What did you do to your Type R today?

[Volksparts]

Put on my caruse wing. So far I'm impressed with the fit and design.

Volksparts,

Help an old man out to understand the benefit of this wing?

Is it to be unique, more curvy, stylish, faster or is it supposedly meant to improve down force?

Aerodynamically it appears it’ll provide less down force compared OEM because it’s not as flat. Even with more trailing edge rise, looks like too much air will basically fall off the sides. It’s nice looking but OEM seems to fit tight at outer edges where there’s a small gap visible in one pic (worst possible angle maybe).

Was this one expensive and does it come in other materials/finishes?

You’re quite the early adopter, experimenter, or solution designer and I always look forward to what you’ll do next.

Thanks for sharing, just trying to understand the why?

P.S. - I get home from vacay tomorrow and ASR CF badges came yesterday (297 days), CF scoop nearing completion at day 315.

I'd imagine it could increase the downforce if done properly. Imagine an airplane wing with the flaps up.

What's up brother Dave. Yeah like tinyman was saying it's meant to create downforce to help you have more traction on the road. I mainly became interested in this specific wing after I was actually interested in the verus P10. The verus has wind tunnel testing which they had done in conjunction with the front splitter and rear diffuser which seemed to help the aerodynamics. I'm one of those people that loves to test different parts and that's what makes owning cars more enjoyable. To see whether or not they seem to help. Just like you would any suspension part or performance part it's fun to test out. So I ordered the caruse wing back in May since it was a lot cheaper than the verus P10. I just received it though because it was still in the design process. Turns out I ended up also ordering the verus P10 on Black Friday which should arrive tomorrow. I plan to test out both of them. But I also have to say that I do enjoy the look of both of these wings just like you enjoy red on your car ?.

Thanks D. You amaze me as if it exists, you try it and see. Wish I had your skill set and budget.

Appreciate the wing details,

I look forward to OEM/Verus/p10 comparisons from your point of view along with anything else you tinker with.

Interesting that you saw that. Good eye. Here is the link I bought from but I've seen several vendors selling these.

Thanks found some on amazon.ca, save a few bucks on shipping

Checked Carbon Zone Poland lately?

38 total FK8 products, 7 exterior, 31 interior.

I know some of you have full/partial sets but they have lots marked NEW although some not available. Red is thing for them too.

Old news maybe but I drool lots and lose track of time.

Happy Independence Day everyone!

On the same subject of electronic gadgets, has anyone ever used or thought about using a product like this as an alarm if someone tries to steal your expensive, after-market wheels and tires?

https://www.onlinecarstereo.com/Car...j3n-zYHgyR8-EmaUzHV7Hfi6GeSz4WioaAudaEALw_wcB

I have that together with few other sensor like glass break sensor, motion sensor..

You need the actual viper alarm module or compustar module in order for the sensor to work.
I also put a back up battery so car theft cant just disconnect main battery to kill the siren.
I also put GPS on the car so i know where exactly it is.

One night someone did came on my driveway trying to break in my car, alarm set off, he then slashed all 4 of my new PS4S before he left. i run out to my car and he is already gone

Caruse

Caruse

How much are they and is it carbon fiber?

 

[MadMage]

First track day, for me and the car. Arizona Motor Sports Park with Pro Auto Sports.

Totally stock, can see that I'm going to want new tires soon. Amazing how quick this car it.

Any noticeable heat soak?
