Would removing the front valance increase air flow to the oil cooler? Mine is this style.

I belive the flaps create a vacuum wich sucks air down from the eng lid, throught the eng compartment out the bottom and exits out the rear.
So if the air flow under the car is disturbed or blocked off it dose not have any way of creating the vacuum that is needed for this design, and because the underside of most cars are not streamline in any way it creates a drag hince the need for a lower car and why the air is blocked off and diverted around wich also creates a sucking to the road I hope this makes sense and if you realy want that air deverted around the car instead of all the noisy air under the car you need a new cooling set up! |
