silly pics aside, what did you all think of the tests? i kinda knew about the bonnet being raised and that it will suck cold air in, but dont know f-all about what can be done to lower drag etc.... What I took from the article was that you need to cover the entire car in 10Kg of silver duct tape Edited by Sprocket on 5th Jan, 2010. On 26th Oct, 2004 TurboDave16v said:

I can gladly say that the livingroom floor is finished but the car is 6" deep in snow, so its at least another week before I can pull the engine, which means I now have to replace the conservatory floor. And that means more points for me

From what I read, it seems that a front splitter, side skirts (with a lip) and a smooth transition from floor to a rear undertray are of use.

Also it confirmed my theory that having minimum 'holes' in the front (for cooling etc.) hepls. We minimised ours and saw good improvements in speed. so for example, a blanked off grille would perform better areodynamically?? On 2nd Oct, 2009 Vegard said:

I've been thinking about fitting aluminum plates under the rear subframe. That has got to work! On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

Was thinking of something similar myself, for putting onto a Mini Marcos (using a centre exit exhaust), and wondered if a front splitter could be somehow incorporated into a kind of sumpguard type arrangement in order to smooth the airflow onto the floorpan. Carbonweezel seemed to think something could be made. |
