Racing the Pulsar

[red reading]

nothing the matter with plywood. light, strong, will deflect, takes impact well

True,i know it's used as sacrafical skid plates on race cars too, but at least on other race car's you can't see it's a lump of ply:lol:

You best tell dd autosport then as that car now lives on a trailer!!

Q the song; Were on a road to nowhere:lol::lol:

Make it too strong and the shock is deflected up in the bumber and then the wings as I found out I Loton 2 years ago...If the front bumper was g/f it would have cracked and saved my wing from buckling....
Danny and Den have seen my car and thers no chance in the world im putting a bit of WOOD in my spoiler....it will be in G/F. Plus I cant make it to prominant. Might even base it on the Laguna spoiler with the addition of the undertray.

I have found a few pics but not sure how to get them on here....

Snob....Yes your right I want a car to perform not plough a bl**dy field....lol
Ill try and fallow the link...its a New GTR spolier and undertray that I think is perfect for what I need.

Sorry John lost the will to live halfway through reading it....

 

[pulsarboby]

what about some upvc cladding its light, easily shaped, strong and cheap and surely a step up from a lump of ply:lol:


if you do knock some up phil il have one off ya but i dont want an undershield on it if thats ok

 

[bracpan]

Only one problem with upvc, glass fibre will not stick to it....to be honest the undertray is the easy bit and will be detachable so thats no problem...Its the shape of the actual spoiler thats the tricky bit, to make sure it can come out of the mould easy other wise its a split mould...not the end of the world but just a bit more of a fiddle.

adding the comment about plywood ref got everyone thinking eh? Bracpan: I was only after a wind up, your panels are 1st class...(proven in competition..)

 

[bracpan]

Jon , thanks for the comment, this is what I have bene thinking of,,,,think I can do one for the Pulsar a touch cheaper !!!

think I can do one for the Pulsar a touch cheaper !!!

What, down to £3000?:shock::lol:

 

[bracpan]

Lol....yes!!! mad price or what ??? But the design etc is great.

 

[dencon]

Phil. That looks great, but I would think its going to be a swine of a job making the mould. As I said before I have a bumper off at the moment that will not be required until next March, if it of any help.

 

[bracpan]

Den many thanks for the offer...but it will easyer to start to make the buck for the mould on the car so I can get the measurments correct. Once thats done the mould shouldl be easier but might be a 2 piece one...the undertray should not be relativly easy after the spoiler...will keep you informed.
