Looks like some sort of air scoop with a vent but it is flat. Just woundering. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Davemk1 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Dave, What is the setup under the nose of your 7. Looks like some sort of air scoop with a vent but it is flat. Just woundering. It's my very simple and a bit crude front splitter. It's made from 1/8" ABS sheet. There is a vent in the front face of it that leads to a hose that runs back and pushes air into the bottom of the foot box to help keep my feet from getting cooked............ it works pretty well with a nice flow of air. dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birkin42 Posted July 17, 2008 Share Posted July 17, 2008 Looks great on the car Dave. I bought my RPF1's from Good-Win as well. Great to deal with and good prices. They were also the only NA source for the wider European size 16x8 that I found. The RPF1's use a hubcentric ring so easy to adapt to the 60mm Birkin hubs.

11Budlite Posted July 31, 2008 Author Share Posted July 31, 2008 Just thought I'd give an update on my wheel situation. I ended up ordering some Enkei RPF1 wheels in the 15x7, 35mm offset size, with 205/50/15 Falken Azenis RT-615 tires from Good-Win Racing. I still need to get some 5mm spacers but that should be pretty easy. I should lose about 8 lbs per corner with the new set-up. Here's a VERY amateur photo-shop of what it should look like: http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1852422603_enkei dad.bmp Bruce :7drive: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

11Budlite Posted August 9, 2008 Author Share Posted August 9, 2008 Just rec'd my new Enkei wheels and Falken tires from Goodwin. It looks like they did a good job mounting and balancing them, and they didn't have to use much weight to get them balanced (some had only (2) 1/4 oz weights on them). The quality/weight of the Enkei wheels looks to be pretty impressive for the money. The wheel/tire combination ended up weighing 29.9 - 30.1 lbs on my shipping scale. The original TSW wheels/Firestone tires weighed between 38.2 - 38.9 lbs, the highest one being the unworn spare. I also removed the spare tire carrier that weighed a little over 5 lbs plus the spare tire, so adding everything up it looks like I lost about 76 lbs. Obviously the biggest weight savings is in the removal of the spare tire, but it does feel like it accelerates better and the grip is much better with the new rubber. Needless to say I'm pretty happy! Here's a photo that I took last night before the first test drive: http://www.usa7s.com/aspnetforum/upload/1715483191_20080809_0003.JPG Bruce :7drive: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
