Compaddict, I never understood why this setup of flairs had not been done before in CSP or DP... Well done! 15x11 and 275s?

Made a few changes: Still 1/2" marine birch, coated w thin epoxy then outdoor furniture paint. Extended to 3 15/16" reduced routed thickness at rear mount and shimmed down 1/4" at front mount to lower nose, added 3" NACA brake ducts to try out, end plates just inspire discussion and to torment CFD aero guys.

Hi Guys,

Been a while thats for sure,
This Aero thread is no doubt one of the best from any platform of cars so im back.. bit of a strange one / pretty frustrating.
Drag racing..... Now when i say no prep i mean Nothing, no rubber no sticky no nothing,

Im RX7 now though not MX5 anymore but similar shape.

I been to the strip and really struggled with traction, spun right the way up to 1000ft.
soo some aero. Im considering one of them agressive duck tail spoilers.. Top speed dosnt matter, that can come later on in time.

whats peoples thoughts on this..

Currently i dont really have any aero. Heres some vids of the car:
