I used to say it was for down force just to shut people up. I really have it because I like it, I don't care what other people think.

Re: Pics of my car
Down force on the rear wheels will give better tracion on high speed turns , however that spoiler was desighned for respectable high speeds and wont give any real big benefits unless your gonna take a half moon turn at 180 mph on an oval. Tires rated at such speeds are the most important thing then the downforce. If the car isnt lowered it changes the overall funcionability as well , the idea is to create a high speed vacuum under the car so it sticks like a suction cup on the turns. I spent months researching downforce , its such a tricky thing that one little mishap or adjustents off it could have so many power robbing affects. Lifting the rear of the car shifts the wieght to the front and pushing the rear takes wieght off the front losing controllability in tight turns. If a spoiler is set for down force on the rear it will slightly help acceleration and a rear lift will help the rear from sliding out on tight turns. Theres a happy balance in between perfect for all round. I will shut up now , im not getting anywheres lol

Re: Pics of my car
I like the mean and sexy look of the older vr4's but I have to admit i love the way the zx2 looks, I like it more than the vr4 personally, i could do a million custom things to that car , I would never touch the way the vr4's look, there already done up. Id get a plain jane no power nothing am/fm no tape ,no cd , 5 speed with the dohc no spoiler. That would be one sweet sweet ride. It will transform and become 100% unique using only the stock body and stock interior. The ZX2 is my second choice modification project. First choice is the festiva. I have dreams for that car that could possibly be the craziest thing i ever do as a hobby. A friend of mine fabricates small cars to fit big V8's and I have a 5.0 from a 86 grand marquise I was intending on putting into a 85 escort 4 door hatch but put a different 5.0 in the escort instead. I gave that project to the father in law and started rebuilding the 5.0 marquise engine into a cobra 5.0 (still need 2000 bucks and still need a festiva) my buddy will make a rear end and body/frame reinforcements to fit a drive shaft (which will have to be made custom) I think it will work dandy on that 1.4 meter long car if we work hard enough.
So far I believe the zx2 is my fave looking car. But I love lil cars with big monsters in the closet , gives a new meaning to sleeper and costs less for a sterio system. Sorry I blab so much.
