    Spoilers - Obviously Cool!

    CORRECT A MUNDO!!! underbody flow is very important, bt ride hight isnt the key to a lower pressure zone below it. Basically, i got my letter into CCC magazine explaining the McClaren F1 underdody aerodynamics. Anyway, the less air flowing under the car, the lower the atmospheric pressure...

    Spoilers - Obviously Cool!

    True, boundary layers are a b*****d, and thats why F1 inlet ports are machined with a golf ball dimple effect to create a turbulance layer, to stop flowing air sticking to the port sides and depositing fuel on the walls. Anyway, i think we got a bit muddled up, on a sallon, the air will flow...

    ah, you see, aerodynamics dont really come into play until ablove 70mph. And the hatch back design is one that is effectively more aerodynamic than the tradytional saloon style design, which is why volvo entered its estate car in BTCC first, but it was too heavy. The air comming off a hatch back...

    how much for putting a clutch in an RT

    35 quid for the clutch kit inc all thrust bearings etc. ANyway, if you do it yourself, itll take a day. Jack the car up, take off the bonnet, unplug everything, disconnect the gearlink, disconnect the driveshafts (make sure you have a new pin to put in the right side driveshaft where it connects...

    exhausts

    look under the left side of the bumper, the exhaust is there, and a replacement one will not need cutouts....itll just poke out

    exhausts

    there proper jap style, slash cut 4" exhausts, and top quality, but on the cheap..... you can get them to put it onto your existing exhaust system from the cat back for not much.

    a road spoiler wil not do anything, period....except for the things you see on porsches and McClarens etc. So dont bother.

    Anyone got a Pipercross Viper on a 172

    im gonna test the viper for renault in HK this summer, so i will tell you guys if ya wanna wait. But the hillpower one aint sealed so you only get the cold air at speed, you could seal it yourself with a little bit of fibreglass and a days work......

    <b>What are coilovers</b>

    oops, just my spelling, string aint even meant to be there and think after torsionbar is meant to be thin....oh well......im your regular dumbass...but teh lovable type "align=absmiddle>

    <b>What are coilovers</b>

    the real problem though it the rears....most of us will be experienceing heavy understreer in fast corners because the rear torsionbar is too think and doesnt provide string enought spring effect. Well, and teh rear is usually too low aswell. The secret is to load up the rear suspension as much...

    yoky A539’s tested.

    how long do yours last, since i was talking to a tyre guy and he said that they last not long, and are really soft, which i can believe. But i should be buying some yokohama A032Rs or A038s to use when its dry!

    yoky A539’s tested.

    what size and at what psi do you use? I usually run on 32 for when i want performance, and 28 when the bumps start getting to me.
