ACR Wanna-be Upgrades

[EXHLR8N]

Hi Gang - I upgraded my 2003 SRT with a Wing, Guerney Flap, Front Splitter, Canards, Side Splitters and dashboard in carbon fiber.

What do you think?

 

[redtanrt10]

Bruce, work came out very good. Kobe has a similiar set up and says it works. Are you going to be at Spring Mountain? Mike

 

[ViperGeorge]

Can you PM me the cost of the upgrades (minus the carbon fiber dash)?

Only been a owner for a while but that's a lot of downforce. The suspension on these things street wise seems pretty soft. Do you end up with problems at speed. Tire rollover hitting the stops that sort of thing. I can see the other prepped cars in the picture so I can assume you are not running a stock setup.

Looks great brother, I got my wing from Tony too, they do great work on the CF. Mine is on an '03 as well, the next step is the splitter and canards. In fact, he had sent me a photo of your car to show how the wing looks on a 'vert. Don't know about you, but I've received both positive and negative comments on it. It's either loved or hated. Either way, I love it and it stays...

Different strokes for different folks. Don't like it.

 

[Newport Viper]

Throw on the red drivers stripe and different wheels and it will be perfect!

 

[steponz]

I like the splitter without the yellow personally... That wing is huge....

I would get some blacked out wheels... hehe

 

[ssnaked]

Looks nice. Make sure you make appropriate modifications to your suspension. The downforce from that wing can drive your wheel wells down on your tires. I have seen guys rub out their wheel wheels at Viperdays with the same set up. It can also be dangerous.

 

[Socrates]

Whoa, and I thought my ACR wing was huge.

 

[ssnaked]

What do they say? "Its not the size of your wing but how you use it." Something like that.

Hey Bruce,

I know you have KW shocks all around. Do you know your spring rates?

You many want to increase them a bit due to the aero.

We can talk about that at Spring Mountain.

[THEMASH]

More info on the carbon fiber dash plz..

Whoa, and I thought my ACR wing was huge.

It has to be an illusion or we are talking serious downforce......

 

[EXHLR8N]

Hey Mike - I will be. The track is great and should be fun. Do you want to caravan?

 

[EXHLR8N]

Hey Art - definate downforce. I came in second in the 150 mph class at the May Silver State Classic, running over 160 for over 20 minutes. The car was incredibly stable.

I have it set in a "neutral" setting and still get downforce. There are many settings.

 

[Twister]

ugly IMHO....

Wing looks to big from that angle...Got more pics of it...The yellow on the front canard is just off...

I think a stock one would look nicer...

But Im sure that car has some crazy DF

 

[EXHLR8N]

As Dan (Viper X) mentioned, I have KW shocks and am running the stock wheels with PS -2's.

I ran in the 150 class at the Silver State Classic last May and had no problems .... ran at 160+ for over 20 minutes.

I run the wing in a "neutral" setting (set up from APR), which has plenty of downforce. I have not tried any of the other holes.

Bruce, definately, Lance and a few other folks are leaving early and I'd need to leave about 10am to catch them. I was thinking more like 11 am (I know you and I can probably catch them!). Let me know if 11am depart from here is good for you.

FYI, my viper should have the full ACR aero finished by early next week.

 

[Magnus_]

I like it, looks good!

 

[1fast400]

Is that a leopard snake on the dash?

 

[EXHLR8N]

1fast - Its actually a Viper (Xmas present from my daughter)

 

[Austin]

Holy rice, Batman.

 

[redtanrt10]

Hey Bruce, I don't want to hear any, "mine's bigger than yours"! Looking forward to the Spring Mountain event.

 

[pteam]

IMO, those wings are too big for a convertible and look ricerish...

 

[1HOTV10]

Looks great Bruce. Like all the engine upgrades also. Thanks for running with us
last weekend in Ojai. Are you going to Willow Springs Oct. 30-31?

Glenn...............

 

[EXHLR8N]

Hey Glenn- I am going to Spring Mtn. on Oct 3-4. Had not planned Willow, however. I may rethink.

 

[Austin]

Your car looks good moving.

Hey Austin,
Great picture !
When did you come out for Cars & Coffee?

Thanks, but Im not the photog of the pic. I frequent a BMW site and they had pics from the C & C. I noticed it was the SRT in this thread, so I figured Id post it.

I wish I lived close so I could go to C & C!
