Need Advice on Downforce
One idea is to not do 100+ on the streets but yea a good bodykit will deff make a difference along with the hood. I've always wondered too if diffusers really help any. Something I'm going to have to check into.
wow.... rarely does any body kit company actually pay the money to flow test any of thier stuff. so in this sense you better have deep pockets for a good kit that is flow tested. other than that i would recommend maybe a lip for more drag which inturn may slow you down a little bit but help to smooth the turbulent air flow with a good supported bumper. and the hood thing would be good too.
the little bump before the vent helps very little as well and directs the flow of the air upwards which creates a vacuum like flow for the hot air. so like skunk2racing97 and the 2nrwerks guy said the hood may help a lil too but g/l! and i am no pro at aerodynamics but this would be my theories on the subject.
where are the radiators in NSXs?
i always thought they were in the front, and therefore, those "hood" vents are not for downfore, but rather for hot air leaving the radiator. it actually uses the venturi effect to draw the hot air out of that vent and pull it up over the car and away from the radiator.

lol @ the big wing on the nsx.
Get some good susupension, and stop doing 110 mph on i4.

There are times where you need to do 110+ (like on the highway entrance ramp). You guys know what I talking about.. it seem like everyone enters the highway and immediately switches to the fast lane doing 100+.
As for downforce, I think everyone has mention that you need to do. I know what you mean tho. When I'm on the slow lane going 70 and a semi truck goes by the car feels loose. I think some of it is just the light weightness of your car.

Believe it or not get a carbon fiber hood that has vent cutouts with a lip in front of them. This acts like a wing on an airplane creating a high & low pressure for downforce. Honda spent 100's of hours in the wind tunnel with the NSX-R and developed a hood that drawls the car to the ground.
See here: .:::WELCOME TO 2NRWERKS:::.
And here look at the bottom for "Stealth Hoods" for the lip around the vent. This creates the high & low pressures needed for downforce: .:::WELCOME TO 2NRWERKS:::.
These are proven to create downforce @ 90mph, then again on the NSX under the front hood has nothing so airflow is not interupted.

yeah air is not going to move that freely through his engine bay... becuase it is just that... a housing for a motor... something that the NSX does not have up front... not only is the air going to move very differently, but he will also NOT be able to have suck an air recess like those hoods because it would hit his motor...
thanks for the replies
