Suprash Posted March 9, 2003 Share Posted March 9, 2003 Well I aint going to say anything on the spoiler, as I think enough has been said already. Hopefully your be at the meet on the 29/3, as I wouldnt mind having a proper look myself. And I see everyone keeps on saying "nice wheels", why...??? I dont see them as anything specail, yet I have heard people say over and over before, "nice wheels", to this type. Or is it that Im just so un-educated in wheels that I cant spot a good set when I see them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nick_karkie Posted March 9, 2003 Author Share Posted March 9, 2003 well who are you ashley to say whether wheels are nice or not....if other people like them then thats their choice.....u like yours and thats your choice to and I wont make any comment on them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Suprash Posted March 10, 2003 Share Posted March 10, 2003 Nik, Dont go getting all defensive mate, firstly I already said that I know fuck all about wheels, I just think the spoke part of it isnt anything special, the spoke's are too wide, I like the deep dish though. And why are you having a go at me when others in this thread have said more damaging things about the way your car looks, at least I wasnt as blunt as some people. Originally posted by Phate Spoiler looks crap I was just giving my opinion as you asked for, and wondering why these wheels seem to be popular. Feel free to comment on mine, as I think mine are a bit simple, but hey, they come with the car...... But seing as I have been told off, I might as well get my monies worth, spoiler looks shit, rip it off and stick the stock back on, This isnt my true opinion, and Im not against it or for it, but your car does need that bodykit. As I said before are you going to the Soho meet as I wouldnt mind seeing your car in the metal. Nice looking car though, and top choice on the Bomex bumper, can I ask where your getting it from and how much...... /No hard feelings/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supradibbs Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 You would not want to put that wing upside down it would have more lift than concorde. Need more of a aggresive rear spat Bomex would be a good choice with the spoiler but maybe not for side skirts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roboldham Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Technically speaking Concorde was not build for lift, rather to attain high speed with low drag for standard levels of lift. And it was white. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supradibbs Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 all aircraft must obtain lift either at slow speed or high at slower speeds lift is more important theroy of flight lesson over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboldham Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 Indeed - so the comment that the wing in question "would develop more lift than Concorde" is moot. R Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supradibbs Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 If you study any proper spoiler you will note that it has a air foil shape but upside down creating the oposite effect to a wiing i.e lift upside down or downforce!! jokes are never funny when you have to explain your self Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roboldham Posted June 8, 2004 Share Posted June 8, 2004 I bet. Fortunately I did comprehend the joke - but if you had used a better example to illustrate the comedic point - for example, "it would generate more lift than a C5 Galaxy", or even "a Jumbo Jet" then the hillarity-meter may have oscillated in a small way. The advantage of applying such logic to the construction of amusing anecdotes is that it often has the added effect of increasing the longevity of the quip, perhaps even becoming part of common speech. Another advantage is that the image of a Supra, with it's notably large arse, combined with that of a heavy-lifter aircraft is one that can further entertain the passing reader. As an interesting aside, I wonder if anyone has considered fitting a delta-wing spoiler to the back of a Supra - at lower speeds the traditional wing-tip vortices found on straighter aerofoils actually exist along the whole wing - therefore may help with low speed cornering, and grip out of bends. At higher speeds the lower front profile shape would exert lower drag, improving performance. You may even consider building in the Concorde-like camber and twist into the delta - to further coax the elusive vortex effect during all conditions.

nick_karkie Posted June 8, 2004 Author Share Posted June 8, 2004 This is a very old thread to be ressurected considering I dont actually own that car anymore, Terry Saunders owns it and it has a TRD wing now instead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
