Since I switched to running TT4 this year, I need to make a new splitter to be compliant with TT4 rules. Can't extend more than 4" past the bumper and can't go past the front wheel center line. I also wanted to make it lower than my existing splitter which means it has to be quick disconnect to get on and off the trailer. And also easier to strap down on the dyno at the track.
Thanks to Chad at CBRD for help welding up the framework.

New splitter is pretty low. Was scraping during compression on some turns. I'll have to raise it up a little. It can be removed in less than 30 seconds once the car is jacked up.
with the canards removed, but the front splitter lowered, the front feels like it has more grip then before.

Your car is amazing! Just a question of curiosity...Why did you close up the brake inlets in the lower front bumper? Don't you need those openings for cooling? Or, is it for aerodynamics? Keep up the great work!

Did your oil temps change with the relocation? My oil temps are at a steady 260 on a 70 degree day with the stock cooler in stock location. I'm going to try Balrok's oil cooler fan setup first, and if that doesn't work I may want to relocate it like you -- but I worry about blocking the radiator.
