My Indy - few mods

I bought my Indy last week, it was a veryyy spur of the moment buy! but if i was building one myself, this would be exactly how it would be! i just dont have the space to do it myself!










as it was how i would built it myself, there isnt a huge amount i want to do, apart from sort this bit out....



so today i set about doing it!
iv made an aluminium sheet to cover the whole underside of the rear end, hopefully it will reduce turbulant air underneath, the diffuser part may do something with downforce, or it may not, its more for looks than anything else





test fitted






I also wanted a little 'boot' to store bits and bobs i may need, so i fabricated a box to go in above the diff, tomorrow I'll make a plate to cover the top of the rear end and fit the box under it with a lockable lid

i'll get pics of this tomorrow

i'll also be painting the diffuser gloss black and fixing it on properly

any suggestions of things i can have a play with/improve etc?

cheers

very nice looking car..

looks like the mirrors have been fitted the wrong way round thou..

if you hit something they should fold in,
yours would only fold if you reverse into something

Ah yes! Do you use yours for road use too or just track?
Im going to be looking into doing a few track days/not too serious races etc.

Diffuser complete





Fairly easy to make. Aslong as your capable of using tools and have a gear etc
