          If no one from the future stops you from doing it, how bad of a decision can it really be?

            Hi monoxidechild. Currently those canards(carbon fiber looking things) help me corner better on track Also goldies look is a work in progress but i try and stick to functional aesthetic add ons instead of just looking good or form for forms sake currently i have the lower lip, together with the canards, front grill and rear boot spoiler as carbon fibre items

              The add for them might have claimed that, But there small surface area, and the laws of physics disagree. Those definitely fall under the 'aesthetic' list, and not really functional.

                  Post proof. I want all the data from your baseline test and from the canard tests, what measures were utilized to attain maximum aerodynamic effectiveness when mounting the canards. I'll need the raw data of both setups, how you tested, under what conditions, calibration certs on all test equipment, results of your runs and on what track (pre and post modification), who timed you, their information, contact number, their credentials, the address and contact name of the person(s) who allowed you to test on their track, and I want it all posted on video by tomorrow morning. If you can't provide us with any of that, then we must insist that you retract, or modify your statement to appear more subjective.

                  Is that too much to ask?

                    Ok guys didnt know every statement posted is totally factual. I do drag racing and occasional track racing. FWD cars or in my case battle with traction so the idea is to get the nose down. i dont have f1 technology or wind tunnels available to my disposal so all implementation with regards to aero dynamics and traction or steering is totally based on research by myself. What i noticed on track is high speed corners steers better and in third gear on drag downhill the nose feels more planted after front lower spoiler and canards were installed. I agree that the whole setup looks flimsy but i promise you there is deff. a difference for the better. I am of the opinion in my own illiterate or self researched opinion that any mod wether it be small or flimsy or totally over the top is worth it even if its a 0.1 second gain

                      I'm just messing with Ya. I think you're car looks good and it is obvious that you really enjoy it.

                      My only gripe regarding the canards is that they don't appear to be mounted to any solid structure, only the bumper skin. Is that so? Or are they bolted to the bumper bar somehow? I don't recall it being back that far.

                                Thanx mate. A friend of mine who's also into anything mazda did it for me. I waited 3months for it, but in the end was worth it
