where's the wing? I want to see a pic with the wing on. how does it stay on that bracket? very curious because I need access to my hatch but want an aluminum wing so that would be ideal for me. i got a marshall 4x12 guitar cab that's 75lbs and its hard to load by myself so with a wing it would be impossible. nice build though, car looks great painted!

-Gonna give it a go with the wing but wasn't a fan of the wing but will def give it another go, i made the brackets up, which gives me to use almost any spoiler i want now so dead handy & gives it real good support. You can still access & opne the boot all the way but obviously from the sides only

guys, thats obviously a BEFORE pic of the car. since, the body kit has been put on and painted as well as different wheels. see 1st page.

maybe if the wing was slightly lower it would look better. like this car which I think the wing looks good on. see attached

Ha ha yeah as FC fan the pictures with the white wheels & spoiler are old ones, was just showing you all the spoiler & brackets, you sillys!

-Furb you are correct that is RE:Worx, may attend Rotorstock but really dunno just yet.

-R.O.D the brackets are really simple to make up & by the tim i have got a set done up for you & shipped them to the US you may as well have done them

-Makenzie71 what kind of angles you after & i take it oyu are after now pictures not previous old ones?

-FC fan that picture is exactly what i am planing to do with spoiler, just gotta shorten the legs of the spoiler & put in some new holes

How does the car run? Great? Is it not enough power, is it just right for you? Fast enough? Faster than a lit civic? Will it spin the tires just dumping on the throttle? What does it drive like? How's your gas milage?

What's different driving it now than with the 13b egi?

Cool stuff. Now vids of high rpm donuts/cookies...

I would like to see some current, with the wing, from about 3o-clock and 1:30~ish. I'd also like to see a straight 6.

Subscribed. Interested to hear more about how or if engine electronics issues get worked out.

^I'd also like this. It'd cost me around $2500 to do a proper TII swap...only $3k for a Renesis and EMS.

Wish I could lower her more but she is my daily car, she is really low as she is but going any lower is just ask for trouble as for spacers she is running 30mm as the rear & 20mm at the front so looking in to getting some better fitting wheels for a real tight fit!
