iRoush Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Finished the project up today.Wing supports are in and the trunk is sturdy!Test Fit. Don't know whether I'm just going to eliminate the tethers or figure out a custom mount point.Mounts and uprights painted:Trunk still fully opens without issue.

iRoush Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 So much functional sex! What are the little lanyard dudes for?those are wing tethers. they are used to keep the wing from flying off and hitting cars behind you if you get in an accident that crumples the trunk.

95riosnake Posted April 10, 2013 Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Looks great, the uprights look perfect in satin black. Is the splitter going to be painted or left as-is? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is the splitter going to be painted or left as-is?for now i'm leaving the splitter red. I'll paint it down the road, right now it's not a priority since I'm not trying to make a fashion statement haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Psychorugby Posted April 10, 2013 Moderators Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Does the splitter being so much wider than the car have any negative effects? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iRoush Posted April 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 10, 2013 Does the splitter being so much wider than the car have any negative effects?the splitter is even with the fenders, the photos don't do it justice. it pushes the air around the tire which is a positive (less drag).

PRPVinyl Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Brett, do you think you will have to change the shocks and springs to change the rates due to all of the down force?matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iRoush Posted April 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 Brett, do you think you will have to change the shocks and springs to change the rates due to all of the down force?mattI'm definitely going to have to when I start road racing it. But I was planning on upping the spring rates a bit more anyway since it's not a street car anymore. We'll see how it does at the next event and I'll go from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Det_Riot Posted April 11, 2013 Report Share Posted April 11, 2013 brett do you have front coils? i have like 350+ springs on the front, idk what they are but they're hypercoils and i'd totally trade Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

iRoush Posted April 12, 2013 Author Report Share Posted April 12, 2013 After looking at this picture of the A47 mustang, i realize i can get even more adjustment out of the wing. instead of just using bolts on the top mount, I can use an adjustable rod to add in more angle if i want to. I won't do it, but, the option is there! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
