Really tho, hopefully the pics don't do it justice, and it looks WaY better in person, 'cause that thing harkens to a cattle catcher in those pics...

Just kidding. I like it and don't think it sticks out to far. If it didn't stick out a little it wouldn't be functional. I'm sure Kaminari did extensive windtunnel testing, right? You know, at that one down off Kietzke...

100_Percent_Juice · 2007-03-05, 08:30 AM

Oh all you lip haters, its been wind tested up to 135 and it does stick out a little bit but if you were to put a ruler on the front bumper its only like an inch. The lines make it look longer in that picture.

If they windtunnel tested it I am impressed. I bet many, if not most body parts and kits are not. Like that dude with the hood vent thingie...

Kaminari has been around forever. Their 280Z "Kaminari Kit" was the shit back in '82.

Oh, and btw I did tie yarn to the hood vent mesh and wind test it to well over 135mph.

^yarn hahahah

How much downforce does it provide at 135?

Bob Danger · 2007-03-05, 11:05 AM

I'd like to see how it stands up against a cone.

I hope that "wind testing" wasn't you out on 395.

It was parked outside on a windy day.

Be careful... Mike's mom is the Aussie equivalent of a RedNeck... Imagine a trailer park, but instead of a Chevy on blocks and a pit bull chained up to it... it's a Holden and a crock.

Whatever you do, don't ask her if she's a member of a New Zealand rugby team.

sybir · 2007-03-05, 02:05 PM

Or offer her a Foster's.

The wheels help a lot. Sweet. Do you have any non-weird photos? Without the lense on them? I'd like to compare.

100_Percent_Juice · 2007-03-08, 11:19 PM

Yes the wheels make a 100% difference. Here is the normal first picture.

MattR · 2007-03-09, 07:48 AM

Oh, I thought you really swapped all those wheels onto the car...ok.

100_Percent_Juice · 2007-03-09, 08:07 AM

...no im just that good.

JonnydaJibba · 2007-03-09, 08:08 AM
