Kognition wing install...
 

Just installed a Kognition wing. 68" span, chassis mount. Installation went smoothly and despite my anxiety over cutting into the body of the car it was easy.

Really looking forward to my next track weekend!

Nice, he makes a damn fine product. Looks killer.

Want.

Sweet!

I approve.

Wait a minute... we left the track last night at like 1AM. Then you drove two hours home and had the wing installed by noon?! Did that 5 hour energy I gave you work a little too well? Lmao

Yup! :ylsuper:

Well, more like 2PM.

And it was so much easier than I thought it would be.

Out of curiousity, how far can you open your trunk now?

not much. I don't use it.

Nice. If I could run a spoiler in PTD/TTD I'd do it! Do they make this wing as a "kit" specific to the RX-8 or is it a custom deal?

Its a specific kit with templates for cutting and everything but its not listed on the website.

Looks great Dave! I'm curious to know how the car will handle with it! That should work really well at INDE with some of the fast sweepers.

We're going to find out this weekend at INDE.

Everything you need is included except the saw you use to cut into the car. Inside the trunk needs a tiny bit of cutting as well in order to get the mounts to fit correctly.

It's a beautiful product, you will love it.

what do you have on the front to balance it?

A front 4-5" splitter will go on soon.

how did you make the short end cuts?

Very carefully with a Dremel. Other cuts were with a Rotozip and a 3.5" cutting wheel.

so unscrew the four side bolts on each side and it lifts out/off?

Correct. I will probably seal it up with something once I decide how high I want it.

thanks for the info

any shots from the back to show how far it sticks out past the fenders??

It doesn't. NASA rules are that it can't be wider than the body work of the car. Wing span is 68" and the width of the RX-8 is like 69.7 if I remember correctly.
