Don't be jealous, cause once he sells it off, and yours is back up and running, who's going to be the one missing out

Nah it's a non-name brand, just some generic one, but still really good quality and fits fine.

Interesting appendage.

Apart from creating draggggggggggg,whats its purpose?

Pay attention to some aerodynamics and you might learn how it decreases drag and increases the downforce that the rear wing can make.

At what speed do these aerodynamic devices show an improved performance over a standard model.

Hey Koomsie, wont this particular 'aero' part increase the drag coefficient, if by only increasing the effectiveness of the wing?

Probably depends on how much flow separation there is off the rear edge of the roof?

~160kph at a guess? Could get that driving at 90kph with a 70kph headwind.....

put in my new alloy radiator when slim line fans. Wired them in series so they both come on at the same time.

Also changed out those ugly red radiator hoses for some nice blue ones and put a flush and new fluid into it.

Looks to keep slightly cooler than previous and much more constant - no fluctuations.

Big thanks to greg0o0o0o for doing the wiring.

Also put my alloy bonnet on - its white.. :-X with my standard blue inserts, looks plain nasty but its off to be wide gaurded this week and have some new paint applied

Pics to come when it gets back

Widebodied ay???

[DacerX]

interesting....

read again.. i said wider gaurds.. its not being done for cosmetic, and it wont be nearly as wide as 22b style. I imagine it will be reasonably subtle.

Its functional so i can fit my slicks and semis under the gaurds, and maybe move my street tyres to a 8.5" rim in the future.

[DacerX]

wonder if i could do that with my BC5?

Anything that will fit under GC8 guards will fit under BC/BF before going to wider guards.

[DacerX]

just never seen a widebody BC5 before

to clarify mine are beeing rounded out, i imagine will be cut in places to allow the metal to "stretch" and then have small bits added, sanded, painted etc. They wont be "notchy" or square and jut out like 22b or GD gaurds.

A wide® body BC would be mean.

See PhatRS for an RS legacy that was massively wide bodied.

i know it would be mean im just trying to imagine it
