MM77 Posted December 10, 2009 Report Posted December 10, 2009 How do I get my bonnet like this? (Pic shamelessly "borrowed" from another forum) I presume its just a few spacers, is that right?

Daggle Posted December 11, 2009 Report Posted December 11, 2009 Copied from the sales blurb on the Subaru Impreza Ebay item... BUY FITTING THIS KIT IT ALLOWS WARM AIR TO FLOW OUTFROM UNDER YOUR BONNET KEEPING THE AMBIENT UNDER BONNET TEMPERATURE DOWN TO A MINIMUM THEN IT ALLOWS THE WARM AIR TO PASS OVER YOUR SUBARU'S ROOF MAKING THE CAR MORE STREAM LINE. MAKING YOUR CAR PERFORM BETTER AND ALLOWING YOUR CAR ACCELERATE QUICKER. I dunno, some people will tell you anything, just to get a sale? It's not exactly F1 we are talking about....
Admin Mk2Jo Posted December 11, 2009 Admin Report Posted December 11, 2009 Perhaps Mushy wants them for HIS Subaru and he just doesn't want to tell us

Andrade Posted December 11, 2009 Report Posted December 11, 2009 the anglia's hood opens from the back, so you just have to pull a leaver and brake hard

Why didnt subaru think of that when designing the car LOL seriously... dont do it haha
Retromotorsport Posted December 12, 2009 Report Posted December 12, 2009 Why didnt subaru think of that when designing the car LOL seriously... dont do it haha Because the had a wind tunnel, and like every manufacturer going they know that the area below the screen is a high pressure area, hence all heater units get their air from there, raising the rear of the bonnet will allow air to escape when stationary (the fan pulling air in, and heat rises so escapes out the top/gap), but as soon as you start moving the high pressure stops any air comming out. Same as lourves, the upper surface of all bonnets has whats called the 'Boundary layer' which is an area close to the bodyshell which has no air movement, most noticible on bonnets when its rained.. you drive away, and the water stays on the bonnet till you brake, then it falls off the front edge. This can also show on some cars how much return airflow there is from the screen, you can watch the water droplets acctually creep down the bonnet toward the front as your speed increases. Ever noticed those little sprays of rain water come up from the front edge as your drive along?
