MSP World Challenge Wind Splitter

[noclue119]

*update 1*

I found one. However i might need someone to pick it up for me to send to DG for molding

*orginial post*

Does anyone else think the wind splitter is really nice?

http://corksport.com/store/image/ifg6/99p-exterior/World_Challenge_Wind_Splitter.bmp

or

http://www.modacar.com/images/cars/mazdaprotege.jpg

Its for the 2003.5 mazdspeed. but i'm sure it will fit the 2003 no problem.

now the bad new its costs $1020 from corksport.


So here is my plan.
1. Find someone with this piece ask them pay them $100 to let DG to make a mold of it for replicas.
or
2. Email the companies who race the Protege in the World Speed Challenge and bag them to let me borrow, buy or rent the piece to make a replica of it. *doubtful* worth a try
or
3. still working on soultion 3

Does anyone else like this piece. give me some feed back before i start working on this.

Keep in mind that this is a function piece. It reduces lift on the front end at high speeds, creates down force on the front wheels and it channels more air to the raditor and intercoolers.

admin please move 1 level up to the Mazdaspeed protege section because this is both an apperance and preformance.

[txrxs]

I'll take one. I know corksport makes one: http://corksport.com/tab0.4/store/category/4qbw/99p-exterior.html
Lets get a good price on these instead of assrape price.

[skilletrx]

bump for attn

[Boosted Orange]

I love the look of that lip, which is the reason I did the custom lip that I did do. I sure as hell wasnt about to fork over $1,000+ for that...

Here's my cheaper and cleaner solution to my wants...lol

Sorry about the old ass pics, but they are the best ones of the lip I have.

[txrxs]

^^^^still....no one likes that lip except you.

[ChopstickHero]

^^^^still....no one likes that lip except you.

lol

[Dexter]

dude that lip DOESNT FIT THE FUCKING CAR.

[Shane5425]

o well, screw his lip, back on subject...

[mspeed555]

I'd Want One

[noclue119]

once again i'm not looking for a lip. My 2003.5 already has a lip. I want this for the front wind splitter. Its functional not just looks.

Dexter are u talking about Boosted Orange's lips or the front wind splitter

[Dexter]

im talkin about the boosted orange lip.


Also, i think that:
generic fg or cf splitter + garden edging + silicone RTV + screws = world challenge windsplitter

[low_psi]

the world challenge cars have more than just a splitter. it runs underneath the front of the car, under the engine, etc. that's why its so expensive.

Ya i know, whatever that piece is i want to make a replica of it. because we all know that this piece could be cheaper. Besides i'm more intrested in getting more air into the raditor and SMIC

[JCell]

^^ um, that's cool, except it would make changing your oil a real pain

[noclue119]

^^ um, that's cool, except it would make changing your oil a real pain

Acutally i can't really go that far back because i remember reading hte specs on the WSC protege. and one used a Dry Sump system while the other used a Wet Sump system with the stock oil pan IIRC. So that means the front end wind splitter didn't go as far as u think or the piece had to come off each time they did an oil change which didn't make a whole lot of sense to me

[CorkSport]

It goes back to the front of the tires. Just enough room to change the oil.

since u are here what are teh chance we can setup a group buy for this? how many people do we need and what is the price?

I disagree, it is an appearance mod and belongs in this subforum.

[ForceFed]

Too bad the proteges that ran in the WRC were not MSP...They are not even boosted...All motor...And they don't run them anymore as far as i know.

not but the got to 2003.5 body kit

[aclick02]

looks nice, but too expensive.

[noclue119]

Ok I found one
I might need someone to pick it up for me to send to DG for molding. stay tuned for updates

[ND4MSP]

Good looking out. IMO, this piece is a bit overkill for a street car/ stockish speed. Though it does look hot, but I think its more the rest of the car setting it off also. But its still a new lip, which is a step in the right direction.

[CasopoliS]

I bought Cunningham Rods that came off a world speed challenge protege. Anyone have more info on these engines? I talked to Cunningham and they made a specific batch for them... sweet looking rods, but I never got specs on the engines in those. They look like they got hot... I will take pics of the bearings sometime and start a thread for opinion. Anyway... anyone have some specs? Thanks

Sorry for the jack.

Sorry....
On topic, I do not like the splitter if the car is also a daily driver. So there is my vote.

[RXMmazdaspeed]

i would love to have that on my car (2nd pic)... depending on what happens getting a mold and such, and pricing, i would definitely get this piece.

[nk2a]

Had to bring this up - These look like two different splitters.


Blunt

or

http://www.modacar.com/images/cars/mazdaprotege.jpg

Not so blunt - Looks like this splitter sticks out further and mounts further under the lip. I could be crazy.

[peepsalot]

That thing would be cracked in a second if you drove it on any normal road. Too low to the ground.

[JBreed]

looks nice, but too expensive.


do you have pictures of all sides of this car?

[noclue119]

That thing would be cracked in a second if you drove it on any normal road. Too low to the ground.
That is why i'm trying to get it made out of abs plastic or urthane

[RXMmazdaspeed]

good luck with everything... if there were a GI list, id most certaintly be on it.

[Ryoga28]

I like the second version better. seems like it's got more ground clearance than the first one.

[Prodigy]

Does anyone have any more additional pictures?
I've always wanted one of those lips.. but I have to do the MP3/MSP/MP5 conversion first.

lol... now YOU are the stalker... sorry for the threadjack, we are done.

[cvp0917]

also think too, the sport compact car magazine sentra who competes in the same class of racing i think uses an undertray kinda like that but its so strong that it can take a direct hit and not hurt the oil pan, the guys even jump up and down on it when they test suspension settings. this lip/tray might be the same way which is why its so expensive. honeycombing carbon fiber isnt easy or cheap.

Noclue119 is trying to get ahold of one so that DG can make a replica for a cheaper price.

[noclue119]

Talked to Amie at DG motorsports. We will see what can be done about it. I'll keep you guys posted.

As for the reason why the pics looks different.

look at
http://www.protomotive.net/images/photos/lime_rock/lr_grid1_bg.jpg

i think the wind splitter is on the bottom but there is also a piece that goes on top of it i.e. AutoEXE lip.

[uclap5]

i have pictures of about 8 different world challenge proteges and many have different lips, as each team either makes their own or customizes theirs.

intresting. I thought they were the same wind splitter while the filler between the buttom of the bumper and the wind splitter are custom made.

Sorry to bring this back from the dead, but I'm going to be contacting APR about the deminsions of some of their splitters to see if i can retrofit one onto my car, and i'm talking to some local companies about producing a underbody front and rear pan to smooth airflow underneath the car and attach onto the APR front splitter.

Just thought i'd let you boys know.

whats up,you don't think it will be stable enough at higher speeds?

[daedalus]

nope... i know for a fact it isnt stable at higher speeds. Felt much too twitchy and not planted enough for my liking. More downforce is definatly needed, and to get that extra top speed a smoother underbody would help a lot.

[Perro del Sol]

I will be down @ Tindol Motorsports on February 18 to check out their operations and their cars. I will get plenty of pics and see how much their version of the windsplitter costs them to make.

If guys have any questions, please feel free to PM me with them.

[ND4MSP]

Those paint schemes are pretty sweet. Anyone know what kind of wheels there running? I def like the lips there using but I couldn't see myself putting one on my speed as a stockish looking car.

I'd bet the farm they are 17X 8. I know thats what tripoint was running with racing hart CP-035's. I think all of the world challenge protege's were running 17X8.

[Black_Protege_5]

Yea they are 17x8 with 235's with a camber of -3. I live like 10 mins from tripoint and have them work on my car. They are an awesome shop.

[justanotheradikt]

Are those the OZ that they sell at 179 a piece?

[quatelate]

yeah i think so... but i dont think the 17x8 are that cheap

I would love to have one of these on my MSP.

Sub'n to see if this goes through. It'd be nice to see an affordable front splitter and rear diffuser for the MSP. I wish we had a rear diffuser like this for our cars!

Damn that things hot!!! Thanks for posting it up. I think APR would definatly make something... they just need an MSP to get some measurements on... I know that is EXACTLY what i'm looking for. If nothing else, i'm gonna buy that subbie one and retrofit it to the MSP.

I totally agree! If APR could make something like that for the MSP, I'd be all over it! Who knows...maybe the suby one will fit with minimal customization! (thumb)

Here's their website for reference:

APR Performance (http://www.aprperformance.com/index.php)

I sent them an email about creating a custom splitter for our cars. Maybe you guys can send them emails as well to show there is an interest for the product.

[daedalus]

The 02-03 WRX front Diffuser looks promising for fitting as well...

This picture shows a front lip VERY similar to the 03.5's (goes up in the middle)...

http://www.vividracing.com/catalog/images/aprwrxsplitter.jpg

[daedalus]

Also, i think this might work. The '03 WRX overall width was 68.5", the Mazdapseed Overall width was 67.1"... I'm thinking allmost no modification would be require to make this fit, other than mounting.

I mean thats basically a .5" of extra CF sticking out on each end, which is nothing...

[silverspeed03]

ohh, I hope some company decides to produce these two pecies.

I got this email from APR. Anyone got any extra time on their hands so they could send this out to them?



Thank you for contacting APR PERFORMANCE.
Currently, APR does not have the requested application Splitter.
But, we would be able to custom make one.
For us to custom make a splitter, we will need a bumper shape template.

First, use a large sheets of paper or cardboard, place underneath the front
bumper.
Draw the bumper bottom outline. The outline should be from the front to the
back.

When you are finished it should look like a "D" shape.
Fold it up then send to us.

Please include your contact information.



Cost for custom splitter; $305+ shipping
Estimated working time; 7 days.

*2 supporting rods can be bolt on to the side of center opening.





Sincerely,
TEAM APR

I will be heading down to Charlotte, NC to meet with Chris Tindol of Tindol Motorsports. I can find out from him how much their splitter wouild cost. Here is his last couple of e-mails to me.

If you guys have any other questions, I will be happy to ask him as he is very receptive to Mazda Owners. Also, I have been in contact with Jim Davis of Protomotive and also the guys at Tri-Point as well. If you need me to ask them questions as well, I will do so as they are meeting the members of a couple of Mazda 6 clubs that I belong to @ the Speed World Challenge Event at Mid-Ohio.

I will ask all three about the windsplitters on their Protege's.

[Kansei]

Not a bad price, I wonder how much of a GB discount we could get.

Yeah that's really not that bad. If they made this for the P5 I would be all over it, it looks AMAZING.

[Perro del Sol]

stick a lip in ur pocket and ill give u 600 bucks for it. lol seriously find out the size of the rims and tires cuz i wanna know

I just sent him an e mail asking those questions, I even asked for a price on the lip. Will post the answer as soon as he responds.

[jflo]

umm...WSC proteges are sex. i want that splitter. i just hope i could run in to some cash when/if the group buy starts

[low_psi]

$305+shipping isn't that bad of a price for a custom carbon piece. gotta figure out far the splitter needs to extend past the front bumper to actually make it functional enough to jsutify the money though....

[Perro del Sol]

Those paint schemes are pretty sweet. Anyone know what kind of wheels there running? I def like the lips there using but I couldn't see myself putting one on my speed as a stockish looking car.

Here is a response from Chris Tindol in regards to the splitter, tires, wheels and suspension.


Hey Marlon,

Sorry I just got into the computer and got into my mail. The splitter on one of our race cars or the factory lip that fits on the bottom of the front air dam? The spltter is the carbon piece that has a 3 inch black fence (vertical) around the front edge and the a horozontal carbon plank that is .5 inch thick honey comb. This hor. part goes back to mid axel under the car. The splitter also has vents for ducting to the tranny or brakes.
Tires and wheels for the protege are the same we run on the 6. I think they are 17x8 48mm offset. We have OZ supper leggra and SSR comp. Our issues with fitment is to clear our calipers. I'm in the process of up fitting a street car 6 with our race suspenision. This would give a guy full adj. range that he may not have with factory settings. This can be done. What do you think the interest would be like? When you visit I'll show you I think you will like the look of it.

Let me know what parts if any the guys are interested in for the proteges. We could do the same for the suspension on that car also.

Chris


If you have any interest in please let me know and I will let him know, again I will be at his shop on February 18.

I wouldn't reccomend running the SWC lip on the street for anyone who wants it to stay pretty. Honeycomb+a few layers of pre-preg don't handle impacts well. Trust me

I still want one for the track though :)

PICS: Impact damage(bondo'd and painted). 4 layers of ppc, 1/4" honeycomb, 2mph and a brick wall. The car was BARELY moving and the endplate was destroyed. It can handle 60mph cone impacts(600N+ of force) but anything harder than a cone is bad. Just so you know it won't be pretty after daily driving with a SWC splitter....

I will be at his shop this Saturday morning, I know that they ran 5 Proteges at the last SWC event @ Laguna Seca, in addition to the 6 they entered. They were trying to win the MFG. Championship.

They will run 2 6's and the Proteges every so often. Chris Tindol is pretty cool, if you ever want to see his operation, just e-mail or call him, he is very accessable and interested in helping out both the Protege and 6 communities.

[quatelate]

he got a website?

[vinnie mack]

they should sell some merchandise.. i'd buy it, but i like green for some odd reason.

[justanotheradikt]

that pic of the 6 close up facing you...bad ass pic

[Perro del Sol]

I will have updated informationn for you guys, by Saturday, evening. I will let him know that some of you want merchandise. I know he is working on suspension for the 6 and the Protege as well.

I will see what price he can get Splitters manufactured for us, if you want something else, let me know and I will ask him.

[spacemonkey]

its nice but I have teh DG urethane lip...I rather them make one that fits that.

[justanotheradikt]

ive got the 03.5 lip...which is what they all run....sooo thats awsome...see what price is for the lips

[spacemonkey]

^^ um, that's cool, except it would make changing your oil a real pain

The skylines GTRs have a underbody tray and a little trap door to make oil changes a breeze.

I say it can be cheap if its nto carbon fiber.

[apocman]

cool :)

Here are some pics of the Splitter and some of the 6's and Protege's that Tindol Motosports will be running in the SWC TC races. As far as the splitter, the cost of his is $2200 dollars and requires special mounting brackets and hardware.

He has no issues, letting another company produce one and using his as a mold. Also, he will be providing me with a list of items that he will be willing to sale to our members. He is going to contact Brembo and see how low we can get their new big brake kit, see pics.

I will continue to update and add pics of my visit with Chris Tindol. Again, he is more than willing to work with us and help us out.

[spacemonkey]

Take a piece of sheet metal and metal cutter and do it yourself... ;)

it would be better if it was plastic though.

[vinnie mack]

I love him, and i love you for going there and doing this research for us!!!

[jmv]

Do you happen to have any pics from the front or side that show the splitter installed on the car??

And does anyone know how we figure out how much the splitter would cost to get manufactured by someone??

[Perro del Sol]

yes

[Perro del Sol]

Really nice.

Crawford Composites Manufactured that exclusively for him. A number of people said it would not work, but it does, as it take in much cleaner air than the wheel placement.

The cost: $4,000

It looks impractical for everyday use unless your house is on a racetrack, but it is dead sexy.

I caught a glimpse of this APR splitter on the Hasport Si, and you'll notice that the lines on it are fucking perfect for an 03.5 MSP. This is gonna be the new goal. I'm contacting APR today to see about them making me one.
