trapped airflow equals drag.

honda guys been doing that since the 90's.

brndck 08-17-2011 12:00 AM

on a street car? no point. just rice points.
on an actual drag car it allows trapped air to flow through the rear bumper.

rat240 08-17-2011 12:04 AM

why not just run no bumper

azndoc 08-17-2011 12:04 AM

Or just run no rear bumper and problem solved.

Mikey213 08-17-2011 01:54 AM

It's for his rear mount turbo. Creates suction from rear and generates a nice vortex to help it give more OOMPH!

Mikey213 08-17-2011 01:55 AM

It was a white EG i bet huh! I've seen it a couple of times on the 101 cutting people ahahaha

HyperTek 08-17-2011 04:41 AM

i wonder if other honda people see that and go "ahhh fuck he's serious!" ? lol

My buddy added 2 mph to his trap speed by doing this. I know it doesn't make since to us but it is functional on their cars.

blueshark123 08-17-2011 07:11 AM

I dont see the point of it. Shit i rather make a under panel if thats the case but 99.9% of people who do this are dumbass ricers

Brian 08-18-2011 08:15 PM

People have to get places REAL quick in SoCal!

Agreed. Here in PA theres so much rice and hondas that do that. And they arent even clean hondas around here, only a select few are actually clean..

Better gas mileage. A rear bumper really is a drag-chute on modern cars.

SochBAT 08-22-2011 10:48 PM

full undercarriage diffuser. ULTIMATE GAS SAVINGS!

BustedS13 08-22-2011 11:03 PM

have you seen what 240sx owners do to their cars? we keep the glitter vinyl companies in business.
in 2011, 240sx owners are worse people than Honda owners. prove me wrong.

So glitter is not so bad:hey: I see a lot honda guy put fake carbon fiber vent holes on there ride

ca18_luv 09-02-2011 07:18 PM

each hole is a victory mark for each race they won. the more holes the more badass of a racer. also tends to help with reducing weight.

i have about 17 holes drilled on my swingarm on my bike. its uneven at the moment and need to win one more race so the weight can be 50/50 on both sides of the bike



wanna racE?

Drift_86 09-02-2011 11:27 PM

Lol is this guy serious^^^^

It is functional. But I would never do it to a street car, especially a daily. Fuck that.

This. But you have to take into consideration that Honda guys lack the ability to think for themselves. Therefore they jump on whatever bandwagon is popular at the time. Since lately S-Chassis and drifting have been more popular, they switched to 240s. In turn, the majority of these ugly as AIDs, complete abomination "drift" cars have been due to Honda guys.

I give it 3-5 years before they swap back to Honda, and then you will start seeing unifinished, riced out 240s driven by old people and 16 year olds, cuz they drew the short end of the stick.
