actually, yes I do. I prefer auto cross over drag racing. But I got the hydraulic spoiler because if I do drag race then it tilts back for more aerodynamics.

Re: Pics of my car

does the whale tail throw you off on windy days? what do you use for frontal down force? only having the rear wing can create alot of improper down force problems and controll issues.

To be completely honest with you, the wing does not affect the handling at all on windy days. I bought the wing because I found that while autocrossing, the rear end liked to kick out which meant it had plenty of frontal downforce, the wing helps alot by putting more weight on the rear end of the car. at low speed the wing is up for maximum down force and at high speeds it has lower downforce and bet speed. In auto cross you want slow in, fast out.

As far as the wing creating control issues and improper downforce, it now handles like no other car that I have ever driven.

Have you ever tried fingering a girl and shifting at the same time?
I have mastered that technique.
The backseat of a zx2 doesn't offer a lot of room while having sex.

Well I just found this forum and i was bored so i thought that i would say something to get some attention. When you are stuck in an office on a base in turkey things tend to get boring.

Re: Pics of my car

Downforce?? WTF?? It's a FWD man.. That wing does nothing.. Not to be an asshole or nothing but a wing on a FWD will NOT provide any downforce on the front wheel's.. It dont give it any better traction. Don't give it any better handling..Anyway's, Nice car. I'm looking into getting a ZX2 myself.

youre right, skater. a rear wing doesnt provide downforce on the front wheels. however, his car still has REAR wheels, and yes they do a HUGE part in keeping that vehicle on the track. acceleration isnt the only thing a car does you know. when you take a turn, weight shifts forward onto the front wheels. while thats happening, the weight is coming off the rear, and they will break lose. that is the whole point of his wing.

Re: Pics of my car

Yes, I agree.. But there's no need for a "double deck" ricer (dont get offended) wing on the back end of that car.. IMO.. I understand about the weight shifting but at low speed's I don't think its gonna make much of a difference.. Although I might be wrong..
