Double Height STi Spoiler - Why?

[Ran]

Cell Phone Pic FTW

I see this guy on Hwy.92 all the time on my way to work. He has raisers for his STi wing so that it's literally twice as tall as normal. It stands higher then the roof does now. The wing itself actually bounces when he hits a bump. I can't help but laugh at it.

Seriously, WTF?

[wantboost]

some sti drivers.......

edit: i can see now ROFLROFLROFLROFLROFLROFL

I think its a cool functional mod. Now he can use his rear view mirror!

I think its a cool functional mod. Now he can use his rear view mirror!I was assume so anyway. The spoiler sits higher than the car's roof.

[eYezs1ck]

that shiet is about to take off....any minute now

[EclipseE16g]

better sight of the rear view

[SiRed94]

i bet i could jump through it...

[BlkCD5]

it would suck if it ever fell off

[DieselNuts]

it would suck if it ever fell off
it would look better if it did

[Ed]

ive seen that car. i laughed at him too. lol what a retard

[merfwin]

lol he should put a delta airlines sticker on there!

[AnthonyF]

flip the car upside down, now you got a back hoe.

-Ant.

[NAIZBST]

isn't it a chargespeed spoiler extension

[Ran]

isn't it a chargespeed spoiler extensionCould be. I have no idea. The car actually wouldn't be that bad if he's just lose the retarded wing extension. It's got a nice front lip, wheels, and what-not.

i hear the stock sti wing added 50lbs to the downforce @ 100mph..

[Imadaman]

niice find.

[Sport1.3]

Atleast he doesnt have a non-functional hood scoop :D

maybe that's the Subaru equivalent to spacing the hood up on a Honda.

el oh elz @ him and his mom

The stock STI wing makes a significant difference at 150mph at Road Atlanta, the car is much more stable with it. That wing looks stupid but its probably a lot more functional up there in clean air. On the same note though that guy is probably never going to go to the track.

Shimming the hood? Its for mad downforce and underhood cooling bro! :lmfao:


*has shimmed hood*

I have this picture in my head of an sti and the airflow over the roof is being sucked down under that wing.

I may be wrong though, i might work ina wind tunnel.

[csmiths]

I've seen this car on Barrett, that wing looks retarded. It is massive and from the side it just looks stupid. But the car would look good if he didn't have that huge wing

[EJ25RUN]

?? u mean these?



3 things.

1. the car in the op is a 04 and 05 so it doesn't have that second wing element on the back of the c pillar.

2. You can see how the airflow is naturally sucked downward after it hits the roof so basically in my head, the wing that guy put on the car would be missing the air coming down from the roof.

But thats how i see it in my head, might no actually work that way.

3. I cant read anything in your second pic.

[Batlground]

That picture isn't showing downforce its actually showing lift, to know how effective the wing is you would have to know how much lift is created without the wing.

Chargespeed extension... im going against the grain on this one. It MAKES that car imo. Would be my first mod if I had an sti. I love that ****.

weirdo! thats right by my house!

weirdo! mine too!

[Z0_o6]

definately no good. im thinking of taking the wing OFF of my sti. get a RS trunk for DD and keep the big wang trunk for whenever.

[whitekoop]

I have seen this guy a couple times lol

that picture is in russian, it was from nasioc,

at the test of it was done at 144kmh....

thats all the info i got from it..

[shortysm22]

just so it's bigger than the evo wing lol

[andycivic]

awww let him rock it if he wants... he is probaly going for a wrc tarmac look with the prodrive wheels and the sexy front lip hes got on it... i say rock what ever u want.... WOW that was a super nice burn on the sh#tstang... :bump: lol plus mustang owners cant knock a big wing... if ford never had put that park bench on the back of a cobra r then u might could knock it....

[DUBSf22c]

this thread makes me roffle

[Ed]

i saw this car two days ago...


lol

[Fuster_Cluck]

Atleast he doesnt have a non-functional hood scoop :D

:goodjob:

[Ed]

the car would actually be super clean if that huge double decker wasnt there.

i saw it coming from behind from afar, and i thought that **** looks good, but after he passed me i was like :wtf:

[Ran]

Atleast he doesnt have a non-functional hood scoop :DMy car came with it. I didn't voluntarily put it there. Bit of a difference. :goodjob:


WOW that was a super nice burn on the sh#tstang... :bump: lol plus mustang owners cant knock a big wing... if ford never had put that park bench on the back of a cobra r then u might could knock it....I think the Cobra R wing is rediculous as well and have no problem laughing at the guys that put it on their cars. You sound like just another biased Mustang basher so I'll pay you no mind. I could go off on Civics (judging by your username), but I'm sure you're already familiar with the majority of the burns.

[iloveboost]

I saw him on 75S one night on my way to Pink Pony South. He got owned hard and I gave him the jump, lol. I went from 3rd gear and by 4th gear I had a bus on him. He did a flyby on me after that and got off on the West Paces Ferry exit.

I was like, "Either I'm really effin sleepy and can't see straight or that's the biggest f#%&ing wing I've ever seen on an STi."

[Ed]

lol this explain the whole thread... good job. reps

[Gorilla Eg!]

that things is so damn huge its probably providing some LIFT instead of any sort of downforce :dunno:

[x Resilience]

I've seen it at Varsity last night. Its ridiculous

[Sport1.3]

My car came with it. I didn't voluntarily put it there. Bit of a difference. :goodjob:


So you're saying you voluntarily bought a car with a strictly aesthetic hood scoop yet have the gull to make fun of STi owners for their choice in ridiculous wing risers? :D


domestic ricer :lmfao: i kid

[itsnotarex]

Atleast he doesnt have a non-functional hood scoop :D

He got you there, dude.

But yeah the wing is retarded. Maybe he really likes talking to cops or something. I like the OEM STI wing, huge as it is. It is actually functional. It does add 50-60lbs of downforce at high speeds, but that thing would probably create more lift than anything. Geeeez.

[Ol' Gregg]

i have seen that car.... its cool, i wouldnt do it but im not gonna hate. it is BIG though

[Nitro]

Atleast he doesnt have a non-functional hood scoop :D

[hybrid90accord]
