Full length underbody tray

I think it does f*ck all unless you're full racecar and the car is low as a low low thing, and you're driving on a race-track smooth surface. Otherwise the turbulence under the car is a joke anyway. I think for fuel economy you would spend more on making up a flat bottom than you would ever save in gas.

 

EDIT: This also completely throws out the window that Subaru spent a whole pissload of R&D on designing a bunch of aero for your car already; for example the gearbox tunnel creates a low-pressure area at the rear of the engine bay that is intended to draw air down through the intercooler and past the turbo; if you put a full under-car tray on this would probably become a high-pressure zone instead due to all the air coming in through the bonnet scoop having nowhere to go.

 

Amateur aero is more or less a complete waste of time on the road.

the idea is to have them lead to a defuser out the back, defuser needs smooth airflow to work correctly. Car needs to be low to make them work. better off getting a bigger lower front lip. not the stick on foam s*** though.

Or on rally cars stop the stones eating everything.

Lots of cars have them... I think they are there to keep road dirt and water out of the engine bay, rather than for any aero effect.

 

 

 

Not the full length of the car, though...

I thought he meant just the engine bay... not sure why... but yeah... for time attack type vehicles they are probably good, as long as you have a good aero guy :)

My Sw20 had it right up to the frunk firewall. Probably to compliment its high level drag coefficient? 

 

Shed built shoestring budget aero may work with no R&D, but usually just more bling?

      Afternoon team,
      im new to the group first time posting. Im hoping some body can help me get my launch control all dialled in on my link g4x. Ive had the computer and car all tuned from chris at prestige awesome knowlegable guy super happy with the results but now im wanting to get my launch/anti lag all dialled in. Ive been reading multiple different forums etc all with different conflicking information which has made me nervious with what do i listen to this or that if you get what i mean. Now ive started to make myself familiar with my PClink software etc the past few weeks and im eager to learn how to do minor setups or tweaks etc so im not relieing on my tuner so much and obviously saving myself abit hurt in the back pocket. 
      Now back to the question at hand.... Im wondering if theres and one who could please share there knowledge and wisdom with setting all my values, timing, fuel etc when i have launch control armed and engaged, or even a launch tune file they can possibly send me to load onto my tune. Ive figured out the setup of my digital inputs turning launch control on etc and its obvisously on its pre set factory settings. It engages but doesnt sound the greatest or as angry as it should i feel. Hence reaching out to you good buggers. 
       
      Cheers in advance for any info and help yous maybe able to give me.
       
      Cheers Shaun
