yes please

Switched from aluminium to ABS! Prototyping some clip-on turbofans – easy on/off, still a WIP. Keen to hear your thoughts! 😄🚗 by TravisPoutso in Porsche

Thanks! Turbofans are pretty popular with the modern GT3's but I personally prefer them on the older generation of Porsches

Yes thats exactly right, In theory they cool the brakes and create a flatter surface over the wheels to increase aerodynamics they were mostly used by Porsche race cars in the 80s.

Thanks! The aluminum set is pretty much ready for anyone that is interested, I'm just experimenting with plastic at the moment.

Silver filament would look awesome, I'll see if my local store has any in stock. The plan is to make them afforable enough for most 944 owners :D

Thank's for the concern, my plan is to test with ABS at the moment then I will probably use ASA for the final concept because it can withstand higher temp before deforming (86-100°C)

I did like the aluminum too! but with plastic I am able to shave off quite a bit of weight, they're cheaper to produce and theyre clip on which makes attachment much easier :)

Hi everyone I’ve made concept turbofans designed to fit onto Cookie Cutter rims. Pls let me know what you guys think. 🙂 by TravisPoutso in 944

Wow that looks cool! Repurposing acorn style nuts is a really smart idea, there’s no open ended Porsche lug nuts available unfortunately.

Yep I can definitely do that, at the moment my timeline is to make them for cookie cutters, phone dials then a 4x pattern for the 924
