That's actually true, but you were being a sarcastic ass, weren't you?

Actually, I wasn't trying to be sarcastic. asu usually posts good info - I meant no disrespect to him. I've been working a lot as was up at 3AM, so...

Adding any air under the car isn't good period. That doesn't mean you will be flying to the moon if you do stupid things like not using backing plates. But having a boxy car means that little things like this are more importaint. Just like you mentioned the splitter and needing a large rear wing. Little things like canards, on the track can take seconds off laps! Again, a sedan won't ever see downforce but you should do all you can to reduce lift.

In short...This setup is just going to limit the potential of your car under most circumstances. Although it could aid in the destruction of your car, you and/or others in unforeseen events.

He's not really adding air he's re directing it...

The way he's done it isn't the "Hot Setup" like we do with ducting to a rotor core cooling plate... but it's no worse than the original ducting.

You're a fucking tool.

hows that? Cause I know what I'm talking about and you are some 14yr old that looks at his daddy's cars in the driveway? If you don't know what you are talking about then you shouldn't be posting or calling other ppl out. Come back in a few years buddy...

and not to get too hard on you but learn how to speak english. I know its not proper to correct in red because its a "mean" color, but hell I'm not a teacher.

the e30 coupe IS a sedan

I'm not sure you know much about cars. A sedan is a vehicle w/ an A, B, and C pillar. It has nothing to do w/ how many doors there are...

And I use the term sedan lightly, more just a production car. Not either a proto or f1, etc. An f1 car has roughly a 2:1 downforce to weight ratio. Try and drive your production car belly up in a tunnel. You won't ever even get close to a 1:1 ratio in a "sedan"/production car.

and personally I think you are a dumbass but why should you care?

Your a fucking tool.

[asubimmer]

I dont see why you say the sedan is so much less aerodynamic than the coupe. Please back up your claims.

Personally I think you are talking straight out of your ass.

Also, better counter that splitter with a nice wing out back or your gonna get that mean oversteer...

That's actually true, but you were being a sarcastic ass, weren't you?

refer to post 39 please

oops look I posted again.

If you weren't posting up things that were counter productive to a track car, then I wouldn't be posting in here other than to say great job.

Two 3" diameter ducts are not going to adversely effect stability. It's an E30, a flying brick, if you will, not a ground-effects car ;)

[hootie]

Hahah retarded argument. Dude you should take those out the e30 might fly into the air. ZOMG. Looks good. Keep up that work.

From what the crazy gnomes tell me, there's also a bunch of high-pressure air in the engine compartment that doesn't flow through too well unless you vent the back of the hood to let it escape up. Confirm/deny?

Yes... But if you vent it out of the top (like with hood vents) you have to do some sealing off of the belly pan or it may actually suck air in.

good excuse :roll:

Thank you for voicing you opinion about my cheap brake ducts, but will you please stop posting in my thread. Thanks
