"Wind Split" Mazda Accessory
 

Anyone see the "Wind Split" accessory on the MazdaUSA site for the P5 accessories?

Anyone seen this or have a clue of what the hell it is???

Re: "Wind Split" Mazda Accessory
 

What?!? Are you refering to the splitter that is attached to the lower bumper on the MP3 and the 2003 (not 2003.5) Mazdaspeed? If you are, it is not listed in the accessory brochure. You will need to do a search to get the part number and order it as a regular part.

Wind Split

Improves under-chassis aerodynamics.

Sounds like the front splitter.

I have a question about this. If you install the wind splitter, can you still use the bra? Doe sit fit over the splitter?

Thanks

If you put a bra over the splitter, the splitter will no longer be useful.

Assuming it does anything in the first place...

Pics
 

Anyone have a pic with one of these on the P5?

Thanks!

that thing is so thin and our car sits too high that it will not do anything but just give you that look.

you need to get something like a DGMotorsports lip spoiler
and lower your car before you can get any benefit.

Interesting......

i was wondering about that, too. So unless the car is lowered (how low?) it does nothing?

Screw the "Undercar Aerodynamics." It looks like it my be pretty good at taking the beating if you pull up to far to a high curb or the cement wheel stops.

Ideas?

I want it!

ordering
 

it normally about a week to get the splitter in

I swear that with $10 worth of black lexan or plexi I could make that stupid thing in about a half hour.

$85 is outrageous for nothing more than a piece of plastic.

Hmmm...maybe I WILL make myself one....

You could make it easy if your bumper was flat on the bottom, but it's not
Plus the ends flare up a little so that it doesn't look like a piece of lexan

I put it on my car and I noticed at least 10hp... What are you guys talkng about?

I think theres one made outta plywood in this months SCC mag.

How easy to install?

very easy, you'll need a drill, phillips screw driver, and a small wrench I think a 7mm.

It comes w/ dirrections, and mounting hardware.

It is very sturdy

I'll take a pic of it from underneath!

i put one on my mp5. i got it off ebay for $40+-. i liked the look, i guess.

Where can I get one for $85???

I don't know who post it but, let me know.

thanks.....peace

Your Dealer

I'm ordering this from my local dealer but I have not been told a price as yet but probably around the $130 CDN range.

I had planned on getting a custom one done from a friend of mine who runs a plastic manufacturing shop and he said he could make me one for about $100 CDN out of ABS but I think I will stick with the dealer.

The real reason I am buying mine is to protect the bottom lip. Our P5 is lowered and I am real careful with curbs and driveway entrances but every so often you miss one. The other thing is that I have to be concerned about the piece lasting through the winter so that it does not crack. In my city it can drop down to -40°C during winter and you know how cold affects plastic. Plus if it is a Mazda part I would assume the warranty would be in effect so if it breaks, it will be replaced.

Breaks from what? A curb? An impact of some sort? No warranty for that.

I don't see how this thing could possibly break from anything other than a hit, and Mazda certainly isn't going to pay for it.

If you are handy with fiberglass you can do a full spliter with side "wings" for less than $25.

Chris,

It lasts fine through the winter. After my accident, mine got cracked, but it's definitly repareable. Since I'm getting a WW kit instead, I won't need it anymore and I'd be happy to sell it to ya! It's got 1 break and 1 crack, but they're both easily fixed with superglue and you won't even be able to tell. Let me know if you're interested.

plastic doesnt shrink that much in the cold

it just gets really brittle

Thanks Nick but I just ordered mine this week. Sorry. I was considering the WW kit too but it was a little pricey for me.
