if you notice my vents are not normal not much is tbh.

I expect more air to be flowing into my engine bay than any normal car. I have no bumper as such, because even if I did remove what I have left there would be front panel. So with the vents and front end I should hope air would flow through then up as heat rises (and there is a lot)

as for lift I have as good as ford intended with an optional extra RS splitter. but lets face it I have a brick! What would you rather have, a car that is reliable with lift, or something that will overheat and blow up.




Just passing on what Iv read really. Googling it will bring up a fair few opinions on it. I don't know the car though to be honest. I think it's just a common part of any car aerodynamics that air doesn't get sucked out from the scuttle area at speed. When you park up though it will let the hot air out. I don't full understand why it causes front end lift but I can try and find the articles I read.
