doesn anyone have some aero information for the mini?

 

im trying to find out the way the air flows around the back of the car, i have a good understanding of what i expect the air flow to be like on that area, im just looking to see if anyone has actualy done this themselves?

 

ive found some old threads and websites but they are all 404in' on me

 

thanks gang

There was an article in mini mag ages ago with it and they put tape over the seams to make it as aerodynamic as possible. I think it's the same one thats 404ing. I've got the mag just don't know which one, anybody got an idea on the date?

There used to be some aero tunnel footage on a website a while back bug that has been taken down as they are working on new aero items.

But what info are you looking for or wigs are you trying to achieve?

Basically I'm looking for the best place to mount a wing, just wanted to see how the air flows around the back to see what would be best

Why do you need a wing? RWD conversion?

From further back in the archives.....

 

Dave Vizards 'Mini Tech News' magazine March 1982 (available long before all the current Mini magazines appeared in 1990's)

(also note me listed as 'Roving Reporter' )

I have yet to find the more in-depth technical report on Mini aerodynamics that I have stored away somewhere in the loft.........
