Does anyone have any photos behind the front bumper cover of the st185 cs rally cars? I am curious if they used any ducting behind there for air flow.

Thanks Gary. I would love to sit on your computer all day to grab your pics and bookmarks.

So it looks like they block it off. I was sort of considering running ducts from it to the radiator. I wonder if that would create turbulence. It might be better just to get the air from the front duct and to maybe use the side ducts for brakes.

Thanks gary. The 165 sort of hints what I am trying to figure out. I am in the process of trying to resolve my bumper steer/ rca and I was curious what the wrc cars did. Looks like the 165 lca switched to either a press or scree in style of ball joint. I am curious how much longer the shaft on the ball joint is to resolve these issues.
Currently there is no off the shelf extended ball joint that I know of for our cars. The 06+ civic has a similar style. I am going to compare dimensions to it since there is a stock of aftermarker extended ones for their cars. If that is not a solution I will likely have to commission something to be built.
