Well said. I think you guys have generated such an interest level, that small detail may be getting pushed to the back burner. I'm not likely to ever meet any of you guys, but I'm excited to see you succeed.

 

The small details are what we keep in mind. One of the reasons we will not rush anything into production.
We will meet some day when we can get to the west coast or MITM

p.s. stay tuned, we are using up napkins like crazy :idea:

 

So guys... where do you all do installs?

'Cause I'm here in PA

 

All these G4-related threads represent the kind of discussion, innovation, track-oriented testing, and such that I've felt was somewhat lacking in an otherwise great MINI community. Very cool stuff going on here... Kudos to G4. Now, I just need another MINI that I can make into a track car!

 

Just out of curiosity, is there a G4 web site. When I try google I get nothing.

I'm interested in the under tray, splitter and rear valance diffuser.

 

It's in the works, but still isn't up and running yet.

 

G4 Splitter

If the G4 Front Splitter is installed without the rear diffuser does it upset the handling of the car. I am considering your G4 Front Splitter and then getting the new parts for my JCW rear wing.

 

I ran several laps with the G4 splitter on the front and a wing tip extension on the back. There was noticeable down-force from the splitter but the car was NOT unsettled at all. Actually felt real good. Lap Times showed an improvement with the splitter.

 

Did you notice anything with the wing tip extension, performancewise? I have one also, but don't go to the track for another 2 weeks. What can I expect? I don't have the splitter, however. I DO have a small diffuser Joel put under the wing extension, though...dunno if it will do anything or is just a cosmetic item.

You should feel the rear end to be a little more stable.
As for the Vortex Generators below the wing, they help keep the wing out of stall by directing eddies aft of the trailing edge. They will do more to keep the rear glass clean then add downforce and they look trick.

 

I found that the effect of wing tip extension was most noticeable in high speed corners (60+ mph). I could feel the added stability at the rear.

 

Yes, they DO look interesting and I now find myself searching for the grass clippings spread onto the country roadways [instead of dodging them like before]. Now, the clippings never come near to occluding the rear glass.

As for "the Vortex Generators below the wing, help keep the wing out of stall by directing eddies aft of the trailing edge"...HUH???? Speak English, for God's sake! We are in AMERICA!

 

Hey Joel - Mendra here - the back glass does stay cleaner, I think the rear end of the car is more settled in long sweepers and on / off ramps now - I have not seen any major impact to fuel economy - it is minor.

 

This would be a great combination. The added front and rear downforce will work very well together. With the adjustable wing addition you'll be able to set it for street, open road, track---what ever

Is this Jeff? Should I write it in Spanish?
It comes down to - they work, but the best attribute is: they look good.

 

Mandra, good to hear. Thought you would like that more aggressive Wing Tip Extension. Maybe you could post a photo or two to show them off. I have not published any photos of your style of wing. I'm painting one for my R53 and will have it on soon.

Get that wing in your basement out in public. (r53) I think that is a sure winner for those that don't want the GP style wing.
Thanks for everything this weekend. I think we'll have a winner!!!!!!!!!!!!
