I'm at the point on my Lotus remodel that I need to decide. Do I put the small scoop in the drivers side? Or fill in the one on the other side? I don't like just buting in things like scoops just to look "cool". They have to be functional & have a reason for being there. The type 47 & 62 had small NACA scoops on the "wings" behind the door. I'm not possitive but I think they were for brake ducts. I had thought after looking at the Chevron 16 which has small vents on the inside of the wings. That it might be a good idea to seal the underside of the wings. Have the scoops & a screened vent on the inside that would vent the air out. Then put an adjustable "iris" type vent in the rear firewall. To help with flow through ventillation in the small cabin area. The air flow from the scoop & out the vent would work as a venturi & draw the air form the cabin area. So what do you think?
