ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

Beginner Forum Rules - EVERYBODY read! (old and new members alike!)

Beginners start here. Once you have 30 worthwhile posts (off topic doesn't count) you may post outside of the Beginner forums. Any "whoring" (posting simply to raise your post count) will return your count to 0, or result in a ban.

These are the rules. Read them. Live by them.

1) Absolutely NO flaming! "Flaming" is an outright attack on a member. ALL questions are encouraged to be asked here, no matter how basic. Members with over 30 posts will be subject to a ONE WEEK ban if caught flaming in this forum (and yes, moderators can read deleted posts). Members with under 30 posts will be subject to a ONE DAY ban.

2) Use appropriate language. Racial or sexual slurs will not be tolerated. A ban will be issued at the discretion of the cb7tuner.com staff.

3) No items may be sold in the Beginner forums. Any "for sale" threads will be deleted.

4) Temporarily banned members will be PERMANTLY banned if they are found posting on another account.

The rules can and will be added to. Any updates will be marked in the title.

The rules for the overall forum can be found here:

Read them. You will be expected to follow them.

                  Canards can't be properly implemented without the use of a wind tunnel. Period.

                  Creating drag is not the same as creating downforce.

                    ^^ trial and error is a good substitute for the wind tunnel.

                    the sportscarmotion civic experiments constantly by adjusting its aero after track uses.

                    I mean, I know it's meant for a function but a lot of people do things just for looks.

                      For looks, it doesn't matter. However, unless you have some way to measure direct results (lap times count) then you can't do it. It is as simple as that. Also, as the aerospace industry has already learned, the wind tunnel is much more effective than trial and error. Even the Wright brothers determined working components in a wind tunnel, that they had to design and build (because there weren't any) because they knew that it could take forever to stumble on the perfect solution. Unfortunately, even trial and error isn't very scientific.

                          I thought that was the whole point of science and experiments.

                          lol

                          Just joking, I understand what you state, you want something quantitative; track times would count but arent sure fire, but better than nothing.
