Great car CPR. Like the smoke rear window. Like the hole thing really. Parts for these cars loads cheaper than here. Used to get a lot of parts over there but the exchange rate killed it. Body colour door handles look pretty good too. 8)


Stephen: the subs vibrate the wiper arm all over the place :) I should probably just remove it, I do not get very much rain.

JJ: thanks, man. Parts may be cheaper here, but you guys definitely have more of them and a much better selection! Most of our parts lists are based on 86 models. Maybe an 87 but definitely no '90's and up. I was just looking at PH and am still drooling over all the available OEM hoop spoilers. I would love to have an original.

Gorgeous looking car, do you have a website detailing the splitter that you make or is it just a personal project? How on earth do you cope with 330 bhp at the wheels????? Mine absolutely flies with little more than the standard 250 at the flywheel :shock:

We 'cope' Bob :wink: Good set of sticky rubber and the car can take it. CPR here has done more on his than I've done though. Just had a test drive of my new set up today. Jon M says its how the car should of been out of the factory. It's not just power though it's how much more drivable and easier in fact to drive :D A few simple mods without neccessarily messing about with the power will improve your engine aswell.

Bobb,
Yes, I make the splitter. Not sure how the forum rules work concerning that sort of stuff and don't want to step on any toes. If you like, send me your email to: CPRacing_aero@live.com and I can send some high res shots that you can view at your leisure. I'll include all the details.


And it is easy...tight suspension, and 18x10 285x40x18's keep it straight :).....sort of.

CPR, we are quite friendly here so if you want to post some lower res pics here then fire away.

Those US spec splitters are a great touch!

Nice car - how do you find those Eighteens?

You can see the front view from the pics. Here are some uninstalled units:
Attachment:

All pre-drilled and supplied with new SS hardware, speed nuts, neoprene SS washers and Tek 5 self tappers. Cost is $240 USD, and I have sent an e-mail to my shipper to see what the shipping fees would be. Customs/Import fees-taxes I do not know what that would be....but could always mark "samples-value 0" :)

I will have my car back hopefully by Friday or Monday. I will post some various side shots then if you like :)

I'm liking them alot. $240 works out at about £150 at the moment. So depending on the shipping and duty they could work out about the same as similar fibreglass splitters in the UK.
