well this exact one as i bought it off ada7 on here, a veilside one.
but what i want is this style....
(http://i36.photobucket.com/albums/e12/asthier/stuff/back.jpg)
but theres loads..... i dont want anything thats mahoosive nor do i want it to be to wide and stretching out past the sides of the car.
anyone got pictures of different ones or suggestions etc? and i definetly do not want one of those halfreuds specials!
can i have your old one?
i have a Re-Amemiya one, its very similar to the stock pre 95 one except its wider and curves up instead of down.
ill get some pics when i can if you want
Thats Adas old RX :D
For spoilers, its got to be big and its got to be carbon!
odula do some nice ones :god
i like the veilside and the 99 spec mazdaspeed
Try this guy to look at new wings
I used one of these wings are they are very good!

Rex, I like the one in your Avatar, a full width GT wing.
For me personaly a wing either has to be subtle, or GT.
:)
That is the one I put the link up for....you need to make end plates and mounts for them....but to be honest compared to the price of some wings its great
Is it similar to this one?

Ah I didnt check the link, bit retarded today (2hours sleep)
I prefer the Feed and RE-A ones as those in the link are totally full on. One of the C-West ones is nice too but the feet are near the centre which I\'m not keen on.
I\'ve got a mazdaspeed one on mine, but I must admit I like the spoilerless look on the fd too.
if you go spoilerless fella ill have the mazdaspeed if i can.
i should really do a wanted add for spoiler swap me thinks :chat

i like that style guys, but not somet tooo full on like on that ebay advert....
the picture i put up is a bit more subtler... yeah ill be selling my spoiler when i find one i like :)
Tonyc, are you going for the Benetton colour scheme?
Fish
:D
Bumpers being painted green at the mo.
Tony,
What are your fixings like on the rear?
Mine were attached straight to the rear tailgate, and there was so much flex in the ali that it was noticeable in the wing.....wobbled like a bugger out on track.....think it probably produced more drag than downforce!
Quote from: markrx7The picture i put up is a bit more subtler
waaa! thats my motor! *cough* Anyway here are a couple more pics i dug up for you of the spoiler from diff angles
im afraid im not sure what spoiler it is though.. i found it on ebay but it wasnt a buy it now so sod knows where they come from.

Aye, it mounts straight onto the tailgate - but - I can\'t run a large wing like that in the championship anyway so it\'ll have to stay off.
Have you got other shots of the wing, Tony? IE length and curvature. Will you be willing to sell it?
Cheers,
John

thats pretty much exactly what im looking for!! the correct style & not to OTT.... shame u dont know which one it is :( damn....
what did you search for on ebay? universal spoiler ?
I just did a search under rx7 and it came up, the previous owner had a 7 as well sorry i can\'t be anymore help :(
lol, ok mate, maybe you can help a lil bit... can you measure the width of it? coz i dont want anything wider than that....
sure will do when it stops snowing, mean time check this out
http://page13.auctions.yahoo.co.jp/jp/auction/r33512003
looks nice...
ive decided i wanna go taller than urs... but the width is correct so yeah when you venture out into the cold that would be good :)
how do i get that page translated btw? just loads of squres on my home and work comp?
Stay small!
If you want to get better downforce do something with the top of the rear window, too tall and you just creating drag, and if you get it right you need to complement it with a front splitter so that you dont get huge amounts of understear. Big wings have their place but your fuel economy and top speed will suffer because of it.
try using the google translation

ok understood mate! didnt realise it was as complex as that when choosing a spoiler lol.

Too wide?
J
lol
"Measures 1600mm wide, making it one of the widest available on the market," that says it all doesnt it lol...
ill get a tape measure out and see how far it stretches across my boot lid.... its a hard decision coz its somet thats gonna be real obvious....
I like this. Think its off a celica gt4
Well, i\'ve bought one, :) hopefully will look ok
width of the car is over 1700mm so 1600mm should be ok!
J
I dunno if you would be interested in mine at all mate?..

Not the best I\'m afraid, but as car is not here at mo its all I\'ve got of it..
Sits quite nicely where it is and is just the right size and height in my opinion.
Its also been dipped by alloy wheel refurb company, so is not immaculate in Gunmetal Grey.
Also, rear blade is adjustable to whatever angle you choose.
Let me know what you reckon.
Alex
looks ok to be honest mate, just realised what car this is now dude, love the rest of the kit, fair play :D
but.... i do have one gripe with it... i dont like how the feet sit close together, which is a big thing for me, with a long shot, can you move them further apart?
Without the car here at the mo, I cant really tell. But I dont know if its spot welded together or not, or if brackets are screwed to spoiler blades.
hmm good question!
ok mate ill wait to here from ya finding out if it is or not, coz that would be the deciding factor for me :) if it does then im sure we can work somet out :)
if not then my search continues :(
will do mate. I\'ll let you know when I see the car, as its in Haywards at mo.
99 spec :D
