Elliot Posted January 27, 2005 Share Posted January 27, 2005 I've just been down and looked at mine, it has 3 holes in the 2 supports, rather than the 2 on the one shown. So...guess I'm clear! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
attilauk Posted January 28, 2005 Author Share Posted January 28, 2005 Sorry i have just re read my original post and realised that i hadn't put all the facts in it, there are only 3 of this type of wing that have been officially imported, it is different to the general market Rotora GT Wing in that it is a limited edition 63" wide GT wing (normal ones are 58") and was designed and wind tunnel tested to produce effective downforce, there were only 25 of the 63" wings ever made. They were made as a promotional tool to be fitted to track cars to try and sell Rotora Brakes in the US. hope this clears up some confusion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jake Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 The thief has done him a favour. I bet his RX7 looks a lot better without that Monstrosity on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kopite Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 was waiting for someone to say that! i think it looked ok on the RX7 though, but again the stock one would be better. hope he gets it back though! i hate thiefs!

Whitelightning Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 I must say the spoiler is very OTT, but stealing it isnt any better in my book. I find that extreme styling attracts neanderthals who are in awe and have to pull something off. So keep it simple and loose the whale tail.

Green Peace Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 I guess its going to end up on a Ford Sapphire, or an Orion in the Swindon area I reckon...so should be easy to spot! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Whitelightning Posted May 1, 2005 Share Posted May 1, 2005 Talking of Swindon - I saw a "Huge Rear Spoiler" driving round the other day that had an Ford Escort 16v attached to it. Neither the spoiler or the car had a conventional engine, but were cleverly propelled by "Bass Audio Amplification" technology, or "BAA" to the experts in this field. Luckily I had parked up the Supra in Halfords (How many of you do this?) to walk into town and avoid paying for carpark fees AND avoid killing my side and front skirts in the multi-storey. The grinning youngster was very chuffed with himself, Im sure he was concentrating keeping the aircraft on the ground. I suppose as it was classified as an aircraft, it didn't need road tax, what a stoke of luck because there wasn't a sticker in sight. Isn't it amazing what our younger petrolheads can achieve these days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
