just get one of the bumpers that already have the air horns... it doesn't get any better than that. but if you don't want to you can check

What about using a NACA duct that mounts into the front undertray, pulling air up from underneath the car? I'd say 99% of the Evos out there have that stock piece still in place.

 

from wikipedia

Prior submerged inlet experiments showed poor pressure recovery due to the slow-moving boundary layer entering the intake. This design is believed to work because the combination of the gentle ramp angle and the curvature profile of the walls creates counter-rotating vortices which deflect the boundary layer away from the intake and draws in the faster moving air, while avoiding the form drag and flow separation that can occur with protruding inlet designs. This type of flush inlet generally cannot achieve the larger ram pressures and flow volumes of an external design

another good site for aero in general

 

so whats the status on these kits?

 

The kits are at the top of the development list at Forge UK.

We received minutes from the development meeting held there back last week or so and this project is the number 1 priority.

Hopefully I'll have the prototypes in hand soon!

 

good. i can't wait for these to come out. group buy? introductory pricing?

 

Possibly. Nothing set up as of yet.

Not even sure on regular pricing yet, but it will be very reasonable, or so I've been told by our fabrication director!

 

awesome. just keep us updated... and if you start a new thread for the official release, make sure you throw a link for it up here...

 

JTB -- Have you run the Targa Newfoundland before? I've done it three years running. I think the Caterham would be a pretty miserable car to do it in if it rains. ;-)

 

We are shipping the protoypes today , should be in the US office by Monday

 

Dibs!

Pics? Price?

 

Was hoping to do it this year but couldn't afford to make the necessary changes as well as do the Targa. To be prepared for next year all that has to be done is to add a windshield

I agree the 7 could be miserable if it rains the whole time but I think it would be so much fun in some of the tighter stages

 

I just got the prototypes in.

I'll post pictures a little later on in a new thread. I'll provide a link here for everyone to find it.

The units need a little bit of modification and tweaking before being ready for production, but we're doing that today and sending the units back to the UK.

Again, stay tuned for another thread!

 

AWESOME!!! can't wait. keep us updated.

 

Sorry for the Dumb Question (please don't flame): Why are prototypes being done in UK and not here? That part is not exactly a rocket scientist type of part so could the prototype not be done "at a shop next door" where the iterative modification and testing would be less of a chore compared to shipping overseas? Alternatively, if prototypes are being done in UK, why not test it there locally until part fits correctly? They got EVOs there as well.... just curious more than anything else....

Where will the production parts be made for US market? US or UK?

Thanks.
