Hey Guys,
Does anyone have an opinion on adding louvers or opening the front fender like this MR2? How about removing the rear bumper? I bet the chump rules wouldn't mine, I wonder about race organizations? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) Attached thumbnail(s)

Hey George,
I noticed at chump that there was more then one car with opening on the rear portion of there front fenders. Thought there may be something to it. I just happened to pull a picture of Bills MR2. He didn't do so well last race, I never seen him on the track. He broke early, we lasted all day. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) All I every worked on with my car was reliability and safety. Thought some aero improvements would be smart. I'll worry about that after I get my engine back in. Thanks for the compliment about my car. We going to get after it again this year.

Unless you're dumping extra air into your fender wells (e.g. if you exhaust oil cooler air there), you are unlikely to notice any difference at all from adding louvers to your front fenders. Especially if you're not significantly exceeding 100 mph.
Go ahead and take off the back bumper if you're allowed to. And you can ventilate the rear sheet metal too, or just cut it away as much as rules allow. It will let out hot air and may help cooling in addition to whatever aero gains you might get. And drop a little weight too. Scott |
