It's funny how you've only been in japan for three years and think you know their entire history of tuning ...

It's funny how you hate nissans, but think the trend hasn't been around till now ....

I remember seeing 240's with s13 front ends when I was 15.

Please stop posting in this thread.... I'm getting tired of reading your skewed, bs tech.....

A wangan wing, or any wing for that matter, will stabilize the rear at most speeds... 140 mph is not some magic number where all of a sudden.... BAM... Wow, I have traction in the rear again....

This is Carl's car:


One day I wish I could know as much about cars as Carl does.... He built the damn thing himself.... Rebuilt the engine, swapped it in, fabbed up what was needed, and did a damn good job at it....

He used to have an RPS13 with an RB20det and an S15 front end conversion.... When he went from being spoilerless to a wangan wing, he said he could tell a difference..... And to be honest, if he says something made a difference on a car I believe him.... :lol:

Edit: Oh, and Carl's car is what I was going to model my S14 after.... 8)

almost guarantee its a red top Sr20...the wheel bolt pattern looks to be 4 lug.
and? it could have a swap. it's obviously not a stock car.

Now, I believe the MODERATOR asked you to get out of his thread.

what im saying is you are not going to notice a difference with that wing on going 60mph. you will probably create more up lift than anything. but you would never go those speeds since u posted in my thread about how stupid it is and immature. so it must be for asthetics. which kinda goes against the 'jdm" theory of function over form or whatever it is.


your friends s14 has R32 GTST wheels kool =) :D

like i said, hit me up in a few months if you want some parts for your car. pretty cheap to free. just pay for shipping

and how fast did you go? the speed limit im assuming..or maybe slightly above.
so you were at speeds that wing is useless. which would be 98% of the time you are driving. thats my point ;)

Going 80 mph in a 70 zone is different then going 167 in a 31.... :???:

And yes, I would actually be able to tell a difference.... The car would be much stabler during those speeds and would be much easier to drive....

And yes, it would be aesthetic as well.... Because it looks damn good....




Although I don't think I will be getting a wangan wing atm anyway.... Just a bit too large for my tastes.... ;)
