Not wanting to open old wounds but windscreen or Aero Screen?
OK this debate has been rattling around our kitchen since VMax bought his first bit of steel - whether to have a windscreen or this piece of carbon affectionately called an AeroScreen.
Firstly AERO is a chocolate bar and does not belong on the build - but I dont want rain in my face or to be eating flies (keep it clean) I would like to be able to hear VMax chattering whilst we drive along - so thoughts please, who has either - help me restore calm to our kitchen or convince me to have the chocolate bar screen thank you :o |
a windscreen will create more form drag and therefore use more petrol so he will have less money to spend on flowers for you

Personally I had been considering this since my build started. I am going for a windscreen purely for those reasons, keep a little more of the wildlife out of my hair and teeth. I bought an extremely cheap locost screen off ebay and am in the process of modifying it to make it look right. Is a bit too narrow width wise and tall hightwise at the moment. Not sure at the moment whether to bother with wipers etc as it will be removes and retro fitted after iva to eliminate all the usual wiper, demister etc issues.
I'm sure I will not be the only member with an opinion so you will have plenty of other comments to fan the flames of the kitchen debate Russ |
I reckon half a screen on your side that gives you a make up mirror in the sun visor, that will also give your hair a fighting chance. Mr vmax can have the aero so he cant hear a word you say. Deep joy for all:p

Usual thing is if u put screen on before iva I believe u must have demister, washers and wipers. I am thinking if I just use a screen but nothing else due to pretty low mileage I may get away with just cleaning screen occasionally. If not then probably make provision to fit something like landrover wipers or something like that. Shouldn't be that difficult either way......he says with fingers crossed!

well as a biker i have riden meny miles in all sorts of rain and its not to much of an issue
the faster you go the drips get pushed out to the sides by the wind as the visor is curved not flat like a windscreen |
Crash helmet visors shed water nicely and keep fairly clear .They'll cause a lot less drag than a big wind anchor stuck on top of the car.Mind you with the size of some of the engines planned on here its not going to make a whole heap of difference:eek:

If you want me to hear you talk I will fit an intercom system for your bash hat and about the hat hair I will put a brush in the boot for you to use My vote goes to the aeroscreen and after all I thought you liked chocolate lol |
Reminds me of my mrs.:rolleyes:
I'm fairly adventurous and wouldn't mind a bit of slumming to get to some great places.Maccu piccu (or however its spelt) Ayers Rock ,The Amazon,South seas----But the first Question is "Will I be able to plug in my hairdrier?" SecondQuestion "Will there be hot showers?" Majorca here we go again:o |
got to be windscreen and weather gear for me. No garage so its either weather gear or it fills with water, leaves, snow.

Do it after IVA its less to fail on,Solution VMax,two crash hemlets,intercom with one mike (yours) problem solved.:eek:

With regards wipers or not, I've used Rain-x http://compare.ebay.co.uk/like/270855345769?var=lv<yp=AllFixedPriceItemTypes&va r=sbar&adtype=pla on windscreens and visors, and it works well as long as you appy it fairly regularly.
Hope that helps with the 'discussions' :D |
Can I book in for the smacking please,only about 40 miles away. :eek:
