Rear downforce options

[Fabman]

I usually use a shipping address in Miami and then gather a big shipment of parts with our Hoosier rep here in Chile. That way we keep the price down. Shipping/taxes etc adds about 40% to everything :'(

I lived in Hawaii for a spell, that's when I noticed how many things were "only shipped to the lower 48".
Got me a painful geography lesson right there....and what WAS shipped came on the backs of golden dolphins....or at least that's what shipping rates suggested.

Lived for a Year in Keehi Lagoon and Kahanamoku Lagoon. Great place to be a teenager. Fond memories!!

Nice, but why only a year? Sounds like an extended vacation!

Just don't remind me about the PITA of shipping to Hawaii! I used to do the same for any businesses that would only ship lower 48. Send to my brother here in SoCal and have him re-ship back home. And then I hate thinking of all the crap that made it back here round-trip when I moved.

Sailed to Hawaii from Vancouver with family on small yacht. Stayed for a year and then sailed back to wet cold Vancouver. Dad thought it would be a good experience!! Great way to grow up!

I bought my Boss by internet, then plunked in a container to Ship down to Chile. Crazy idea, but have no regrets.... Ford Chile said you brought it.... You fix it... ;D

Sounds like Ford Chile needs to work on their customer service...

Down here the word "Customer Service" does not mean the same as in the US. But it might improve, many, many more American cars now then 10 years ago...

Has anyone seen or know anything about the MMD Downforce Aluminum Rear Spoiler (10-14 All)? Sold at American muscle? I'm having problems with traction at 80+ mph and need something to help!!!

Looks like a lot of drag. *no pun intended.

Yeah but I was hoping for some downforce up top. On the 1/8th I'm getting very loose

I was able to achieve 100% traction at 700/676 with no aero and a very modest suspension setup. Are you stick or auto?

Stick, but I'm not kissing during shifting it's at high rpms normally when I'm approaching 100 backend gets light

I never experienced that. Car was so hooked up it was boring to drive.
Are you sure it's not walk from the wrinkle walls?

Thought that a first, so kept playing with pressure... but it also does it on my street trip tires as well.

Odd problem. Is it blowing up the tires or just a stability issue?

Depending on track temps, I've had it just unsettle, but if it's too cold I've had it brake loose. Stays straight for the most part just the peddling is killing my times.

Sometimes excessive anti squat will let it bite initially, but spin farther down the track. I don't know what your setup is but I bet it's in there somewhere.
