dazla Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 hi i recently went to the last mascrat manor meet in Warrington. There was a chap who i wish i had spoken to. He had a silver supra and on his rear side windows he had some black wind sort of vents that fit onto the window. I have never seen these before were can any get them. they would look superb on mine:search: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pixelfill Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 it was Jase93tt's car mate Don't know anyone that does them in the UK - he has a mate in Japan, and I can't remember whether he said they were on the car when he got it, or whether he got them from his friend.

toyotatom Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 there is a guy with a black car with stupid ducts on the side, like massive air scoops That'll be me then. Although obviously not your cup of tea, "stupid" is a bit harsh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jamesmark Posted September 28, 2006 Share Posted September 28, 2006 That'll be me then. Although obviously not your cup of tea, "stupid" is a bit harsh. Awful maybe, but like you said mate not everyones cup of tea, remind me of the rear window vents on a Capri/Cortina Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lockys96 Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 perhaps. but air forcing into the rear 1/4 windows? floats ure boat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daston Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Now I am no techie but surly putting big pods like that on the side of the car will increase the drag and infact lower the speed. There was one of these on a supra I saw years ago and for ages I thought they were mid engine because of them and the rear wheel brake vents.

toyotatom Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 I think most aplications are just for 'show' rather than actually doing anything. Exactly. They are only 'dummy' vents. Behind the mesh is a piece of black acrylic so no air actually goes into the pod and is stuck there if you see what I mean. Some ideas work (looks wise) and some dont. To be totally honest from some angles I dont like them, but Im fairly proud that I made them from scratch and they fit like a big brand might have made them. In the search for individuality you take some risks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toyotatom Posted September 29, 2006 Share Posted September 29, 2006 Who knows. On the subject of drag, we buy all these different bodykits, are any of them actually tested for stuff like this I wonder Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
