Speaking of splitters, do those of you using the RM racing splitter feel that it has any positive benefit? At stock height, or only if lowered?

Thanks,

Ted

Wow, if the foil that jzr has can be made adjustable from cockpit controls, look out!

In order to fund my next aero project, the Rhoades Big Ass Ugly wing v1.0, trunklid included, is for sale. The trunklid itself is in pretty good shape, but comes with no third brakelight, or latch and lock mechanisms. It has the 4 holes for an OEM spoiler; I utilized the center two for the spoiler base.

It flat-out works, and you'll feel the planted-ness in the rear of the car the first time you get on the freeway. I'd guess it's worth a full second at the Streets of Willow. It's 5-position adjustable, though with different threaded rod (3/8"), you could adjust it however you want. The hardware is pretty beefy aluminum and should last pretty much forever.

The beauty of this spoiler (if there is any beauty in it at all ) is that the whole thing swaps out with 4 10mm bolts. For less than the cost of some garish and expensive wing, you get something that is known to work, and you can keep your stock trunklid for when you're not going to the track. Or driving around town looking like one baaad mofo.

I'd like to see at least $500 for this little piece of history...

Jason, thanks for the link, that was a fantastic writeup by Doug! I had no idea I would miss so much action by leaving after lunchtime. I'm tempted to buy your wing having already been so impressed with it from the get-go! But yeah, no money, I'll let someone else who needs it snatch it up.

at the dig-up of this thread. Good read nonetheless. It's amazing how the OG's could actually compose complete sentences.
