20B SM2 Autocross FD

The last 30 seconds has some good video of my wife Beth's 20B RX7 that she lets me drive and wrench on. I know the wing is a bit large and ugly, but it actually provides about 100lbs of downforce at 50mph, as it is a 7 sq. foot, high camber, dual element with a wicker bill, carbon fiber piece built by Pennon composites. I designed it bolt to the stock mounts, so we can take it off and put the stock piece back on with 5 minutes.

I was at JC auto Spec today and they mentioned your car. I actually think I've seen it sitting in the back before. I'd love to talk to you about the install etc just to see what you did and maybe take a look at the car sometime if you didn't mind. I have a 20b project FD sitting in my garage, and could probably take something from your own "lessons learned".

cool video. dissapointed that the shot of your FD is so short. Loved the sound of it. How did your wife do? Comments on the other cars:

Holy Monster Truck tires on the Talon
I didn't know that muscle cars could turn
Loved the green FB that was pushing around the cone.

The car looks great Erik! I hope you make it out to Walnut Ridge with it next year, so I can take a good look at it and see it run. I'll try to be as much competition as possible
