Martini Mini

[Ducks]

Making a new splitter as I lost the previous one the highway. Slightly wider with wing tips this time.

with miesters that shiet would be money.

my thoughts exactly.

my thoughts exactly.

Well, not meisters but SSR SP1's if I can find someone who is willing to sell some to me. You can't get them over here and getting them overseas is a pita.

Basically reduces the air speed underneath the car to better match the speed from the air that comes from the top of the car creating less turbulence and less drag.

The diffuser that M3This an I are running are form the Mini Challenge race car. They are not sold, so that is why they are so hard get.

That diffuser wouldn't be that hard to make as long as you had the dimesions and could get your hands on those cool little mounting bars. Other than that it is just a flat carbon fiber piece.

Really clean car though, nice job! I think the martini stripes really finish it up nicely.

Thanks! You're talking about the splitter. The diffuser are the tunnels in the rear.

Yup my bad, got ahead of myself when typing lol, but still could be a nice diy project on the fairly cheap side

Got my hubs redrilled from 4x100 to 5x114.3. Should have some pictures by tomorrow

[cobrawannabe]

OMG so much win. I almost can't handle the awesome.

[Ducks]

Just a few snaps of the result

[MadMax]

looks so sick

[dzvini]

Wow, cool...

Can You show us some pictures of that redrilling?

I am planning to do something similar on my Corolla...it's 4x100 too, and I will need 5x100 or 114,3

The biggest issue is size of the hub. The mini's is 130mm so that leaves plenty room. If it's to small you need to weld a plate to it to enlarge it. Then you probably need bigger brake rotors as well.
