Title: Spoilers
Post by: Gman on October 31, 2003, 07:14:22 PM
Could anyone tell me where to get this spoiler from and how much they are.

Are they easy to fit

Also i have seen universal ones - are they ok or are they bad quality, ie fall off

Thats my old car mate that i built  :)

The spoiler started life as a Veilside one but the build quality was crap.  It was rebuilt with proper carbon fibre and steel rods through the middle so it would not flex at high speed.  The end plates were supplied by a good freind and the stands are from gary goodings old RX7.  These were made by dragon motorsport who have gone under.... but Nemesis might be a good place to start.  I can supply spoilers through my company but nemesis are the main UK veilside dealer and he may have one in stock at the moment as gary was telling me they have just had a massive shipment of goods.

Anyway, if there are any other spoilers you like the look of, let me know and i maybe able to source you one direct from japan.

Cheers

Nice clean looking motor bud. MS02\'s always look 10 times better in the flesh IMO :)

Have a look around the net - there are loads to choose from.

Start in the aero section of:

Adam on another note where did you get the clear side indicators & also the white rear reflectors or wotever u call \'em? Also anyone know what the code is for side indicator bulbs as i far prefer the clear look so may as well get silvatec type bulbs while i\'m going bout it ;)
Cheers

Post by: Adam on November 02, 2003, 03:54:23 PM
Right,  the fron side indicators in the front wing are from halfords  :)  MX6 ones

The rear bumper ones i can get for you through my company.  Email me at adam@hyper-speed .co.uk  for prices mate.  You seem to be after a few bits from what i have read.  Give me a list of what you want and i can sort you some prices out.  I can get just about anything.

Cheers

Adam

You don\'t see many in yellow. This is the first 3rd gen I\'ve seen without a spoiler. I think it makes the lines look cleaner. Do you have any other pics from different angles. The wheels are cool too... What are they?

Nice motor

See my post above; they are Mazdaspeed MS-02\'s...made by OZ/Rays I think from recollection?

About £600 a corner?

They seriously look so much nicer in real life.

Thanks for the positive words - its the first one i saw and after seeing a few more i decided that was the one, the girlfriend took a bit of talking round.  One problem is that it is a respray - its a good paint job but they didnt do the engine bay so that is first on the list.

Here is a couple of pics on this page

Yep those wheels are definately Mazdaspeed MS02 built By RAYS Wheels
Your Front BAR is TBO type I (fyi)

As for the GT Wings and Others.

How many do you need. If you want a gt wing. There are so many to choose from.

Depends how Huge you want to go.

Mine is a Cusco 3d Carbon wing @ 1600mm wide but waiting for the widebody kit to go on. For a standard FD Make sure its about 1480mm or 1500mm. This seems to be kind of a legality thing.

Also Having the Pylons further apart should remove some of the wobble that some wings have, The mounting system should also be hard to remove. (From a theft point of view.) ie Bolts up from underneath.

Good ones are FEED and Amemiya for this.


Russ.

"Yep those wheels are definately Mazdaspeed MS02 built By RAYS Wheels"

I don\'t think they are mate. If you have a look at the hyper speed website this car is on there and the guy says they are Miglia alloys.

Well spotted Lee :)

The rims on Adam\'s old car are, err, whatever!

The rims on the yellow car are Mazdaspeed MS-02\'s, they have OZ and Rays in the casting I\'m sure. They are made for the FD, right offsets and widths etc and weigh not too much ;)

And are several hundred a corner new. Seems you either love em or hate em from past discussion on FDUK.

same spoiler as i\'ve got mate, looks far better in person and i like it because it matches the height of the roof and you get a perfect unobstructed view out of the rear window :D

looks pretty agressive too i think ;)
