Raising a Trunk?
Hey all,
I’ve been reading, re-reading, and reading some more of Julian Edgar’s book on aero mods. In a couple different pages he mentions raising the height of the trunk lid on a car. I forget the specifics at the moment, but I believe it made for a gentler transition from the rear windshield down to the trunk on notchback-style cars, overruling the increase in wake size. I haven’t seen many people do this, but I have seen it put to great use on the GM/Chevy Volt. I’m planning aero mods for my 2006 Civic Coupe (FG2), which seems to have a separation bubble at the base of the trunk lid; bottom of the windshield. If figure this could be a good remedy.
Anybody try this? I’ve seen it mentioned in various threads but haven’t seen it done much.
