03 versus 03.5 MSP Wing

[Pretzellogic]

Always liked the 03. Don't like the way the 03.5 flares out.

 

[ONRAILS]

03.5 wing... guess cause I'm partial.

 

[CChris704]

yeah whoever said "depends on the colors" is right IMO. I voted 03.5 because I like my car! but i'd rather have a black 03 with a 03 wing > a 3.5 wing

 

[mazdaspeedpower]

I agree, it really does depend on the colour of the car...I kinda like the 03 wing better.

 

[vindication]

anyone interested in a regular sedan wing? great for the sleeper look on the MSP. I am selling mine because I wanna go wingless.

i know someone wants it

i go for 03.5 not cos i have one but because it resembles the original speed wing on the 2gen protege/familia. Also, it has a better benefit in putting th rear down to avoid shaking on fast speeds. The center post on the 03 i think creates a vortices the basically disturb the flow of air at high speed. while the 03.5 just flows straight into it. also the side of the wing is slanted to drive away air faster...hehe aerodynamics..lol

ya have u noticed that the 03.5 wing shakes violently at anything over 60? The 03 wing won't do that because of hte center post. But that just means the trunk is better more abuse. my 2 cents

 

[NRRfrogmanP5]

i like em both...both are differently styled but both nice...but scince im in love with the spicey orange...ill have to say the 03

 

[txmzdspd2gen]

as per the sec from apocman the 03 wing is heavier than the 03.5...

 

[warrier04]

gotta say i like the 03 wing more (even though i have the 03.5) - i just looks more aggresive without crossing the bounds into 'rice wing'.

 

[BOOSTR]

The 03 is the better looking wing.

 

[oldzoomer]

03.5 looks better to me. the MP3 and 03 wings are too low and flat. Kinda weird looking in a Japanese sort of way.

I've never noticed my wing move at any speed.

I've never seen any factual information regarding the functionality of these wings. I just consider it yet another glued on piece of plastic to make this car look different. Since that is all they do then choosing becomes a matter of personal taste.

That " 03.5 wing shakes over 60 mph" is a load of s***.

 

[ChiMSP]

all MSP's sexy... every single last one! 03 or 03.5. I voted 03.5 because I's on my car. 03.'s are sexy bitches too.

 

[txmzdspd2gen]

like i said, theres an effect on the flow of the air at fast speed on spoiler. The more aerodynamic the spoiler the better the smooth flow of wind. Without spoiler, the wind that comes off your roof and side of car creates a disturbance known as EDDIES AND VORTICES ( if it serves my memory right from my aerodynamic days). It is just a common knowledge that its useless cos car makers makes it more of a design add on rather than design reason. Why would the wrc cars have wings? well cos they go fast and they even design it where it is also aerodynamic while the car is going sideways. just my 2 cents.

 

[Wha'Happened]

03.5= more hp

 

[Protege73]

That " 03.5 wing shakes over 60 mph" is a load of s***.

I agree, there is absolutely no shaking at all over 60. Not sure where that came from.....?

 

[Gbourdon]

Mine shakes but I think it is more like over 80 mph.

 

[noclue119]

That " 03.5 wing shakes over 60 mph" is a load of s***.

Really? Cuz so far 4 people driven my car and all of them said it shakes.

Perhaps yours is loose. You might check underneath the trunk lid.
