...... You dont understand. That spoiler has no benefit. It is there simply to look good, To whom it may concern. Even most factory wings dont do shit, They are there to look good. Thats why i am calling you a ricer for wanting one on your supra. Its the same thing as if you slap a vtech sticker on the back. Of course it doesnt mean your car is a vtech, As of course the wing isnt going to plant your car any better.

BTW, mapp gas is not hot enough to cut sheet metal. You need an oxy-acetelene torch to cut steel.

ok were not goin anywhere with this
its kinda a evo vs sti type of thing

what about this
lets agree to disagree
i think it works
you think it doesnt

i think it has benefits
you think its for looks

what about that , agree?

Isphius 08-28-2006 07:24 AM

I agree, But i dont think it doesnt work, It just doesnt. Its a property of physics. I Know it will make some downforce if and math geeks read this....But i dont feel like explaining why it wont matter.

A functional wing on a car creates downforce. Downforce is "drag", so saying the wing reduces drag is just plain silly. If you think any of those big ass ugly alluminum wings will do anything to your supra besides slow it down you need a lesson in physics. First of all your Supra (even if it was running, which it is not) doesnt make enough HP to benifit from a wing. Even if you tripled your HP, you still wouldnt need that wing. If you like to drive your Sup' on the freeway at over 100MPH around high speed corners, you might see some small benifit to rear wheel traction, but you would be sacrificing speed to do it. Supras are already heavy enough, trying to add downforce to a mostly stock street driven Supra is like trying to add a leafblower to your intake for more air intake...its a good theory, but doesnt work in practice! The drawbacks far outweigh the benifits.

2NR, you know I like you...I consider you "my boy" but you and I have very different tastes and experiences. I get a good chuckle most of the time reading your posts. But, dude, you're getting pretty ricey yourself...and if I were you I would refrain from making too many jokes about other peoples "rice" until you look in your own bowl

lol, well.. i dont think a big wing on a supra looks that ricey.. i saw a civic today.. lowered, white rims, painted lime green with some yellow/white/black design.. it had a cowl good? for what purpose is unknown.. a white grill.. 2 foot wing.. body kit... yellow interrior... okay, enough said. now thats rice.. i dont see how he's getting to rice? white interrior? it looks good from the pics i saw.. he doesnt have a wing yet, and probibly wont get one unless its free becuase he probibly needs money for other things. my opinion.. unless im missing the rice things about his car?

Isphius 08-28-2006 04:27 PM

Its his ideas. You dont have to go totally rice in order to be a little rice. But then again a lot of supra owners rice out their cars, And some do a dam good job at it. But they dont put aluminum wings on that everyone will make fun of. lol.

theWeezL 08-28-2006 05:44 PM

Well, lets see...Wooden front lip, painted white interior, neon kit inside...wants a big wing...getting a little ricey to me. But like I always say, to each his own. I just think if your gonna laugh at ricers, you better look in the mirror first to make sure you're not making fun of yourself.

newbsupra 08-28-2006 08:15 PM

yea.. i always used to make fun of big mufflers.. but my muffler is huge now, but, it really suites the supra in my opinion.. i think it looks sweet. oh well. and i dislike the neon idea.. i hate neons lol

Supra2NR 08-29-2006 02:24 AM
