airflow from the bottom is important.

If you cover up all that open space below the motor and radiator, it traps a tremendous amount of heat.

That little flap on the bottom of your car that scrapes on everything does a very important job.

make a metal diffuser andy with a grill that extends downward in place of that gurney flap. then you can replicate and make some dinero.

**** didnt see that rebel link earlier. there **** looks like crap tho...

the evos underpanel for reference so you can see what i mean by the vents.

yes...its in and running somewhat strong...still running on the old tune...i need an update...not only that....car is still burning oil...but not as bad as before

im fixing a lil bit at a time...and i really dont have the time to tear the engine down right now and fix this oil consumption issue...so i just keep topping it off when ever it needs it...which is about a quart every week or so...or no quart at all until the next week...its weird...sometimes ill go 2 weeks and its always full...once i get my new job ill have plenty of spare time on the weekends to do watever i want not only that alot more cash...so maybe ill just drop in a whole new engine and call it good...but give it time
