If you put that Boeing reject on the back of a 7 they'll have to put this up at the end of your street...

my FAVORITE!!!

my FAVORITE part of this whole thing...is the comment "No one will mistake my FC for a honda, believe me. I have a big MAZDA sign in the back" (Or some such similer quote). Here's another quote "Fight fire with fire" now if we do it like math we do in math then we can substitute Rice in for fire and the equation holds. "Fight Rice with Race!"

"HEY MAN, MY CAR'S A MAZDA! None of that rice crap for me!!!" -- A man standing next to an FC that sports: Undercar lights, a huge wing, cut springs, 20" wheels, neon shift ****, and yes a huge MAZDA sticker in the back window (because Honda boyz don't do cool stuff like that )


lol, sorry bro I don't mean to flame ya, it was just WAY TOO IRONIC to pass up.

A note about wings. Personally I've considered getting a removable/adjustable wing, for whatever car I can eventually get my hands on, that will provide downforce at around 70mph. The reason being that I will eventually be autoXing the car (and driving "legally" in the backroad twisties) and it would be nice to produce a nice amount of downforce to keep those rear wheels goin and where top speed doesnt reach up into the 120mph zone. However, as was mentioned before. If it was a daily driver it would need to be removable as I'm sure I would be targeted by cops, thieves, and people accusing me of rice. just my pennies (since I hate pennies, who really cares about a few cents anyway? I throw away anything less than a quarter...)

Peace between the RX-7 owners! We've all got a REAL sports car. Atleast, those of us that have been able to get our hands on a rex. Dammit Mike! You need to be available so that I can come see the car!!!

I want that wing! Let them call me rice, I don't care, I'd rather be rice than have such a tight *** you couldn't fit a grain of rice in there! Until he starts saying he gets a 5mph increase from each sticker he puts on the car, let him be!

Personal taste. I say go for it. If anything, he's got more of a reason to create downforce on the rear wheels.

Sonik is a ricer, Sonik is a ricer!!!! Too bad his car dosen't even move!!! You know I LOVE YA BABY!!!

I am a hardcore anti-ricer, but I must say, that wing has possibilities. This summer, I am going to try and fabricate a Regret wing, and I think that one is a good replacement for one, since we can't get em here in America!!

Here's what I don't get: Most (read: most) of you guys drool over the highly modified FC's in Japan. You guys must have watched Option video at least once, you know what I'm talking about. Alot of those FC's do have big, huge aluminum wings, but nobody says: "Damn! That's one riced-out FC! Look at that huge wing! Look at those big *** body-kits!" Huh, it just seems too weird for me..........

haahh thats what i have been saying for ever!!! then they go off and say "well its tuned so its ok" man i have seen a integra with the craziest bodykit that had a huge turbo and kills everyone at the races. drag isn't my thing but im sick of anti rice. its just the newest trend if you ask me. as for big wings. i want to build a car that looks liek i drove it right from the jgtc. i love striped insides huge wings and all. but you have to do it right. not a little alu wing. thats rice. but yeah i do find that funny. anti-ricers are ****

oh yeah. as for the wing. i don't like it...i'm more for huge single plane wings. about a centmeter. wider then the car on each side. and a long surface. i love the one RE makes. i dunno if many wings like that look good on FCs though...the hatch slope is too steap. but if you can find one that mounts like RE's then hell yeah grab it.

(Please note the folling is MY opinion, im not telling you what to do but what i think you should do or what i would do, its YOUR car.)
ok, my 2 cents: I dont like aluminum spoilers period, not on race cars and not on road cars. Those things are ugly and are usually there for a reason on REAL RACE cars. Not for looks of course, but to keep the car on the ground at high speeds, but on street vehicles , wings/spoilers are for looks so why bother with the ugly aluminum/giant ones? you have so many other options! a car that doesnt need an aluminum spoiler looks plain dumb.

quote (crap i forgot your name up there dood): "I'll be the first to tell you that GT-Wings belong on GT race spec cars only.
I think the things look awful on anything but a handful of cars."

exactly.

unless you're gonna be taking hairpin turns at incredible speeds, take it easy with the wing dood, i would get some sleek fiberglass!

but then, its YOUR car and im behind any mazda owner 100% if thats what you like.

Thumbs down Hello rico...

It was a car club sticker on the back of that car, not the manufacturer.

I suppose if it had an "Herbalife" sticker on the back, you'd call it a frickin' " Herbalife wing form Japan"

that intake manifold would make a crummy spoiler dude... i dont think it would give you more than minimun downforce, but the added weight in the rear might help :P
