SkunkWurx Updates

[HamTT]

Hi chaps, hope everyone's good!

Just some updates for some products coming out soon!

If anyone wants to get in touch with me, PLEASE DO NOT SEND ME PM's, I don't seem to get the notifications for them so they'll go unanswered. Just email me directly or through my site.

Anyway, here goes...

New Dual Element front Wing



The prototypes are in and testing is being done on them with promising results.

CF Atom 3/3.5 Front Lamp Covers/Light Upgrades



The carbon covers will be available separately to replace the plastic existing covers but will also be available as a complete light upgrade for the Atom's with the old tractor lights. Rear lights will follow.

2-part rigid/semi-floating discs for use with alcon brake setup





These literally are a piece of art! Seems a shame to put them on the car and let them wear down!

Two part discs offer several advantages over standard ones:

1) Weight - The center part (bell) is made of aluminium and the outer (rotor) is made of steel. This allows the disc to be lighter as a single/fixed disc is made fully of steel.

2) Performance -When the rotor (outer secion) is subjected to serious heat it expands. By allowing it to float separately from the mounting face it is free to expand and shrink again at will without being constrained by its mounting. When this expansion takes place it does so in all directions at once and it will not be constrained. If you prevent this from happening in one direction (by fixing it on its mounting face) it has no choice but to warp, so floating_discs are made in two parts to allow the discs to expand and prevent them from warping thus more suited to higher performance applications. The Atom is a light car and this may not be as critical as on a road type car but the discs still do get very hot after a few laps of serious use, and I have come across warped discs on an Atom before so it is not unheard of.

3) Cost - The outer rotor can be replaced when it wears down, so no need to pay for a new bell. The cost of a new rotor is will be considerably less than the cost of a full disc.

4) Looks - the look neat!

Being tested as we speak!

How wide is the new dual element front wing? Looks nice!

I just looked through your website and your products and pricing seem great!

I'll get the dimensions drawn up and some photos with it on the next week hopefully and let you know.

Hi Frank,

When I started doing the parts I wanted to keep the prices low and affordable, the whole reason I started doing them was because there was no choice in the market and the factory prices, in my opinion, were artificially high for some products because of this.

This whole project has been a labour of love for me and to be honest I find it more rewarding seieing the results of my efforts on peoples cars rather than the bottom line.

HamTT is a stand up guy! I have both his front and rear wings. Let me know when you get the lamp covers in
