Most liked posts in thread: Recipe for a front splitter

What, my daily beater? Ported head, giant Mishimoto radiator, old KYB AGX shocks with Flyin' Miata springs, Racing Beat bars front and rear. It's a '94 so a 1.8L. I had to give the driver's seat a foamectomy so I could drive without hitting my head on the soft top bows, but usually I'm rocking the hardtop.

 

I've only been in the Miata world for about five years. I do remember when they came out, driving one around and thinking "this is one of the best-handling cars ever made." I still think so.

BTW I forgot to mention that my old '94 has all urethane bushings, and the rears squeak a lot over rough pavement. I also have the car aligned to a spec between FM (too tame) and JD (too much camber for the street).

 

HDHCSSDD = Hard Dog Hard Core Stainless Steel Double Diagonal... right? If I get that right I guess I know more about Miata stuff than I thought.

 

Update: I've added a bit to the splitter.
Here's a pic of the original work. See the green arrow? That points to the bit I wasn't sure I liked. The corner sticking out looked a little bit unfinished to me.





Over the weekend, I added a "flip-up" to each end of the splitter (shown below by the red arrow). Still foam and carbon fiber (blue buoyancy foam this time). Sculpting the foam took quite a bit of time!






I think it finishes out the piece a bit better.

 

Yep, old, trusty 16" Rotas. Currently with 40 series tires that are just too low profile (on 16 inch wheels) for the wheel arches, hence the wheel gap. I think the car looks better on 45 series tires (used to have Azenis RT-615) but the price on the current tires couldn't be beat.
