Not exactly. We have ideas for developing aero and full ground effects, but not exactly JDM panels. I will look into the matter a bit more though.

They don't need to be exact, but I think underpanels for people that don't want an extreme kit would be good.

Some ideas:
1. Use aluminum, with some carefully placed bends it could be plenty rigid with a thin piece.
2. Multi-piece design to cut down on shipping costs (separate vertical pieces would let you flat pack it

I actually feel that it is the moderators fault for allowing/leaving this repeat offender of creating such situations to stay within the community. I don't see why they just keep letting him go after creating problems between vendors and/or forum participants, time after time.

Don't let it get to you, as an engineer (albeit electrical) myself, I fully appreciate the knowledge transfer you have continued to provide under no obligation.
You actually kept your cool and acted professionally likewise with RacerX.

Oh, sorry for my terribly worded phrase, it was too early in the morning. That is what I meant, we were planning on full under body, but not necessary split panels like the JDM version. However, we have the ability to make multi-piece interlocking panels so they would be easy to ship, and look clean when installed.

Respect. Double Es have it rough! To this day, I still have no idea how things like Op-Amps and MOSFETs work internally or how I passed those exams lol. Luckily, there are much smarter people than I that handle those matters.

Don't you know, never bad mouth mods, that cannot lead to anything good. Just a tip.

I appreciate the kind words. I'm ready to put it behind me and keep moving forward with development.

Just different strokes. Even though I am EE, I also love using solidworks but FEM and CFD is beyond me unfortunately, that's where you guys come in.

Accountability and credibility that is all, cheers for the tip

Keep up the good work, I look forward to the learning experience.

Sorry, I was being a bit cryptic and tight lipped about this. I had to finalize some things before we could release details. We plan on developing the ground effects, and the side panels will be made of Tegris and be similar in manufacturing to our splitter, which you can see in our aero development thread here:

For some non BRZ/FR-S/GT86 news, our sponsored race team is gearing up for One Lap of America.



The car is nicknamed "Evil." Paul did a full CFD analysis and front splitter design to bring back the desired aero balance from adding the GT3 Cup rear wing. The car was prepared by Nothing Leaves Stock in PA. Full mod list includes:

-maktrak full sequential 6speed trans custom built for us in th uk with staright gears but 6th for street driving(haha yes they will be "street legal")
-custom flywhell and twin dics 800hp clutch from clutch master with a tilton slave
-DDS rallye axles
-custom motor and trand brackets to move the motot and bolt in the trans
-BFI motor mounts to bolt to custom brackets
-tubular manifold with a new GTX3071R turbo with tial vabnd housing and 38mm MVR water cooled Vband WG
-3'' custom exhaust
-wiggins clamps everywhere....
-full built TSI 2.0L motors with dry sump oil system and CNC port heads with ferra valve train by INA
-RS4 throttle body with custom adapter to fit wiggins clamps
-no AC, 3x27x12 fmic, 3'' aluminum rad
-no rubber bushings, full car is aluminum bearing bushings
-custom aluminum cnc control arms for the front for adjustment, rears are modified for a custom ball mount adjuster and can be height adjusted while car is on the ground
-camber plates
-ANEZ 3 way adjustable coilovers with remote res with penseke guts
-C2 custom tune with larger maf and injectors around 500whp
-thunder bunny front end, with custom carbon fiber brake ducts
-custom carbon fiber race wide body flares
-custom sunroof blanks in carbon fiber to get the 68lbs worth of junk off the roof
-carbon fiber hoods
-sparco steering wheels
-custom made to our spec rotiform race wheels. monoblock forged CNC DUS with pocketing 18x9.5 et 31. weigh under 20lbs each
-carbon fiber GT3 cup wings
- aluminacord front splitter
-sway bars from AWEtuning with adjustable link
-velvo halo race seats and cam lock belts
-brembo 355mm BBK for the front, rears are upgraded to R32 with slotted rotors and SS line all around, carbotech pads
-totally gutted but the dash
-under body pan
-cages
-braile batteries in the back

So if One Lap is stopping by your area, stop by and take a look, we'll be at the Tire Rack and Grissom events for support. http://www.onelapofamerica.com/curre....do?eventId=32

Our resident electrical engineer is filling in as the lead DAG for #60 Sunoco car at the Indy 500 this year. :]

I do like your rear wing and the fact that it has no attachments on the 'suction-side' to make it more effective/efficient. (But it would possibly not be street legal in Europe.)

Have you also considered a simple, adjustable roof-wing like the Lancia Delta Integrale used to have: http://www.evo.co.uk/front_website/g....php?id=571600
(I think this could still be effective in an autox without affecting the looks/drag of the car too much during daily driving.)

We most likely won't be doing a roof wing, but we will be doing a simple trunk wing in the future.
