Oh I have some things I'm doing right now. One of them is my now empty headlight holes as a burrow for some bumper ducts. But I cant help but wonder if the air is impacted into that cavity.
The front bumpers nice point and smooth transition rearward I figure there is a possibility that the air is directed right over the headlight recess. (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Would anybody know if this is a good place to grab air? Plan B... turn signal holes enlarged,I know there the air would be forced good but prefer the headlight. Anybody know if? tia Tony |

Well the brake ducts were on the air dam (dam soon gone) . My PS cooler is presently in the same location you have hers. The oil cooler in planning. My fog light holes are going to be one big hole for a front breather application.
My intention was to have the ps and oil coolers just behind the turn signal holes closer to the body and behind the bumper tubing support. with NACA ducts and hosing to a handmade shroud of sorts that fits over the cooler. This intention splinters from concerns and problems of others having the oil and ps cooler in the front breathers air path to the radiator causing somewhat less performance. So I want to get them to either side of the radiator air intake. Yes if the headlight holes arent good for scooping air I was going to get some of those covers and seal them on. And if thats the case I suppose I will have to decide to put 2 ducts per side in the turn signal locs. as a remedy. QUOTE They really seem tempting, but I think that they ruin the aero. Yeah I think so too I just need some varification on it because I don't know jack about aero either just common sence tells me that they may possibly not be the best loc.. Seems like because of the shape of the front. The air would probabely zoom right over that area...well most of the air (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/unsure.gif) Thanks for your time Jason "checks in the mail" (IMG:http://www.frrax.com/rrforum/style_emoticons/default/cool.gif) Tony |
