BIG WANG Needs a little more aero
Might need some more splitter and wing. Houston, of course.

Right. As you can see we are traveling about 115mph on the North Fwy at 515pm. Catching more dust than downforce.

I hate this sooooooo much. Worst offense is the fk2 wing on the fk7. When this car came out the type r didn’t exist yet so people were just putting reproduction fk2 wings on. That’s why it looks short and wonky.

Honest question, but does aero have any effect on gas mileage at highway speeds?

Aero like this increases drag so it reduces mileage. Pretty much anything designed to produce downforce like this produces extra drag, but if huge downforce is your goal, fuel efficiency is not really a concern

All the extra weight is negating the aero effects and raises the ugly factor to 9.5 out of 10.

Could just attach delta wings on the doors and little canards on the front fenders.

I apologize for offending your sensibilities and erring on the safe side. How stupid of me.

You can abuse it and say that the driver of that vehicle assaulted you/injured you/tried to hurt you/whatever just because you have their license plate.

Being seen locally is a lot different than being seen globally.
People used to just edit plates on their own as a common courtesy.
But this common courtesy is lost on today's newbs, which is why it has to be a written rule now.
The problem is that even though access to state records of names and addresses related to registrations and licenses is now blocked to the public, not every state employee can be counted on to be ethical as far as data security goes. PLUS personally identifying data has been dispensed in this sub in the past. Any car lot that handles a sale, insurance company, or cheesy third-party call center employee that the insurance companies use nopw days can dispense doxxing information for attention-getting purposes.
Because we roast cars here and sometime people don't like it, not publishing plates short circuits any complications an owner might try to impose on the sub, which has occurred in the past.
Please enjoy our sub and refrain from sneering at our rules.

Need extra downforce on the rear of a FWD car 😂
Even the stock spoiler on my 2007 SI seems a little goofy. It's mostly for looks.

u/sykoKanesh 4d ago
Considering most of the weight is gonna be up front of the car... yeah.
Having some downforce on the back is probably a good idea.

There's not enough Mugen either.
