Aerodynamics is sorcery! can't wait to watch that segment

[@ravenreader4772]

Could you do a video on hood vents please?

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

Good suggestion, thanks.

[@gearswitch5692]

Great video as always- any concerns about driving in the wet weather on a regular basis with these installed on a somewhat daily driver? Thank you

[@hillbillysportsman5818]

Awesome catalog!!! Thanks👍

[@2007MXV]

Looking forward to the catalogue.

now that is a fender vent...those WRX/Sti guys will be jealous as their fender vents aren't functional until after some metal and plastic cutting....if you're going to do a (fender) vent, this is how you do it...I'm not quite ready for them but it was a fun watch...

[@giantenemycrabX]

Is it possible that hood vents would improve high speed stability in an NA? If you're moving air through the nose more efficiently, it seems like you would get less of a "parachuting" effect.

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

Hood vents will add front downforce by pumping air into low pressure areas on top of the hood and releasing some of that underhood pressure. It's a big reason why the car in the video has them. But since this was a video about fender vents, we didn't go into that :)

[@giantenemycrabX]

@@FlyinMiataVideo Thank you for the response! I think I'll end up pulling the trigger on a set of hood vents then. I have a '93 that I love, but my biggest complaint is on the freeway the front end gets very floaty.

[@dantenasaki7844]

@@giantenemycrabX I can legally go topspeed on the autobahn in Germany so I experience the problem with highspeed stability first hand. My stock 94 NA8 became quite unstable above 130kph and deadly beyond 180kph. To make the Mx5 more stable I did some mods: 1. Front Lip (more stable above 120kph) 2. Light wheels, grippy tires and proper alignment (did wonders to the old stock suspension) 3. Lowering with coilover setup (less air goes under the car, tremendous improvement) Now I can drive 210kph stable and still control the MX5 (topspeed with stock engine). Future plans are adding a spoiler and more power. I also look into hood vents and flat floor, but that would be difficult to get road legal (TÜV approved). Sorry for my poor English.

[@giantenemycrabX]

Dante Nasaki you did great. Thank you so much. I’ll copy this exactly

[@Okibi5]

G'day Keith, would these work with the Paco Motorsport Strong Arms?

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

They should work just fine with any structural parts under the fender including Strong Arms. It would be kinda fun to see a set of acid green Frog Arms peeking out through a set!

What happens behind the side vents and displacing water

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

The water will exit the same places the air does. If you are worried about rust prevention or water pooling in the fender, take precautions while the fender is off for installation.

[@mccall9770]

so these are most effective when combined with removing the fender liner? what are the downsides to removing the liner?

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

With the liner in place, the airflow is pretty heavily blocked. Downsides are more noise from pebbles etc hitting the inside of the fender and you'll need to clean more debris out of the bottom of the fenders. Interesting note: Mazda put some ventilation in the fender liners in the NB, but at the front.

[@PrimexDeluxe]

Can you guys go over the turbosmart kompact vent to atmosphere bov that is on the website?

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

We'll put that on the list. Expect a lot more product videos in the future.

[@boblast5582]

wouldn't you want you hood vents in a high pressure area? where air would be pushed out through the vents? whats the reasoning on putting them in a low pressure area?

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

Air moves from high pressure to low pressure, so you'll want the vents in a spot of the hood with low pressure on the top. The underhood area is fairly stagnant and tends to be mostly uniformly high pressure.

[@Chilicharger665]

You need to try them on an ND!

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

One of our customers is going to put them on his ND, we're looking forward to the pictures.

[@Chilicharger665]

Flyin' Miata Ron Bauer?

[@FlyinMiataVideo]

Yes.

Jeep Tj/Lj hood vents

I have 3 of those magazines already 🤣
