Can you actually fit in the McDonald's Drive Thru with that wing?

CAUTION: 13' 9" Clearance!

that's pretty funny.. thats the most original comment i've got about the wing on this board

hmm have you been here before? if you really think ff doesn't need traction in the rear then you need to learn more about cars :)

btw here are the pics for you guys of the track day (not my pix, taken by another lapper) i went to a couple days ago. I've got a vid of me driving past turn 9 into the straight away, you can kinda hear the exhuast to see wut it sounds like, i'll try to host it up. Hope you like the pics :)

oh and if you're wondering about the rally pig decals, they are a local garage aj-racing(hardcore tuners, the white with blue graphics s2000 won the superstreet timeattack FR class, fast fast cars). The skylines and 86 are from tuningspirit.

Did I miss the memo about rear strut tower braces?
Nice exhaust by the way. $800 for a catback is pricey though...

again, prices are really not known yet.. we haven't decide which type of stainless steel etc so i can only estimate.. but there doesn't seem to be any interest so doesn't really matter lol

and for the rear cpillar bar, it's actually an Alex bar made for a ep3, it fits perfect :) great for camera mounting too

Damn, I wish the shop had done that clean of a job on mine. (pissed) Looks great though. Actually much better than mine since I think my muffler was too large for that style of exhaust. I swear it's gonna be so hard to sell my car. :(

thanks man :), the muffler was fine for your car, i think it looked great thats why i decided to go for it as well. Yea our cars are hard to sell, I'm goin to have a hard time next year to sell mine too unfortunately T-T

oh yeah? your MSP is putting down so much HP that it needs the downforce to keep it planted eh?? what performance mods do you have???

I don't think you need 300hp to go over 180km/hr on a straight away on track, do you?

I have fmic, catless, exhaust you see in the pics above, hks evc at 10psi, etc

why are you shitting in my thread? you must be (first)

i've been super nice in these forums but really now the hating is getting really old. I hate to think all protege owners are like this :(. Other than the hawaii guys over there, you guys gets a thumbs up from me

whatever dude. i'm not being a dick, but your comment to Britt was a little rough...

just saying that i dont think your mods necessitate that wing. if you like it, fine, just say that. dont say its because you need the traction.

other than that your car is very nice.
 
actually i gave him a smiley face, it wasn't that rough was it?

again.. I can tell you've never pushed your car hard enough to realize what i mean by needing rear traction

and i'm positive these guys know what they are doing ;) unless they won the laguna seca by pure power, you understand? :)

edit: btw thanks for the compliment :D

I agree with you, they know what they're doing and so do you. Cause we should know I and you hopefully don't just put parts on for the looks but you could. It should have a function...you know Beautiful Car by the way! I loove it..Where did you buy your HKS EBC and how much?
 
thanks guys, evc was around 700cdn employee price at the shop, great unit but i should of bought a cheaper greddy ebc cuz i never used any of the evc's functions other than controlling boost :P

I'm not trying to be an ass here however just to clarify....There is no direct correlation between power modifications and the function of a wing. You can be putting down 3 billion hp to the wheels and it will still not correlate to the function of a wing. Driving @ 100mph in a car with 50hp is driving @ 100mph, in a similar car that has 3 billion. The relative speed and wind resistance are still the same, therefore your mods have nothing to do with the function of a wing. The correlation, if any, between mods and the function of a wing is how much quicker your modifications allow your car to reach the speed of 100mph.

BTW, if you ever taken a turn at 190km/h in the rain I think you too would like all the traction you can get... So, yes. The UGLY BIG ASS WINGS as some ppl would see it as, would help with traction at higher speeds.
 
very nice car but you should lose the wing i feel like im in a 2 fast 2 furious movie. but the exhaust looks very nice. theres no scraping on the ground???
 
Why is everybody trying to tell him to lose the wing when the wing actually serves it's purpose ?

I guess it's just one of those "oh shnapp, that car looks so CLEAN. it's got shaved door handles n shiiet" kind thing....

FF or not, the rear wheels need traction too... and the only thing that helps is a wing in the back....

you all have wings from the factory that doesn't produce much downforce rather than just looks isn't it ?
 
More pictures, and is the "missing" fog light being used as an intake duct?

I like to know everything about the stuff u have...pplease
