You did a good job of that in the start. Nobody reads more than the first post or two anyway.

I'd personally be wary of their angle of attack.

LOL! dang, that escalated quickly...

I do read on, I do care.

That angle

tho

looks nice

and should add a little

downforce not that it would matter

as much as doing the verus front splitter with its

attached side wings. If I came across as something other than

helpful, I apologize. It looks nice on your car.

Enjoy!

I don't really like to have my attention redirected from the new Australian Netflix smash hit show "Yummy Mummies". But when it is redirected from the Australian cultural documentary Yummy Mummies I expect it to be from the quality of comedy presented here today.

You guys are doing the lords word.

No it's time I return to the best Netflix geo-political bio-flick series on goblins ever created.... Yummie fucking Mummies!!!!

What can canards do at speed?

Just for fun (I'm guessing) I'm posting this to see if anyone really knows anything about the performance effects of canards.
These are all cheap, thin plastic. some have a dipped faux CF image on one side. I put them on with 3M tape and then used black hot-melt adhesive to create a fillet along the top of the gap (left by the tape and the radius of the mounting lip). They withstood 121 MPH for around 80 laps at LRP. yesterday.
Over the winter I've done a ton of stuff to my car. SEE MY JOURNAL, starting here.
So, with a different 4:56 rear end, stiffer springs, 3-way racing dampers, increased camber, bigger tires, lowered by 1/2" more (to 13" in the front) AND the canards, I'm a bit reluctant to say the Canards did it!
What happened was the rear end was looser than before. I got it to settle down quite a bit with shock valving on the JRZ's, and tire pressure. I did a personal best of 1:02 at Lime Rock Park, a track I know very well.
I was 1.3MPH slower than when my 2022 BRZ was one year old with no canards and smaller 255 Hoosiers. Yesterday I was one second faster.
Any thoughts about empirical data (or any data) about what downforce canards can generate and at what speed do the start working?
