Poppin my rx8 forum cherry

Check out my 2004 nordic green babe. Just joined the forum always on here stealing everyone's ideas so i thought mise well make a profile. I got a Tenzo R full carbon racing wing, red calipers , full HKS legamax titanium exhaust (sounds beautiful). the rest is bone stock because I'm a broke college student. Check my profile to see pics

The wing is a little much for me. Kinda ruins the clean flowing lines of the car. However, I love the Nordic Green! How's the interior and do you know any of the history on the car?

You aren't going to get much downforce in a straight line at 20mph, where it is really needed, with a wing that small. It needs to be at least 50% larger. Trust me. Been there.

Welcome.

While I usually revel in unappreciated sarcasm, this is a case for a truth intervention.

Lose the ugly *** wing.

With money (and time) i'd like to turbo it maybe. New rims coming (black) and maybe some custom diffusers and wider stance. would like to make it track worthy

The car was at a race car shop! It's what I had! I also had two blown rears with cracked springs, and the fronts weren't much better.

Race car shops also sell giant wings that bolt to the trunk lid with no corresponding front aero, but that doesn't make it right!
