I'm going to be contacting APR about the deminsions of some of their splitters to see if i can retrofit one onto my car, and i'm talking to some local companies about producing a underbody front and rear pan to smooth airflow underneath the car and attach onto the APR front splitter.

Just thought i'd let you boys know.

whats up,you don't think it will be stable enough at higher speeds?
 
nope... i know for a fact it isnt stable at higher speeds. Felt much too twitchy and not planted enough for my liking. More downforce is definatly needed, and to get that extra top speed a smoother underbody would help a lot.

Its for the 2003.5 mazdspeed. but i'm sure it will fit the 2003 no problem.

now the bad new its costs $1020 from corksport.


So here is my plan.
1. Find someone with this piece ask them pay them $100 to let DG to make a mold of it for replicas.
or
2. Email the companies who race the Protege in the World Speed Challenge and bag them to let me borrow, buy or rent the piece to make a replica of it. *doubtful* worth a try
or
3. still working on soultion 3

Does anyone else like this piece. give me some feed back before i start working on this.

Keep in mind that this is a function piece. It reduces lift on the front end at high speeds, creates down force on the front wheels and it channels more air to the raditor and intercoolers.
