It's time to play: Name That Wing!!

Yo,


Okay, it's everyone's favorite game: Name That Wing!






It looks like the Japanese Yourssports wing, but I think Erebuni knocked it off or something.

Any ideas on where to get the wing?

Thanks in advance!

I think that's an Rx-3 by my account. I'm basing this on the point at the front grill. That pic is from Sevenstock, I've saved it myself. Everyday I look at it and I want one of these so bad I can taste it. I'm thinking supercharged streetport 13b 4port. I can't even think straight when I start talking about it.

How come no one can get my name right? Scarthcart, scrapcart, crashcar, scatcart... *sigh*

My name is Sean Cathcart. Cathcart is my last name.
Pronounced KATH- KART.

scathcart is my first initial followed by my last name.

I think from now on I will refer to Kevin as RacrestRX

That's funny. I have one of those wings too. I actually don't like it much. It doesn't fit all that well and over the years it has started comming loose. It also delaminated a bit and the paint came off. I would much rather had a factory one. Oh it also makes it hard to get at the lip of the hatch to open it. Always have to grab the wiper arm. When ever someon else tries to open the hatch the try to pull the wing off. It restricts rear ward visiblity somewhat , and makes waxing the car kind of a pain. (most of this probably applies to any fin) Mine is actually hanging on the wall right now as it vibrated too much after my sub install. I'll probably put it on again after I repaint the car one of these years.

They are definately after market. Mazdatrix or Racing beat use to carry them (5 years ago?) but last time I looked it was no longer in the catalog. Don't have a pic handy of my car or I'd post it as well.

Yo,


Thaniel, how does it mount? I'm thinking it must use the front mounting holes for the stock wing (About 9 inches in front of the power antenna).

Did you have to drill a hole for the central pillar? Don't know if I want to go that far.

Thanks for your input. Makes me kinda re-think a little bit!

The way mine mounts is: Open the hatch and screws hold the sides of the fin to the car. When the hatch is closed the side edges of the hatch are almost brushing the tops of the screw heads. Does this make sense? Part of the fin fits in the gap between the hatch sides and the car body.

It isn't as bad as I make it seem is suppose. I would prefer a factory fin though. It spent 9 years on the back of mine and I thought it looked much better than no fin at all. But to open the hatch gotta to grab the wiper arm.
