I had a friend come by and show me his handy work in body work he has been doing to his X he has been auto-xing but now wishes to race it. He did something that I have often wondered about how it should be done but would never do it. He basically cut out the ENTIRE tub that separates the radiator from the front boot. He created screen cutouts in the hood and welded a sheet metal wall that acts as the barier to force the air up and out the cutouts in the hood.
I have never actually seen how this is typically done in a racer X but I know some X racers do it, so I couldn't comment. But my question now is what affect structually will this have? This is a lot of metal and I would think removing it would seriously compromise the structual integrity of the front of the car.
Anyone have any thoughts?
