Very happy to see everything coming together. Looking forward to hearing about the road test 👍

 

Hey, you need more than one tester...Can I purchase at your total cost to help work out the kinks...I will be tracking my FD monthly...

 

Got it mostly bolted-up using the random hardware I had lying around. I'm ordering nice button-head hardware but don't have it yet, so the random hardware I have for now is good for at least making sure everything lines up.

I had to rest the lower brackets on some boxes since I haven't installed studs in the H-brackets yet (the part that lets you bolt the wing to the rear bumper through the reverse-light holes).











As soon as I get all the hardware and install the studs into the H-bracket. I'll be road testing it on my black "daily driver" FD.

 

Nice progress. In for more pics of the final-ish setup!

 

Theorie nice job on all the R&D!
Another tool for us track junkies and high speed runners.
I never had my rear bumper cover off; I assume the holes for the H bracket are existing, correct?

 

I'll take mine in Orange with black supports )

 

Correct they are

It's getting there, nice to see the concept a reality

Awesome work with this, can't wait to see some more updates.

Eager to get one sent down to Aussie land when they're finished.

 

If u have a go pro, it would be helpful to aim it at the wing during testing to see how much it moves under aero loading.

 

I do. I'll definitely be setting up the GoPro for the road tests.

 

All the hardware came today. Last thing I need to do is install the studs into the "H-plate" adapters that allow you to attach the "L-bracket" to the back of the car (through the holes in the bumper). Hopefully I can do that tomorrow evening and road test as well.

 

^ well GD that looks fantastic!

What it the weight like? Those supports look BEEFIE!

Not sure the total weight...I'll definitely weigh everything at some point. The risers are 3/8" thick 6061 aluminum and the smaller brackets are 3/8" steel. Some of the parts might be able to be slimmed to 1/4".

 

Are you going to wind tunnel test it? Or just street test.

 

Very nice! I would use the dauntless wing but everything you have done is excellent. I love it!

 

LOL I don't have access to that kind of technology. Road testing. The wing is already tried-and-true. What I need to "test" is that the mounts/risers can sustain the downforce generated by the wing at speed.

 

Hopefully that's where I come in...

 

Theorie,

This setup looks legit! Very well thought out design!

Wow! Looks great

 

Looks awesome! Do you know if the GTC 500 will bolt onto this as well?

 

As long as the mounts are 47" wide. I believe they are...

Also I'm almost ready to road test the wing. I needed to special order press-in studs for the adapter "H" plates that bolt to the rear bumper, and it took awhile to find them in the right size and strength. They shipped out yesterday so as soon as they arrive I can get the wing road tested.

 

I'm not a fan of spoilers but I really liking this and would buy it to mount for track days

 

I received the H-Brackets back from the shop with studs installed (they're welded in from the back). Here are a few more photos of the brackets and everything installed on my black FD (witohut the bumper so you can see how it attaches).



Welded-in studs on the back side of the plate:








Sat on one side of the wing to test the strength. It held all 180lbs of me. I bounced up and down and the whole car moved - the risers were super sturdy.


Road testing it later today and more photos to come...

 

Few photos of the car with the wing installed (but without the rear bumper). I wanted to take photos without the rear bumper to show the mounting setup. I'm going to put the rear bumper back on and take more photos and then do a video road test.













I'll post more photos with the bumper reinstalled when I have a chance to put it back on.

 

Bad ***. Awesome job
