[Pee Dubbaya]

Okay...gotcha.

I usually run down the NW mway but could be keen. What part of the shore you in?

[dangermouse]

[cammmy]

Is anyone going to the one on the 26th? I will be keen for that.

[you wont get parts for it mate]

that makes me laugh rice spec 205nessssss. aero dynamics.......who needs that! lolz.

[Carpentry]

Headlight thing = ban

Also, it might have been more aerodynamic to take your mudflaps off

[Murdoch]

^^ OM NOM NOM NOM!

[you wont get parts for it mate]

 but all its doing is throwing air into your engine bay....where theres nowhere for it to go efficiently.... cars are designed there ways for a reason. but what do i know. i dont own a race car..........

[mi309]

has anyone one put their car on the dyno to prove this? dosent it cause less downforce with the headlight missing?

[you wont get parts for it mate]

air going into a huge box. how can it be faster?

i would think any benefit of having no light would only show at speed, as this would mean cold/more air is hopefully getting to the filter. thats not gonna show on a dyno, is it ?

[zephyrheaven]

i love how people instantly start talking dyno's lol, like they are the bee all and end all of any tuning.

guy i know just poured $50K into a C spec WRX for a customer of his, small dyno day and the rest spent at Ruapuna setting it all up PROPERLY in REAL WORLD conditions

Yes - the customer hired the track for a few days - ouchie

id say it makes jack all differerance to aerodynamics so much so you would notice any differance either way as were to going 300millionty km/h. its just to get cooler air to the intake as your car runs blody hot on the track (go figure) so cooler air into the engine can help with combustion chamber temps etc. this is also y i looped the coolent lines and blocked the breather hoses that normaly go to the throttle body to help keep temps down not for performance (credit to baz for that one) and it wnt improve performance/hp rating on a dyno especialy as its the pistons pulling the air in not the atmosphere/wind pushing it in.

all much of a muchness but it takes 5 seconds to wip the headlamp ouyt so y not
