Lower car <=> improved aero dynamics. Time to step up the game.

So, the car has been lowered and it's on it's way to get a full racing engine. 
This means it's time to consider the aerodynamics.
By lowering the car, you'll accelerate the air passing under the car and that means suction to the road. Good stuff.
It also means an increase in turbulence and in this case, the lowering seems to have accentuated the rear a bit more than the front. 
I will be correcting this in the future with coilover adjustable, but until then, I need to increase front grip at speed, meaning that the air must be rushed-in and then allowed to exit before mid-car. 
First step: Lip-spoiler with a wing profile to accelerate air.
   
Splitter lip must allow air to run under and over it, but smoother under the car.  
 
So this is step 1, and it's completed :)

Step 2 will be a front end from the PowerHouse Amuse GT1 concept.
These front fenders and guild-type fins on the side skirts, are guaranteed to allow air to flow and make the front grip. 
Obviously it implied changing the wheels and although I log these ADVAN/ VOLKs and the 18" idea, I also love my genuine 5zigens... Still, one needs winter and summer tires, so I may just have an excuse there!
Stay tuned! More to come.
