Interesting Aero Data

I have some interesting first hand aero data on a lowered MKIV Golf that may be of use to someone here (maybe even me).

!!Please do not ask for the source of the data, I do realize that here is not the place for such things, but data is Data!!


At ~ 110 MPH the windshield washers begin spraying a noticeable amount of fluid on to the windshield, and by 125 MPH the flow is up to approximately 1/2 of what the pump outputs.

I am not sure if this is due to a low pressure at the base of the windshield, or high pressure at the tank, or a combination of the 2.

Any Ideas? Thoughts?
