Negative. I used cardboard, a box cutter, packing tape, a sharpie, and a ruler. after I had the mounting points figured out, I did all the cad work in 2D vector which I then sent to JhnRx7 to clean up and test.

 

Currently the Product Development Section is only for paying vendors to start threads. I'm looking into having it opened up for the general populace.

FYI for everybody:

Threads on new products looking to ask for member input and comments and to simply show progress on innovative parts are welcomed here.

Threads discussing pricing, potential Group Buys and pre-orders move into the realm of forum vendor membership.

Luckily for all of us, the Group Buy Vendor membership only requires a one-time $75 charge to run a GB that lasts 3 months. Not too shabby, right ?

In the meantime, as long as threads don't "go off the rails" so to speak, they'll be good to go in this section

 

whoa.... I've been looking for a subtle wing, I can drive on the street and no attract too much attention. I think I found it!

 

im a little late but this is kick ***.

 

Updates??

 

What about side loading...does it need some form of cross bracing?

 

Read through about half the thread, very cool idea. Is there any way you could make it look more organic to go with the rest of the car?

 

I like it! I'm in....sub'd for updates.

 

Updates

 

that is a phenomenal idea. hope to see some pictures soon of cars with them to get a better idea of how they look in the rear world

 

Tom is no longer active on this forum. I believe he may still post from time to time on RCC.

Yes, I'm not using this forum except for classified postings and responding to PMs.

I haven't created a new development thread for this wing over on RCC yet, but I will once I have time to continue with this project.

 

What is RCC? :[

 

i want one!

 

I'd guess *************.com

Its a shame, really, this forums got a lot quieter over the last few years

 

Hmm..I'd guess posting that is not allowed

 

Thought I might post an update. I put the project on hold for awhile but it's back in the works. The files are at a local machine shop and being produced ASAP. More info soon.

 

Good to see. Please keep us updated. Very interested.

 

Subbed

 

Picked up the parts from the machine shop today. Here are the brackets for one-side of the car. Still need to do some finishing to these parts and then test for fitment.

 

I want!!!!!!!!


I really hope this works out as I would really love to have a huge ricer wing without drilling my hatch. For the track of course.

 

Test fitting the brackets. Everything lines up perfect - no having to force anything. Hard to believe it came out so perfect considering this was mocked up with hand-cut cardboard. Big thanks again to JhnRx7 for his kick-*** CAD assistance using my 2D vector files.

The upper riser pieces have built-in adjustability for the airfoil. Designed according to APRs specs.




H-bracket (adapter plate) bolted up - still need to install the studs so the L-bracket can attach, but everything lines up perfect.


Tie-down bracket fits perfect and bolts up to the bottom of the lower riser.


Here's what it looks like with the bumper skin removed.




Bumper skin on...


Next steps:

1. Machine a notch/lip into the riser pieces where they bolt together.
2. Install studs into H-brackets
3. Create stabilizer brace(s)
4. ROAD TEST!

 

Too freakin cool not to subscribe to.

 

errr...meant to type "APR" not "ARP" in my previous post.

 

Must have! I need for my car.
