Wing or No Wing??? - TriStateTuners.com :: Home of Tristate Auto Enthusiast

TurboTagTeam · 08-21-2006, 10:10 PM

I can't decide if I should buy the J-Spec wing for my car. It's an OEM part so the fitment will be perfect. And if i buy it I'm gonna get the MazdaSpeed carbon fiber wing blade so it will be extreamly light.

It does add a couple hundred ponds of downforce at 140mph+ but it's mostly just for looks.

My car with the OEM R1 wing it came with.

The OEM J-Spec wing

wing wing

TalonTsi97 · 08-21-2006, 10:14 PM

I like both, but have always been a big fan of the J-Spec wing.

Evo8kid · 08-21-2006, 10:14 PM

that wing looks good, but i dont know how good itll look with your color, i might have to say keep the one you have.

Seperate note, hows the car doin since i talked to you on thursday?

TurboTagTeam · 08-21-2006, 10:19 PM

No progress. The entire dash harness might have to be changed. It's really frustrating. I haven't had the car for over a month now. I was stolen 2 days after i got back from a month vacation so I'm starting to forget what driving it feels like.

Philly-Night-SR · 08-21-2006, 10:19 PM

I like your stock r1 better

2.0l1zz · 08-21-2006, 10:28 PM

No wing.

Oh, stop bitching. My car was down for 2 years!

TurboTagTeam · 08-21-2006, 10:31 PM

I wouldn't be bitching but, this is my ONLY CAR!!! So i have been without a car for over a month. I need to buy a beater untill the car is fixed.

mmmm, I see. Well, I'd offer you MY beater car, but it needs every ball joint, front struts, and a motor, so that won't do you any good, lol.

Thats a ballsy move to have a rotary as your ONLY car. Even when they run reliably, they're still a mess, hah.

240sxDann · 08-21-2006, 10:35 PM

I deffinitly like the stock one you have now better

Mac @ R/T Tuning · 08-21-2006, 10:38 PM

Lose the wing.

SoStock92 · 08-21-2006, 10:49 PM

I like the wing it has now better

WRX27 · 08-21-2006, 11:29 PM

j-spec wing ftw

2.0l1zz · 08-21-2006, 11:34 PM

I can't get a good feel for the J-spec wing in those pics of the red FD. The HORRIBLE offset on the front wheels is clouding my judgement, lol.

I'm sticking with no wing at all.

Wiisass · 08-22-2006, 12:42 AM

I'm gonna have to agree with the R/T Tuning guys. No wing.

92dxman · 08-22-2006, 12:47 AM

R1 ftw...

Vypurr2 · 08-22-2006, 12:49 AM

R1! ftw again!

james_ls · 08-22-2006, 01:03 AM

I'm with my R/T crew...wingless.
