To the OP. Although this style of modding isn't my cup of tea, I enjoy seeing the effort and craftsmanship that goes into building cars like this.

haha all the revscene critics in this thread seems to be some sort of expert in motorsport, we're all enthusiasts here but show me a fast lap time at any of our west coast tracks and I'll hear you out.

You don't need to just go high speed to utilize a rear wing, I shouldn't need to explain this. It's the same people who think fwd cars don't need rear wings on the track. I kind of regret sharing the pics, so lame.

If you can't handle constructive criticism or others opinions then its probably best you don't upload pictures of your car here. Yes, where are all here because we have interest in CARS. Is a reason why I haven't shared my car yet... Until I can save up to afford a Porshce, BMW M, MB AMG thoroughbred I just post my favorite Germans allthewhile drooling over my keyboard dreaming. Endlessly watching youtube videos of top gear, chris harris and random car clips

Sorry this aint North Korea where public consencus is unanimous. If I owned a RWB and some random says that Porsche look like a fat VW Bug I couldn't give a fuck less. If you like your car thats all that matter to the car owner. In the end tastes are subjective and people gonna do what they like but don't expect everyone to like what you like.

I like Porsche's
You like GT Racing Spoilers
No harm no foul

If you haven't even posted a picture of your car, you have no right to even criticize at all. Yes the style is not to everyone's taste, but when you try to make a point with no personal benchmark to speak of, you're just as bad as that guy who talks out of his ass at meets. Yes a wing that big may seem impractical, but when supported with the right aero parts it can be effective at lower speeds. Chris Rado put a wing on the front of an FWD for fucks sake.

As for the cars, the shots were awesome, though the hearts cut into the risers of the S2K weirded me out :lol:

I just want to poke fun at the clothes you guys are wearing.

Don't have any regrets. Fuck the critics and wannabe racers that don't know shit. Everyone's got an opinion, whether it's valid or not. You and all the peeps you track with know what's up and that's what counts. You build your car how you like it, not how you hope others will like it.

For the record, I remember your car from the mid-2000's at PR when I was first getting into track days. Different color I believe. Your car and driving ability was certainly notable back then and I took notes for sure. Now, 10 years later, you have had the seat time to make judgement calls on what adjustments are needed to improve your lap times. That includes aero improvements. No need to justify anything. You're good to go dude :thumbsup:

I've seen another in another section that was better than that to be honest. It had no mention of material social status, and was actually well thought out.

Savant when needed, right?

Timpo 07-05-2014 07:51 PM

I think Route KS has one of the biggest wing on the market (1850mm).

This photoshoot is over 9000. So jealous over the amount of goodness in this shoot.

Forget all the haters and lets enjoy the pics. In for build thread of the FD!

vo_hantu 07-07-2014 09:02 AM

Sweet pics Supman7! It is what it is...can't satisfy everyone but at least we had fun.

For those curious, Supman7 and I did this shoot ... maybe 4-5 years ago. We wanted to do it again and hopefully again in another half decade:

Good post. The wing stands are hilarious. I got them made by my friend TsukubaSpec for fun. I have my voltex and j's one at home. Perhaps next time I"ll stack all three or mount the wing backwards. You guys are all way too serious, enjoy life and laugh at my car with me :D

Moving on, I have a few more pics since Supman7 covered the rest.

I kept seeing the title of this thread at work but never clicked on it because I thought it had to do with chicken wings lol. Plus most pics are blocked via smoothwall :rukidding:

Lovely shots and lovely cars! Best part is they get put to work!
