I've been pondering again.. 
would a panel that joins the floor and the bottom of the rear of the beaver panel have any decent aero effect... it looks like most of the mini floor is flat-ish.. and the opens up in the rear and ends with a parachute like scoop at the beav.... it seems to me that this would perhaps fix this... |

I know, some race-minis have their "parachute-panel" removed, due to better aerodynamics. Guess it would have an noticeable effekt. But: What do you do with the exhaust..? 
Switch to side-pipes?  Otherways I could imagine some heat-problems...

Would somthing like that just be another place to trap moisture and eat out the boot and battery box faster ? Don't know if you'd gain much , maybe get a hole saw and cut some large speed holes in the rear valance like the racers used to do . |

in the new issue of mini world some bloke cut out sections and filled them in with some mesh and sprayed over them, i had to look twice because you almost couldnt tell he'd done it. |

I don't reckon it's worth anything, not hard to do sure, but I still don't reckon it's worth it. Might be worth something down the 7-11 on a saturday evening, but only if the boys don't mind getting their trackies dirty having a look... |

In one of Vizards books he talks about modifications for rally use and suggests to put some alloy plating to protect the battery box and also the opposite side - didn't say anything about aerodynamics though.. |

I'd reckon that you'd need to be doing a fair rate of knots for it to have much of an effect... More than you could do with an 850!  Although everything helps when you're starting with 30bhp.

Why not drill some speed holes in the beaver panel? |

Zoomies like the top fuel dragsters, they go really fast and if people see your mini with those they'll know that your mini goes really fast too.

A blue 8 port clubby, in Miniworld a coupl eof years ago had a huge rectangle section of the beaver cut out (letter a letter box hole) and rice mesh inserted. Looked fancy but I doubt it did much. I'd look into getting more hp from your engine before this crazy stuff but hey Cushspeed all the way! |

Under my desk they are everywhere, they die at a rate of one page (frontmost page) per chuck under the desk. Even when treated with respected they fall apart like no other magazine I've ever bought. That was an awesome machine that Clubby. Stroker, big bore, weber injection. And it was going to be for sale!?!?!?!?!? So the article said anyways.... Put all that effort in and sell it off?!?!?! Why? Oh well lucky new owner I'd say. |
