thats interesting! plenty of air flow to the intercooler, thats for sure!

 

Whats also interesting is positive camber on the rear wheels - not seen that before!

Camber is set to 0 but the picture does look positive. Good spot Baz, I'll have a look at that.....

Is the inspiration taken from the Final Konnexion kit mate?

 

Inspiration is only for trying to get the max air flow to the intercooler and the most efficient shape.

Have you noticed a rise in engine coolant temperature?

 

Just thinking that with all the air flow route to the radiator being blocked off, the temps might rise.

 

Also, have you done any 1/4 mile runs with that bumper on? I bet it's causing alot more drag now that you've blocked off the air flow routes.

 

Just my 2p's worth

I've not finished yet, still need to smooth it down and get it sprayed. The standard bumper allowed less air through and i did not see a rise in temp. This one should be better as a lot more air can get through. I'm competing in the Brighton Speed Trials in September so will see if there is an improvement then. I believe that as there are less places for the air to flow through, it should be more efficient but we'll have to wait and see!:blush:

Well done for all the work you have put into it. I would tho of considered maybe putting some openings at either side to help improve the flow of cooling air that aids in helping keep the brakes cooler.

Well I continued with the bumper and have finally got it painted and fitted to day! I'm really happy with it and the airflow to the intercooler is as good as it can be.:clap:

You've done a cracking job mate. Hope all the effort pays off for you :thumbup1:

Woah

Sorry but :hurl::hurl:

 

Can't see it helping your aerodynamics or your pursuit of speed!
