Ricer Thread

Well if you want the wing y not just take the hole car. Remove the wing and have the rest crushed. It is a win win win win situation. One you get a wing, two you get some cash for the scrap metal, three you are doing the guy a favor, and you get rid of one ricer..................Wait you might not get any thing for the srap metal cus it will probly all fiberglass now but it still would be fun to watch it get crushed

fiberglass is gonna work to my advantage,
a blowtorch with mapp gas will be hot enough to cut around it
so i will have the mounts too lol

so now i have to ride around with a baseball bat, and a blowtorch in my car so i'll be ready for anything lol

is mapp gas hot enough to cut metal tho? thats what i wanna know

Ya mapp gas can cut metal. I have cut 1 and a quartr inch metal a bunch of times. I would just go find a plasma thow be hole lot faster.

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
