I could not resist.....

I know where I am getting this from. I am quite happy with it. Lucky that Mia likes it too.

 

.... not a very good picture ....

 

hey you need to take some photos of it outside...
and the whole car too!

 

That is why I could not resist to take one now... I am going to take a picture when I have the front skirt and rotary accent put on... a sunny day... with a better camera.

 

did you win the bid
from amuse??

lol
congrats looks great

 

Nice. Now it even slower than slow with 2 spoilers.

Cheers,
Hymee.

 

......... talking about drag coefficient with and without a wing. Do you want me to dig some figure from MazdaSpeed wind tunnel test of the MS bodykit?

From the Mazda's RX-8 book. Stock car coefficient is about 0.32 (maybe I am not sure) and drop to 0.31 with factory wing.

I have to find out what is the MS wing figure.

Yes Hymee with the wing setup in the picture, it will drag more and slow the car --- but we are talking about 160km/h to create downforce. Not on 80kmh on the road.

 

why not do 230Km/hr?????

:p

 

Look at Dr. Arthur ... still OCD on other people's top speed...^^"

 

Only having a lend of you, Taka.

But you are wrong in believing the drag coefficient - it is a coefficient, a ratio, not the absolute drag force. You could have more total drag on a slippery-er shape. C'mon doctor!

Cheers,
Hymee.

AMG got out of the wrong side of his chair this morning.

 

AMG losing money on sharemarket this morning.

Should be pulling teeth instead

 

Rice!

Whoops .... stupid typos .... I'm sure I meant to type:

Nice!

 

rice is nice in japanese

 

Sweet, Got one just like it :D

Did you fit it yourself?
Nice and easy.

 

.... I would not say it is nice and easy. Although have a template worked out but it is still guess work. I found the base is meant to be a touch off - took us an hour to figure out the best position.

DragToys... which position did you set the pin to?

I believe there is a proper definition of "rice". At least the MS wing is functional and proven to help at high speed corner. I would not put that in if I am not tracking the car. At least I have it in an RX-8 not the EK Civic

 

There is a proper definition of rice. The factory spoiler is not rice. Having 2 - well.... hmmm.

taka,

Who install the spoiler for you?
Where did you buy it?

 

Taka

Your rear spoiler could allways double up as a clothes line for your new babies nappies , knowing the Melbourne weather its hard to hang up the washing outdoors .J/K

I am sure MIA would approve .ha ha ha

cheers
michael

 

TAKA:

It is NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE!

cheers,

richie

 

in next weeks episode:
Taka puts a spoiler on a spoiler on a spoiler!

Just kidding mate. Looks neally rice!

 

Never thought of that.

My first thought that it matches my newly developed double chin :D

Any rear spoiler is rice then if you don't like it, right? (there is hardly a spoiler really increase speed properly. Providing that MazdaSpeed went wind tunnel for it. This is the least rice spoiler.

Original asked me a question: I brought it off AMUSE... install it with a guy in Clayton. It is not hard - 4 bolts and some double tape. Real bargin. As you know I am not likely to pay $2400 for a wing hehe.

 

Some great examples of customising at that site.

Not sure where I found it, but this Skoda is a masterpiece of hopeful customising:

 

And the "To Die For" interior:

 

D:D look at the TV with the ORGANIZER below. D:D

 

And a little closer to our own beloved RX8, is this tastefully customised MX5. I think it's a Madillac....

Something for us all to aim at.

Apologies Taka, I'll stop hijacking your thread now.
