100% pure craft cheese on a street car. No point in having one.

 

Gayest Gay of all Gays. If you have one on your 7, please take it off and donate it to a 16 year old with a Camry or an Accord. I **** you not, I saw one of those giant *** aluminum *** wings on the back of a Hyundai Sonata yesterday. I think I got **** all over my seat from laughing so hard.

 

hey i call those cars with the big *** spoilers (shopping carts)

 

I just installed my double decker all powder coated gloss black wing with mounts high enough to clear it of the roofline.

Now I can finally get some v8's to race

 

Batman...I take it that's all purely sarcasm? Cuz w/ you, sometimes i can't tell...lol

 

Nope, I really do have it.........

Pics coming soon.

 

I know you posted this a lil while ago, but I was drivin behind the new Carerra this morning, and it started to dip, so I was right behind it...and when it hit 75mph, the spoiler came up

So I was thinkin...hmmm...How often would the german geniuses put totally non-functional "ricer" equipment on their premier vehicle...a Porsche?

Without a doubt, spoilers help generate a great deal of downforce as speed increases (yes at the expense of drag...)

The average speed large spoilers generate significant downforce at is 80+ mph...(granted it becomes a SERIOUS resource at like 140mph). Point is, I dunno how your driving is, but I definetly exceed 80 mph on practically every drive I take the FD on, regardless of day/time

Oh and Batman, I'm definetly lookin forward to the pics =)

 

I like the looks..... even people that are anti wing look (even stock wing) kinda like it since it was done right by powder coating it the same color as the car.

There are no adverse effects on MPG at legal speed limits, but the occasional 100MPH+ races that i get into on the freeways have helped in rear sectiona stability.

The car just feels more glued on turns and lane switching.

 

Adverse effects on MPG? I didn't think there was anything you could possibly do to make FDs get worse MPG! lol

On a serious note, do some ppl think the drag on large spoilers can be THAT significant??

My point exactly. For me, that's enough of a reason to have one. Granted, you should spend the extra dough to at least make it asthetically pleasing =)

 

If the car didn't have the HP and was FWD then it would be rice.

Rice is mod that has no function IMHO.

People say that there is drag which in turn adversely effects MPG.

it's ironic when one is racing

 

Agreeing with batman,

FWD and unable to reach high speeds on dragstrip = useless wing which makes car guys laugh

RWD, high hp, high speeds, big wings help downforce


dont you love seeing civics with huge wings, decals, and euros?? and then when you ask them what they have under the hood theyre like "cold air intake, muffler......" I just get a good laugh on the way home

 

Very well stated. What gets me is some ppl get sooo paranoid about what is and isn't rice, that they won't do a functional mod because they think it's rice...

By doing that, you're missing the whole point...ricers basically take functional mods we do to our cars, and replicate them in a non-functional fashion on their own...that is the very ESSENCE of rice...

eg: FDs need fire extinguishers. 2 lb - 5 lb halon *real* extinguishers
rice: APC A-pillar 1 lb foam extinguisher

like batman said, large spoilers used for downforce
rice: 85 hp civic or neon w/ spoilers larger than the rear windshield, which can never be functional, given it's a FWD car lol

decals of your sponsor or parts you're running
rice: APC decals (ESP. on foreign cars lol), and on stock cars, (like your F&F decals)

carbon fiber body parts for weight reduction on your rx7
rice: carbon fiber "look" on your 2000 lb 85 hp stock "mAd TiTe RiDe Yo!"

i won't ramble on, but i think the point is clear

LOL!! good point! I wonder what my (instantaneous) MPG is at WOT...5? 6? haha

 

When I get my car back from the shop, I'll snap pics and I guarantee that I'll convert some folks to the "dark side" as I did with the all black look along with the black wheels.

I know it looks good when 70 year old drivers gawk at the car with it's menacing look........

 

LOOL! The Dark Side...i like that =)

I get more than enough old AND young drivers gawk and hi-beam me...but I think it has a lot more to do w/ my driving than w/ the car...lol
(Ever have someone try to actually jump in your way cuz they think you're breaking the law by going too fast? I have...lol)

But hey Batman...you got any pics of your all black on black FD from before? Don't think I've seen it...

 

no one jumps infront of their dark shadow.

People have to identify my car first and the initial looks i see on their faces say WTF is that????

pics of my car before the wing:

LOL...you're a riot

Oh and I like the car...very nice. Def a very menacing look to it

But you know, I woulda figured you'd get "BATMAN" as your license plate....??

 

i think DC comics got that already

 

oh that sux. how bout somethin along the lines of Batmobile? haha (but shorter obviously)

 

wing=gay

 

Was the real point of this thread just to see how many smart asses are on this site? LoL Because I think we have just a few.

 

Ya know, if it was, it worked cuz you just joined 'em...hahaha j/k

 

so did you.
LolL

 

LOL yea...i figured that had already been established unfortunately haha

 

i have a cwest carbon fiber gt wing on my car right now and for it being a $2000 wing i hate it because its so damn big. but it does help when your going 160 down the interstate racing a new corvette, you can really feel it hug the road. but other than that im selling mine because i think it looks cleaner without it

 

While $2000 is way too damn steep for me (yea i know all the *genuine* wings go for like $1700 and up) i think a $300 - $500 knock-off will look just as good, and will perform practically exactly the same

and for those few seconds when you're rapin that corvette or porsche, and you'll gettin the downforce and traction you need, well...in my book, it's all worthwhile. I dunno how you guys feel comfortable w/o a wing if you really go fast at all...to me she feels pretty sloppy over 120 w/o a wing

ill take functionality over cosmetics ANY day (even tho IMHO the right wing done properly is functional AND asthetically beautiful)
