wow im impressed with batman's fd. i like his black on black with the drill slotted rotors behind and chrome/silver caliper....had a definite contrast.

 

this guy loves powercoating! his engine bay looks pretty much stock eh? check out his tires

 

some front shots

 

rear end

 

sweet. The MS front is very nice !

 

The wing on the 7 is VERY tall....to the point of excessive.

 

It is pretty damn big ....shopping cart

 

Wing is NASTY

Anything that tall has to be compensating for something. Other than that - kool cars...

 

I wish i had a 7, but other wise sweet colloection.

 

what a fabulous way to ruin an otherwise stunning FD....sigh :p

 

Wing Is Nasty !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

your 8 is very nice
sorry i feel the same as everyone on that rx7 wing

 

That wing is Idiotic Looking! Ruins the car!

 

wth is up with that gigantic wing........... anyways the 8 looks great!

 

i like the 8 and the 7's color and how everything's put togehter. but the wing i have to admit it looks like crap. looks worse than domestics. but my guess is that it has a purpose for performance...but then again the engine is pretty much stock. bah oh well

2 rotaries..WHO CARES!!???

 

i wish my old karate class had that wing..would have been great to chop it! HiiiYah!

 

Yeah who cares. Nice cars but not mine to play with.

 

The wing does work at 80+mph.

Car feels planted at speeds.

I did have the stands custom CNC milled and miscalculated the height by 2"~.

I'll correct that at a later date after I do a few runs at Laguna Seca.

I think I'll shave a couple inches off the width (right now it's at 71").

The car is setup to make a little over 400RWHP at 15psi.

I took the car to the weigh station and got 2750lbs wet.

I ran the car with stock tires at 18 psi and had tire spin at 80MPH in 3rd gear on the turn.

Hence the reasoning for the wing.

Looks like a few people have been fooled by the "stock" look of the engine.

Apparently, there are many on this board that don't know what to look for in mods. That's the intent of my powder coated wrinkle black for that stock look "officer"

Here is list of what I have:

HKS SS BOV
K&N intake replacement
Greddy SMIC
Efini Y-Pipe
Ceramic coated UIM/LIM, intake and intercooler pipes
Intake pipes
Ported UIM
Upgraded secondary injectors tp 1300cc
Power FC ECU with Commander
DP
MP
CB
Strut bar
Koni adj shocks
Ground Control coil overs
Addco sway bars
17x9 all around SSR GT1 rims
A032r 255ft and 275 rr tires with a UTA of 60

etc......

 

 

I hope that those pictures arent justification for the height of your wing off the deck. Otherwise, very nice FD

P.S since you seem to be into racing, do you have the L/D ratio and/or Coefficient of lift values for that wing, I would be interested in that. I have never bought a wing so I dont know if that info comes with it

thanks

i have a few friends that work at NASA and Lockheed.

My father flew F-104s.

They told me that the functionality would be greater if the inverted wing is in the "jet stream."

I need to clear the roofline.

Looks like i miscalculated an ince or 2.

 

Nice cars. Someone should tell the bat that no matter how big his wings are, bats can't fly once they're on the ground...

 

the wing has given me a few chuckles.

ONe time a cop was going to give me a fix it ticket and he didn't see the wing and slammed his shoulder in it and yelped.

Tears were rolling down my eyes.

 

I respect your car and your hp numbers
but that wing is still HUGE to say the least

and what does a ferrari and maserati have to do with it?

 

hey batman I've seen your car at almaden mazda two months ago I recognize the wing was that you?
