Agree aero at most speeds is aero.

I started to get into the aero tuning last year. I picked up a Street Concepts CF lip from another track friend who was getting out of an Evo.


Hills/inclines are a PITA. Just remember its there.

Added the VG and made my own wickerbill:


Those are "budget" mods in my book. The rear diffusior and getting the underside of the car smoother would also help with aero.

Ah, I think I need an aerospace degree for that project. Some really nice garage work there!

Don't forget the buschur front and rear undertrays. I haven't ordered mine yet, but I'm definitely hoping to before winter!

Nice! That's right up my alley.

I built this thing out of aluminum last year for the Sonics to run in the Red Bull Soap Box Race in Seattle.
