Look for a build quality that would pass tech inspection at a race track. I just got a good part for an airdam on my car. It's the 'towel rack' bumper overrider from the American spec 67-down Beetle front bumper (cut down), and it will hang upside-down under the later bumper with tabs on the bumper brackets. I've got steel sheet for the diverter.
My goal is to get Prius-like mpg, starting with a 0.40 Cd. But first it's off to the Woodburn Drag Strip for the NW Bugrun on Saturday. Oops, that's today. |
I have seen the carnage of the boat tails recently. Pretty saddening to see their hard work get destroyed.
I don't exactly like coroplast and duct tape either. But for my first boat tail build, I plan to use cardboard and duct tape to keep cost down and its ease of working with. If the results are worth pursuing, then I will go back with aluminum, fiberglass and paint and make it perty
Funny you bring up race tracks and drag strips. I have been wanting to get the ZX2 to the drag strip for quite some time! I think it will perform very well considering the Cd is much lower than stock. Good luck today if you are racing freebeard!
