A L 3 X Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 Such a shame mate, didn't you say it had just been rebuilt recently also? :/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Dan507 Posted August 26, 2012 Share Posted August 26, 2012 (edited) Cheers dude Got a different front bumper to go at some stage and have converted back to pop ups with a vent on one side cause pop ups rule ha ha!Was gonna say when fitting this or these wings make sure it's well braced underneath like a big plate or something. They wobble quit a bit once you get past 80 if they are just bolted on I.e just drilled. If you look at my build thread I got my body's hop to weld some plates on the surface to take the foot of the bracket so it sits square on. As this wing sits on the curve bit on the boot lid. I did not want my brackets pinching inwards if you know what i mean If you wan to see what I did for bracing under the boot lid let us know and I'll send you a pic? Shame you live on the other side of the country ha ha otherwise could meet up lol.Anyway good choice of wing! Only fd's can really pull this wing off:)O RLYThe car looks sweet man. Huge wing makes it much better, i think you need to get rid of that Arial dude. It looks like an RC car Edit: didn't see the third page. Bad luck dude. I need the engine Rebuilding on my RX8 I'm sending it to Hayward Rotary soon - with porting . He offers an awesome warranty 2 and a half years or 30k miles and one of the cheapest too.
