I've always liked the single-wiper look since it reminds me of Touring Cars, but where are these coming from?

Anyone seen the mod for miatas? There's a mod for Hondas that startes the wiper in the center position and sweeps to the left, to the right, and center, but the mod doesn't work on mazdas. Any ideas?

Papa Joe at RSpeed had one on his white car back in the day...

and if you got a "jdm" one off a rhd you'd be stuck, notice how they'd sit in fron tof your face.. maybe someone made em for lhd's?

Undo the nuts that hold the wipers on, remove the drivers side and then take off the passengers then reset the angle, tighten the nut and test the sweep of it. thats how I did it on my old CRX.

Side note that the wiper motor might get strained from one wiper pushing what two are ment to.

Thats exactly what i did, but i want it to sweep more. Those "jdm" ones that are offset look like they sweep more.

It has been, is, and always will be popular with the Volkswagen tuners. Looks mint on an A2 GTi.

Dude, how you gonna have a party and not invite the Club Roadster crew??? What up wit dat bro!!!

As for the Roadster single wipers, the RHD versions might not work on our LHD cars, i think Bill Wilner or MR. Woolery tried it on our cars to no avail. Also, did anyone notice the little helper bracket arm that they have on the single wiper conversions? wondering about that myself.

[retrorocket]

the wiper is question is made by Pit Cre racing and will not work on your LHD cars over the pond !!!

the bracket is completely cosmetic and as such does not pivot at the joints like on factory fit single wipers

they are made from old toyota arms and don't even fit the splined tiper spindle properly, you also only get half of your screen cleaned so I wouldn't bother unless you are really set on the cosmetics ...

mines mono like that too although it was like that before i bought the car, was one of two exterior mods i didnt do, other being rims. i like the look and it works well, i do feel sorry for my passengers though since my license plate and window wiper are like right in their face lol.

I got the actual pivot arm from r-speed a year or so ago. The package was "JDM" and a bunch of japanese writing. It gives the wiper about a 160 degree sweep, and you can set it to sit anywhere. Mine sits real low in front of the driver. I'm using a straightened vw rabbit wiper arm with (I think) a 21" blade. Works fine for me all year round!


edit: found a crappy pic of my car

It was I!

I wasted a couple hundred on the Pit Crew arm thinking I could mod it for LHD, but couldn't get it to work. I sold mine at a loss to some guy across the pond who wears a kilt.

:wink:

This mod is inching its way up on my "new products to-do list." If anyone's noticed me buying up wiper arms on eBay, this is what they're for...

:mrgreen:

Tam,

My brows are naturally discrete.

You're confusing me with someone else, maybe this dude?:
