sssr20det510 Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Well ive been thinking about maybe doing some kind of rear roof spoiler or rear window spoiler on the 510 along with a shark fin antenna what do you guys think, ive never seen a 510 with one so its hard to know what it would look like here are some ideas Quote Link to comment
jefe de jefes Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Do it! Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted November 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Im changing my window seals to cal seals so there wont be any stainless trim, I think that will help with the look Quote Link to comment
SpudWhitman Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Vortex generators on the rear of the roof are on the list of things I plan to add to my dime, as are fender canards, a front splitter, and an undertray that cleans up airflow from the front crossmember to the rear wheel wells and axle assembly tied in with a rear diffuser. To go against the grain, why not pizza tray hubcaps and wheel fairings to high-five all the ecomodders out there? No, seriously, vortex generators at the very least, the rest is how I daydream when riding public transit. I definitely think you should add a window spoiler as an accent to your flying brick. Do it!

510kevin Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 i think it would look awesome! do you plan on modding a currently built one or building one yourself? Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted November 27, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 Prob Modd One for a diff car Quote Link to comment
Icehouse Posted November 27, 2010 Report Share Posted November 27, 2010 I like the idea as well! I'll let you do it on your car first, if it looks cool I will steel the idea :) Quote Link to comment
moparvwfreak Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 IF I ever get a dime, I will be running a roof mount antenna. Something along the lines of the Fuba I have on my jetta and passats. I can pick em up all day long for fairly cheap as people don't always like the stock stuff. Quote Link to comment
Pumpkn210 Posted November 28, 2010 Report Share Posted November 28, 2010 LOVE the Idea, and the look! Done it with some over the counter Vortex thingeys from pep boys! Quote Link to comment

datzenmike Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Why do i hear the song low rider in my head when i look at this thread Hahahaha this was my first thought, but to be fair.... Are these vortex generators for anything but looks? Do they hold the car down above a buck fifty or something? No wait, they keep the rear window from getting dusty? Quote Link to comment

Do they hold the car down above a buck fifty or something? No wait, they keep the rear window from getting dusty? yes, after you fix the Datsun front end aerobrickdynamics. Quote Link to comment

Pumpkn210 Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 No, really. What do they do? They are cool lookin! DER DER DER DER DER DER!!!! Quote Link to comment
sssr20det510 Posted November 29, 2010 Author Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 No, really. What do they do? Vortex Generators help to guide the air flow on cars with very steep drop-off angles between the roof and the rear window. Air flow has a tendency to become turbulent as it separates from the surface of the car in this region. This turbulent air causes drag and reduces the effectiveness of a rear wing. the vg reduces turbulence at the back of the car which still helps your car's aerodynamics with or without a wing. yes, the effect is maximized with the wing but even without it, it still smooths airflow giving the car "some" downforce, although the original intent of the vg (to be used with a wing) is now minimized without the wing. but the point is, it still functions and provides some benefit just not to its full potential without the wing 1 Quote Link to comment
SpudWhitman Posted December 2, 2010 Report Share Posted December 2, 2010 Feast on this technical paper. They'll be cool looking on a Datsun because, der!, as we can see, the Mitsubishi engineers took the time to fine tune the shape for best results on the Lancer, and I don't have the necessary software to compensate for the differences in the dimensions of my dime.

Rhapakatui Posted December 3, 2010 Report Share Posted December 3, 2010 And that, my friends, is why I'm happy my wife hates ratsun. She just closes it if I leave it open on her computer. No one here talks about celebrities, therefore she's not interested. Quote Link to comment
