Re: My New Air Dam Idea (Cobra)
I hate to burst everyone's bubble but that's NOT an airdam... It's the skirt for a Air Cushion Traction Reduction Device...
This is a recent trend in the Yemen import scene that I think is very intriguing. As we all know, the biggest hinderance to a fast ET is rolling resistance. If there were a way to reduce the rolling resistance of a tire without major power drain, it would prove an enormous boon to the drag racing community and ETs would drop like Whitney Houston's panties for a dime bag.
The idea here is similar to the what is used in hovercraft today with one important difference. There is NO power drain. In this case, the specially designed poultry grate in the front sucks in ram air and traps it inside the surrounding combination of cellulose-cellulose fiber and avian adhesive, thereby providing nearly a 50% reduction in normal force and can drop a full second off of ANY Honda product's ET!!

Right, as an airdam would dam the air.. You're so smart!!
I have a question, if I were to make the same thing and add (4) 12V computer fans behind the grill would it act like an afterburner thus helping me to reduce rolling resistance?
BTW, where did you get that space age composite board and metallic adhesive?
