Playing with Lawn Edging
Well I had some time to kill today and I had the car up in the air trying to find out where the noise is coming from on the back end. Since I was not able to figure it out I decided to mess around and put a front skirt on it.

Will be sometime this week before I can do a real downhill coast test to see the improvement. I have a few more pictures of it here |
I hope your results are really good...

Nothing in aero seems cut & dry.
Have you noticed that the air dam on the latest gen Civic (which is quite aggressive - IE low) is higher in the center of the car? https://www.handa-accessories.com/civ...c-fullmask.jpg Makes me wonder why... - clearance issues? - aesthetics? - aero considerations? - some combination of the above? The aero issues may be similar to the front dam approach of the Opel Calibra: Great SAE Paper: The Aerodynamic Development of the Opel Calibra Quote:

I have noticed that too, on several different cars. Not sure if it is "the style" or if it is functional.
