Ive decided i want a wing for my car. I want the top to be carbon fibre, and i want the "legs" (where it attaches to the trunk) to be spread wide. I am going to be doing track days and it will help me out at high speeds plus, I think my car has the look and can pull it off :mrgreen: . Ive attached a picture of the ideal wing im looking for, if anyone can lead me in the right direction ide appreciate it.

That S2000 looks like it has an APR GTC-300 on it. It's kind of stuck between rice (lots of F&F cars used them) and functional from what I've read, but they are reported to work not that much worse than a true, tested wing.

There's quite a bit of science in building a functional wing, I dropped out of aeronautical engineering after 2 quarters :lol:

If you're willing to shell out the cash, Axis Power Racing could sell you one along with a trunklid that weighs (for both together) 9 lbs :shock:

Matt's old car (the first SCC Project Miata) used to have one.

i personally like the APR GTC-200, but yea APR has good stuff so might wanna check out their site. this is the APR GTC-200 on my 92'.

please note that 3uno5 has the "drag" style stands, which is why its so low. apr offers the same wing airfoil itself with different stands, up to 10" high.

here is apr's wing selection.

and referring to the axis trunk lid/wing combo, looking back at the scc article, it was just an axis power racing trunk lid, weighing 4lbs, and the apr gtc-200 wing which weighs 8.5 lbs (the wing itself is 4lbs, and the stands are 4.5lbs), compared to a stock, spoiler-less, trunk lid @ 14lbs.

i cant seem to find a spoiler/trunk on their website. . .could u possibly get us a link

Zoom Engineering FTW!!!!!!!

Not CF, but functional, proportional, and dman sexy. =D>

2 different APR companies.

Axis Power Racing made the lid.

APR performance makes the GTC-200. I will be running one of these on the new car.

Just something to note, the further back the wing sits the greater downforce it can put on the rear wheels. Wings that sit directly over the trunk are not as efficient a design as the same wing mounted further back.

Thank you for clearing that up, Matt. I was getting a little confused myself.

lol, i didn't even make the connection of axis power racing being in acronym form. i always called it axis, or axis power racing. sorry for the mixup!

its a trade off. because if you put the wing behind the rear wheels, it begins to actually lift the front wheels off the ground.

..if it has enough force, that is.

You can use a smaller aerofoil or less AOT, and get less drag and the same downforce.

:shock: perect! Where i buy a wing like that....for half the price? I looked at the APR selection before i made this thread and i like the gt-300 wings for supras and such but they are way to big.

 

[muskaroxs]

I have the axis power racing, trunk lid with molded wing......
