Madarmour Neutral Newbie March 2, 2004 Share March 2, 2004 Quote yes, like you have pointed out, for normal showroom cars which we are driving, the plate will never be able to create the negative pressure to keep the cars stick to the ground as in F1 cars, the only advantage is to reduce drags on the under-carriage, which is what i am talking about..... 'no fish, shrimps also can lah'...... But is the improvement worth the weight disadvantage? And how about the problem of engine overheating due to lack of circulation once you cover up the bottom of the car? You also have a problem when you service your car. If you are thinking of patchwork, the returns will be even less. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

And... u know below your engine there are several plastic panel guards rite?... maybe we can make them redundant and use their bolt-on points for this new alum shield cum AIR SCOOP??? instead of airscoop on the bonnet... this alum shield scoops air from the bottom and cools the engine bay from front bottom to backwards!!! eh... lets work on this project leh... ai mai???

Madarmour Neutral Newbie March 2, 2004 Share March 2, 2004 more important consideration: will my car ever reach the kind of speeds which make such aerodynamic gadget effective??.... That's right.

Madarmour Neutral Newbie March 2, 2004 Share March 2, 2004 btw, you interested to fix the same to your car?? Nope. BTW, I actually spoke to Gavin about a similar project sometime back. You can get aluminium sheets at Jalan Besar, just next to the Eminent Plaza hawker centre. ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
