Hope you don't mind Lee but as there's been quite a bit of talk about aero in the last few pages I thought you might find this useful. I always thought the reverse facing air ducts pulled air out but this shows it well. I still don't understand whats happening with the rear spoiler though lol.
Where the air gets pushed down and also the smoke trail gets thinner (free stream high above the car at the start of vids is very different to anywhere near the body) this is it being accelerated --> faster = lower pressure. So even though the air isn't direct up much at all by the wing, it is accelerated under the surface, and therefore creates downforce... conversely, the whole of the upper body makes lift.
Good find BTW Daz, I'm sure Blaktooth and other guys interested in homemade aero will be interested to see A2 Wind Tunnel's Youtube Channel. The Ferrari 458 and Ford GT race cars are interesting to see how effective the front ducting is; Ferrari has far better re-attachment over the bonnet, Ford very messy. Hopefully with more ducting Blaktooth (and I) can aim to get close to either!
Finally.
Hopefully get it on at the weekend.
cool, hopefully that'll sort your coolant issue
Hopefully or I just wasted £100, ha! Looking to keep the installation neat and tidy so the original overflow bottle will probably be switched out for a custom can. The can can then be mounted to the left of the rad away from the airfilter and close to the breather tank. Fortunately I have a mate that can knock up exactly what I'm after. To be honest, if the system works as it should then the overflow bottle should remain dry, it's only there as a fail safe.cool, hopefully that'll sort your coolant issue
In other news, I'm still waiting for the Greddy diff plate to arrive from Japan. Overnight is a myth
Breather installed.
Boom!

Edit: looks like a nice bit of kit.

woooow nice!
Whats the purpose of the diff plate other than larger capacity?
Larger capacity + increased cooling
Correct. Plus it's baffled so the oil shouldn't slosh about.

Just need to get the alignment checked now and she's ready to rumble.
What ARB's are they and can you get the drop links separately? Also, went to Bubble and Kick in the week on your recommendation, good blokes, definately be going back
The bar's are Whitelines. Got them from Dan at SRB Power. He might know if the links can be purchased seperately.What ARB's are they and can you get the drop links separately? Also, went to Bubble and Kick in the week on your recommendation, good blokes, definately be going back
Yep, B&K know their stuff. They have Freddie Hunt driving their Clio in the GT Cup this year as well!
