...and I thought they were to do with aero dynamics, as I’m sure that’s what I read on our 2016 tit x sport.

Where’s greg24 when you need him?

That is just not the case!

They are designed to keep the front of the vehicle from lifting up and therefore enhance traction. At the same time and as a secondary system they vent the engine compartment.

I was being slightly naughty as my dear friend from “Ull” , I believe had attempted to “have one” over me, so I responded likewise. Especially has he mentioned “F1” which was in a response to a “mickey take” post I placed about small flaps and I was corrected by someone more knowledgeable and straight laced. 📏

@Gregs24

Come on, who are you?

You are ultra knowledgeable about the Kuga and all of its working. Give us an insight to the person.

 

[5294]

Well I had thought along that line, however.

First part is unknown
Second part is known
Number is not his age (could be I suppose) but it is the allocated rider number of a well known motorcycle rider which he likes.

Going off topic is a topic in its self until your brought off the off topic back onto the topic you were on before taken off topic by smartguy69 and put back on topic by a moderator who then goes off topic and forgets what topic we were on.

Just topically of these kind of people. Heehee 😉

Flapping he’ll, must be a women reiCARnated.

Don’t flap about it, just shutter your eyes and the earache and pain will ease.

Wonder if the Vignale has them “flaps” fitted, no the flaps at the front not the “anti-aqua planning “, oh no there not, flaps that are designed at the front of the wheel arch, to reduce drag like a f1 car. Couldn’t resist that one.

 

[5294]

Does the effects of wheel drag increase with larger wheels or does the increase in mass compensate and everything becomes status quo. 🧐

There is a statement for not faffing about with the car.
You have mentioned body roll a few times, can’t say I’ve noticed it at all.
Wonder if the dual suspension air/hydraulic has an impact with the “lush” ride the Vignale gives along with the beefed up rear cross diagonal tie rods.

diesel 💪

 

[5294]

I wondered where you were going with the “bigger is better” but as always your clarification was prompt.

The Vignale doesn’t have air suspension but that’s how it reads.

The McPherson type suspension is filled with mineral oil but has a mixture of Nitrogen and helium. The nitrogen is mixed with the oil and the helium is self contained in the lower part. Due to it being lighter than air it pushes up in the internal rod and piston and makes. for a smoother ride. There is some other technical sciencey stuff going on but that’s about it in layman’s terms.

 

[5294]

Another reason not to faff with ya car 😉

Its what they have in “ull” do get rid of pesky Mazda drivers. Just saying.
