RCM boot spoiler........on or off???


Interested to hear your thoughts, good or bad...thanks

 

Love it, looks fantastic without the spoiler. Just that little bit different.

Nice work!

 

Beast, end of.


What happened with the gizzmo, sounds terminal?

 

Lovin this, looks good without the spoiler.

 

Like that ALOT fella,I prefer the spoiler on tbho

 

Inducing the missfire caused two exhaust valves to bend, so I lost compression in two cylinders. The person who recommended it first offered to "put things right", but then changed his mind. I took it off the road as using it would of just made things worse. You live and learn

 

I'd say go with the spoiler, needs bigger wheels to go spoilerless

 

looks awesome glad to see it back on the road and looking so good i noticed a few familer parts aswell

 

another cracking WMI car !!!!!

 

looks nice, i would say go with the spoiler.

 

Nice car better with spoiler

 

looks sleeperesque (new word?!), with the spoiler and scoop delete and the modest wheels. very nice and a bit different

 

Subarus need spoilers! Its the law!

 

Nice!

 

The Yanks hate spoilers, especially the STI variant. They love the spoilerless look.

 

sc46 billet twin-scroll

 

Spoilerless for me

Nice looking car and good to hear its back on the road

 

 

spolierless makes it look like a mondeo,,, lol

 

Looks very clean and tidy, great seats and the stance is just sweeeeet

 

Looking luscious pal, love it both with and without the spoiler though so can't help ya there dude lol

 

Love it Cliff, but then again I would.

 

Small update,,, sti arms ready to fit, reverse scoop getting there (slowly) and a quick dyno run at API this afternoon delivered this graph.

 

Sweet power/torque curve hammer,bet that really drives well on the road fella

 

Amazing car. Well done

 

Nice figures cliff!

 

Very nice Cliff, the car is a real credit to you and those who've worked on it.

 

like the no spoiler and tucked in mirrors, nice clean look.

Good power curves too!

 

Thanks for your thoughts on spoilerless or not and your comments. Think I may stick the RCM spoiler back on though for the winter...... I miss it a bit.

 

Nice one cliff.
