[QUOTE="xtremeleo, post: 4484159, member: 18941"] its a good observation sir, higher airflow creates less pressure in the path it goes through, simply taken from bernoulli's principle, googlee it up if u have the time. so, if u smoothen the airflow beneath the car, it creates a low pressure area underneath the car. this pressure is comparatively much2 lower then the pressure exerted on top of the car, and dis difference in pressure pushes the car downward for dat extra grip. dat mr2 put an aluminum foil underneath for the same reason, to decrease the value of 1. drag; produces by airflow going through rough edges / surfaces underneath there 2. produces a downward suction by what ive explained above. the best about dis mod is, it doesnt create the drag like what a spoiler will. u can even use the flow to help straighten the car by introducing a series of.. sirip (?) underneath there, its like the rudder in boats, but again, dis will only work up to speed, and again, it doesnt produce much drag like again, the spoiler or a GT wing wud. the ground effect wud be further enhanced if the vehicle is lowered, but not too much as u need sufficient airflow to flow underneath the car for this to take effect. at least, that is what i understand on the subject matter[COLOR="Silver"] [SIZE=1]---------- Post added at 09:54 AM ---------- 6 hour anti-bump limit - Previous post was at 09:40 AM ----------[/SIZE] [/COLOR] a front diffuser, hmm.. i think i remember beieng told about it by a supra owner dat a UK spec supra is equipped with this tech; the active spoiler will only be deployed at a certain speed, to decrease the value of drag at low speed. the thing with a FWD is, when u accelerate, most torque is channeled through the chasis to the rear end of the vehicle, so the front tyre will indeed lose much traction, compared to a RWD vehicle. a spoiler / GT wing in a FWD can be benificial when achieving certain speed, especially when the rear part is much lighter then the frontal part. at this threshold speed, depending to the suspension setup, the car may experience noticeable bounce, which may elevate u from the ground and render u outta control of the vehicle. the downforce during dis time helps in keeping the car planted, but if the value is appreciable. at this particular moment, the downforce seems to be more important; to keep the car planted on the ground for safety reasons, then the extra friction u mentioned. its a good topic sir, tq [/QUOTE]
