Hi Guys and Girls,

Im looking for a change and am thinking of taking off the rear wing but before i do i thought id ask the people who have already done it a few questions.

1, did it have any negative affects on the handling?
2, how did you fill holes? im thinking some rubber bungs but unsure of size and where to get them from.
3, any pictures?

cheers.

 

1. i havent noticed anything bad from not having a wing. maybe some some high speed runs may be a problem.

2. i found a boot with no holes in from new.
you can use bungs, carbon stickers etc, or have the holes filled.

3.

 

1. Going from a std mid level Impreza spoiler I can say I have spotted no upset to the handling, there may be some difference in moving from a larger Sti 5,22bb or proper track spoier though.
2. I used vinyl to cover my holes
3.

 

Does anyone know of a windtunnel test or something that documents the wings effect? I did see a bugeye test once, some russian site (thank god for google translate), it showed the bug wing to be very effective..

 

cheers,

im gunna be off for a few weeks (recovering from a knee op ), i think i'll give it a go.

i could always just bolt it back on.

any more pics would be much appreciated.

DaOne - where did you get the lip spoiler from?

 

not my car but some inspiration

 

its from a bmw e46 m3. around £70 from the dealers

 

I really want to de-spoiler mine.

 

There might be one or two more pics over here

 

cheers.

some good looking cars there.

just have to decide weither to keep the sti8 scoop on or get rid, i like the ABW reverse scoop.
