My aerodynamic test resources cost very little.

But to be fair, my aerodynamics reference materials cost more (spread over 25 years) and my home workshop cost a lot (spread over 35 years).

But what you are describing shouldn't cost much.

All car modification has costs, so I figure if you're broke it's not a good hobby to want to pursue! These days, I spend $1000 a year on modifying my Insight. Bought the new lower ratios gearbox about a year ago, and just last week bought the clutch and gearbox rebuild kits. So that's the thousand for this year.

I wondered about the yellow arrow as well. It appears to be a normal, but I suspect you intended a resultant vector.
Not sure what you are describing.

Are you assuming Ecomodder is always and only about templates? Maybe you should get out more.
My comments relate only to the aero sub forum. I don't read anything else on the site.
