On the other hand, I know of one sevenalike that has an SR20DET in it, that overheats when you look at it, and it has side vents like that too. So it
won't hurt, but won't cure inherent problems.
I do wish I'd done that on mine though, but I was in too big of a hurry to put my panels on. Plus, I didn't think of it at the time. A lot
of neat stuff comes to mind AFTER, doesn't it?

Wondering that myself.
There's definately a case for relieving under-bonnet pressure in addition to getting the hot air out. (the reason a gap appears where my
bonnet/scuttle meet at speed)
But, effective as these side panels undoubtedly are, aesthetically I'd prefer mesh covered holes/vents instead. Wondering if they'd be at
all as effective?

Hi
Dax did it first .Lol We procomp did it to the very first SE's that we built for racing. The Newey cars. We have been doing it that way ever
since on many Westfields and has been a standard feature on the LA Golds since we produced them in various guises.
The trouble is that very few seem to understand what is needed to make the effect work and not become a deficit to the cooling rather than a gain.
Just putting the sides on can have a negative effect unless they are done properly and other measures are taken also.

i think i can guess what mods your talking about - and its possibly related to a recent thread on here about aerodynamics.
