every way up through 2013 Corvettes are |
|
0:23 |
|
what we call bottom breathers some of |
|
0:26 |
|
them have grilles in the front some have |
|
0:28 |
|
openings in the front bumper the fact of |
|
0:30 |
|
the matter is that all these Corvettes |
|
0:32 |
|
breathe from the bottom they suck air up |
|
0:35 |
|
from the road not from the front and one |
|
0:38 |
|
of the most important things to help |
|
0:39 |
|
your car do that is called the air dam |
|
0:41 |
|
look under the frontier car and you'll |
|
0:43 |
|
see bits of black plastic like this this |
|
0:46 |
|
is a right front facing for hanging down |
|
0:49 |
|
under the car now in 68 through 79 it |
|
0:53 |
|
was all one piece that came across in a |
|
0:54 |
|
black 82 82 was two pieces three pieces |
|
0:58 |
|
and c4 c5 and c6 but they all do the |
|
1:03 |
|
same thing what they do is air hits |
|
1:05 |
|
these air dams and is forced upward over |
|
1:08 |
|
your condenser over your radiator so if |
|
1:12 |
|
you have these on your car and they are |
|
1:14 |
|
damaged or if you've managed to go |
|
1:16 |
|
across one too many things that tore |
|
1:19 |
|
them up it's time to replace them |
|
1:21 |
|
because your car isn't gonna cool |
|
1:22 |
|
correctly if you don't have air dams |
|
1:24 |
|
they are helping to force the arrow over |
|
1:26 |
|
the surfaces required for cooling they |
|
1:28 |
|
are relatively inexpensive most views |
|
1:30 |
|
and get a set for a c4 for about 50 |
|
1:32 |
|
bucks a little bit more for a c5 and c6 |
|
1:35 |
|
but still not a major expenditure that |
|
1:38 |
|
is something you can change yourself so |
|
1:40 |
|
next time you go out to drive your |
|
1:42 |
|
Corvette before it's too much hotter |
|
1:43 |
|
just duck under the front of your car |
|
1:45 |
|
and take a look make sure that those |
|
1:47 |
|
pieces are there and that they're in the |
|
1:48 |
|
place they should be not bent not torn |
|
1:50 |
|
not mangled |
|
1:51 |
|
