    EXTERNAL AERODYNAMICS

    Serious aero on my buddie's Viper. Notice the side skirt treatment. Full flat belly pan as well.

    EXTERNAL AERODYNAMICS

    ...are on the subject, here is an experiment I intend to conduct. I have already built diffuser tunnels between the frame and rocker panels/side skirts. Air is fed to them via the front fender splash panel behind the tire and barge boards along the frame. I built CF plugs for my headlights...

    EXTERNAL AERODYNAMICS

    ...and there are barge boards that direct the airflow from the diffuser tunnels into the side pod diffusers between the frame rails and the side skirts. A front radiator diffuser duct is formed by the CF panels at the sides of the brake ducts and an upper curved panel. The center bar and wing...

    I'm definitely interested in your results. (y)

    ...4" brake cooling ducts on either side of the radiator. Finished the front undertray with 4 diffuser tunnels and provisions for any splitter extension made for a Viper ACR to be bolted to the leading edge of the undertray. Working the side skirts and the outboard diffuser tunnels. More to...

    EXTERNAL AERODYNAMICS

    Jim, thanks for pulling these together for review. I'd forgotten about many of them. The yellow '73 (IIRC) with the wool tufts is a test that I'm trying to do to my car this summer, and focusing on the side skirt area. Years ago I removed the stock under-door panels (I can't remember the...

    Internal Body Aerodynamics

    Wow, looking at the cost of carbon fiber splitters, side skirts, and wings, this seems to be a skill to develop. 3d printing saved this guy a lot of time.

    Internal Body Aerodynamics

    Wings would be the most difficult, side skirts and splitters are a lot less complicated. Second hand apr gtc 200 and 300 wings go used for about 50% of new (or even less).

    Internal Body Aerodynamics

    I think the cost of materials (CF, Epoxy, etc.) is pretty expensive right?

    Internal Body Aerodynamics

    ...for $800. So, unless you want something special it probably isn’t a good idea. There has been a second one for $1200 for months. Side skirts in CF for a C8 are pretty pricey, so something like that would probably be worth the effort. Plus, tolerances aren’t an issue. I’d really like to...

    Old Project Revitalized - 56 Track Car

    Reference the questions above. I will weight the wheels more accurately, but it looks like almost 23# for the 13X18 and 21+# for the 12X18. I currently have Michelin slicks - 30/65 front and 31/71 rear. That is about the same as 335f/345r. Here are some really early mock-up photos for you...

    ...through side vents (rather than out of the engine compartment or front bay) for aero. Even the new NASCAR Cup car uses the front of the side skirts to turn inward behind the front tire (forming barge boards) to direct airflow outboard of the skirts - I presume to form an air curtain ahead of...

    Internal Body Aerodynamics

    No joy on TinEye... Who's posting? Some interesting aspects there. But, a "helper mirror?" Also PAX Side louvers look "Off." Oh - found it! It is a "Rocket Bunny" one-off kit. (But listed on renderings pages- hmmm)...

    ...order" kit and is $3150. No idea of quality - just looking (and curious too). Just guessing - but at that price bet it is fenders, side skirts, lower bumper - and maybe the wing? Front fender flares are more a "traditional look " and not the SpeedHunter versions on the "Bunny." The rears...

    Project Elvira – Intro and Update

    I am well overdue on an update. I will try and keep it “organized.” Elvira – most germane to the forum My Sports Racer Other vehicles ELVIRA: Here are the panel diagrams I made to help focus my fiberglass efforts: Of these, A through F are completed. Front wheel openings are made...

    Internal Body Aerodynamics

    I think the concept is pretty good. One of the better looking c4’s I’ve seen. Probably the biggest aero benefit is it covers extra wide wheels.

    Internal Body Aerodynamics

    I like that, looks retro and modern at the same time. Stock C4's are pretty tired looking these days. Is that a concept or an actual car?
