I like those door cards as well. I've thought about trying to do something like that in the past but never committed to it. Fit and finish looks good to me.

I want to say Fire used those eBay civic splitter mounts as well? Maybe they were supposed to be for an NC and not a Civic.

Regardless, welcome and great intro

ETA - I'm running a DW200 with flex fuel and haven't seen issues from it around 300+ WHP. IIRC the 640's should be okay to around 250-300 on E

Nc cams: did you prefer the fab9 stage 1 or the Brian Crowder stage 2 when you were still na? (Top of the head but I think I'm remembering those were the cams you had.)

Tunnels: had these alu tunnels on the v1 splitter and swapped them to the wider v2 when I made it. The old narrower, shorter splitter + ramps overpowered the lexan spoiler but was not enough for the wing - had to run at basically 0* to not induce understeer.
With the v2 splitter + ramps I adjusted the wing down and somewhere around 5* is a good balance. For ***** and giggles I added in like 10* AoA and it defo wasn't balanced but wasn't undriveable by any means.

Another note on the wing - was originally looking at the 9LR big **** but ended up the WingLogic MSHD in large part due to Occams write ups on his blog. And it was more cost effective and I'm a cheap bastard. Not sure if he's still active here or not but the wing is phenomenal. Dropped 3-4 seconds on my ~1:30 lap times with no other changes. Its a bit draggy for a na car but the track I frequent is short (Hallett) with no real long straights so I didn't feel the impact too much. My vmax is ~5mph faster at the end of the front straight with the wing compared to before.

For cams, I’d unquestionably run the Fab9 stage 1’s again. With the Esslinger Stage 2’s, I wound up with a substantial torque dip at 5k rpm (right where you don’t want it) and the motor still wanted to make more power past 7.2k rpm (already past the generally recommended 7k limit). The Fab9’s make more power everywhere under 6.3k, and flatline around 7.2k. Long story short, much better powerband in my experience.

Re: wing stuff. That’s sick to hear you had such great results with it. You’re saying you ran 5mph slower at the end of the straight with the wing vs without, right? I never experimented with large AOA changes like you did. My car’s pretty balanced with 0-3* so I never went outside that range, but I did feel like it started turning into a parachute at 3* when the car was N/A

You handmade those in one piece?! I think I will give it a go, but use angle to mount as my build thread demonstrates, metalworking is not one of my strengths LOL!

Was planning to have my friend design and print something like this to add inside the radiator ducting near the front then run the tubing out the side and back. 949 has the pic of the tubing going into the ducting but no pics (that I could find) of the actual inlet piece.
