Re: BlueScooby's 06 STI - A little CFD Analysis on the car 
Try not to work very hard.

unfortunately they don't fold in and out just yet... I've got to run a pair of wires through each door to the new switch first. I will be trying to tackle that next.Do a video on those mirrors so we can drool.
The plan is to leave them that large if it doesn't create an issue. I actually used the V2 strakes/end-fences as the template to cut these out, so its fairly likely that I will be able to keep these the size they are now (which is good). Naturally you want your strakes/end-fences to go down as far as possible to actually separate airflows, so I try to keep the trimming to a minimum where possible. I’m planning to finish mounting/hanging the diffuser this weekend, and the first thing I will be testing is ground clearance out of my driveway. :tup:Dude, nice work. Very cool. Are you going to leave the strakes that size or trim them down a bit?
Thanks man! I definitely have more to learn, although my biggest obstacle is getting a model that actually resembles my car. I basically used a single profile extrusion previously since that was the main thing I was interested in, but it would be great to get a pretty realistic model...Lovin this man. If you need help with CFD let me know. Can't guarantee I'll know the answer but I have an ME degree and have worked with fluid flow for years now designing hydroelectric turbines.
Funny you say that. I am 98% sure that I have a full 3d rendering of an STI. I'll have to double-check when I get homeThanks man!
