To all of you guys with MX-3s I'm sure I'm not the only one here that that would love to see a tuft test on your car !

Even a simple tuft test of the back window would be appreciated. You could just tape a few tufts to the back glass, and have your cell phone take some video from the back seat.

Even better of course would be a full body test - especially at the rear of the car.

This is easily done by having a chase vehicle with someone else taking video or still pictures of your car as they pass you. If you have no one else willing to help out, you can perform a single person test like the one in the video below.

( For those new to the forum and not familiar with tuft testing, it is the 'poor mans wind-tunnel' type of test using strips of short 3" strips of yarn which you tape to your car. As the wind flows around the vehicle. the yarn 'tufts' show what the air is doing in that area of the vehicle . )
