Quote from: Initial-D;542160My black wing is made by Sard in Japan - they have there wings on the Super GT cars and also the Time Attack R-Magic car - its 1800mm wide so lots of downforce and for wide boys only lol!!

I had wondered how you were going to mount the front coilovers with no top mounts!
Also with the plates welded in the boot how will you fasten the rear bumper? Actually your not running a stock rear so you probably need not worry!

Thanx..

It wasnt the plan to use stock mounts just an eye on top.
But when talking to AtomicRex we desided just to go with stock mounts.
Because not good to run different set of shocks infront and rear.

The rear mounts are still stock..:Thumbs-up

LOL...:Giggle

That is not dowl pins, these are 12.7mm studs..:2eek
Advantage is much more strengt...

interloper393 · October 06, 2008, 01:08:56 PM

why do you need more strength? sorry for the daft questions lol but iv never heard of the standard ones breaking? do they prevent flex so keep the gaskets n seals intact longer lol

Thats where the strengt come in...:Giggle

Looking good! Will the studs not give you any problems when rebuilding i.e fitting the intermediate plate over the ecc shaft? Are you going to use a sump plate or don\'t you need one now you\'ve got the strengthened studs?

The rebuild will not be a problem as I will use a 2piece e shaft..

Will also us a sump plate, probably don`t need one.
But I will use it anyway..:p
