Functional Aero Kit
Well, I have serious plans to build my SVX as a hillclimb car / track beast. One of the issues im addressing is the aerodynamics of the car. Currently, she does not produce much by way of downforce. and there is lift in all the wrong places. And before you get to it, the factory wing produces little if any downforce at any speed. There is just not enough clean air flowing over it to do so. Ive even relocated mine backward on the lid by 1.5" to attempt to increase any useable DF. Nothing worth while.
Anyway.. Ive been in talks with Kaminari Aerodynamics ( http://www.kaminari.com ) about producing a functional aero kit for our cars. They are quite interested as the owner as always liked SVX's and loves subaru's in general. The plan is to create a custom front bumper with integrated splitter, custom side skirts, possible custom rear bumper and a functional rear wing along the lines of an STI wing. They are going to have my car for a month to create the kit. Ill be getting 4 of the kits, however the molds will still be good for quite a few more to be produced. I was wondering how many people would be interested in such a body kit? There are material options with the construction as well. Fiberglass, carbon fiber, Kevlar and urethane. Pricing has not been determined at this time for individual kits, but the more I say might be interested, the lower the price may be. So, who's interested? |

Re: Functional Aero Kit
Sounds cool, but I am with chuck on wanting to see. Any possibility on shaving weight by using the body kit? Obviously none of us want to add weight to the car.

Re: Functional Aero Kit
It will look allot like this:
As for weight, it wont weigh anymore than the stock trim on the SVX. |
