Looking to see what my best options are of adding skirts at the track, and easily taking them off for jack access or everyday driving.

14 bolts hold those on. Plus, you'll ruin the metal plate with TT on it.

Default thanks. That will not be an option then. In that case, I'll fab up an aluminum bar

that bolts on to the jack rails and attach the skirts using some wing nuts or something.

Not true. I took mine off and reused the "TT plate". Not sure how/why it would get ruined.

Default working on aerodynamics to see if I can improve high speed stability

After adding a front damn, the car had amazing front end grip on high speed transitions. Moving to 285's up front made the rear handling at high speed really iffy.

I'm thinking there's enough air getting underneath to lift up the rear even at AutoX speeds.

I'm also trying to see what I can do about rear downforce. I'm trying to take off massive high speed oversteer. I tend to be drifting the car a lot, it slows me down.

Default Hi dude. the stuff under the kick plate is obvious, there are 2 wrapped around in the rear wheel

well. then it pulls down from the top.

Not difficult at all, I just F'ed up the kick plate and had to get another one.

It's really obvious in the Bentley.
