    Default This is why you dont buy knockoff bodykits.

    From Kultivate.worpress.com & Dropjay.Wordpress.com

    Here is proof that Time Attack is no joke but a matter of perfect design and awesome engineering. I just love this, and want to say to everybody this is why you can’t buy knockoffs. This is the real deal and this is why it’s expensive. But maybe even more important this is also why these aero parts work.

    ASM had access to the wind tunnel at the Mie university in Japan and they tested their aero parts on their record breaking Time Attack S2000.

    Pretty cool but I was kind of hoping to see the underbody effects. Did they do any tests for underbody lift?

    That's right, much smoother transfer from A pillar to backside.

    Im sure they can, it's just these pics only look worthy to post on a blog if you can see the airflow.

    You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to EJ25RUN again.

    This makes me sooo mad for some reason. Their method of testing is like apples to oranges. They should have had multiple s2000s, but if they did I bet the results wouldn't have been as skewed.

    They didn't compare these 3 against each other.

    It was each tuning house bringing its car for individual testing.

    I wonder how much that underbody helps on the S. I remember a while back Lexus bragging about its underbody divots (like on a golf ball) that was on one of their cars. I wonder if that could be better than flat? better at speed or sound? I dunno, anybody remember what Im talking about?
