Sunny,
I was just trying to explain you that no one was joking about this argument...
I suspected you didn't understand when we were talking about "wool", but this was not a joke, but a serious thing:

BAUMWOLLE

What I said it's that the "old" wool method worked for me to understand where I'm getting pressure/vacuum in the car...

woohoo,

my oil cooler idea should work. I want to lay it flat on the undertray with some ducts like your wireframe for the exhaust outlet from it


Interesting fact, in NHRA racing the vertical exhaust stacks geneate something like 200N of downforce on full chat :shock:

So the cooler is mounted in the horizontal plane???

Will the 'through draft' be sufficient, or will you need to use some sort of conformal ducting to blow air over the coolers - NACA ducts etc?

On a side-note, and I LOVE that you're going at this down the proper route of CFD (and you've inspired me to crack out NX and have a play!) what are the implications of undertrays with the MOT. As far as I'm aware, the MOT are not allowed to remove anything to test/visually inspect. If you cover the bay area/any suspension/brake/fuel pipework, can they refuse to test or do they just bypass that check?

Hey,

That software looks incredible. I've always wondered how functional the 185 spoiler is.

How time consuming is it to throw the tail end of a 185 into that program and see how it performs?

Cheers
