Since you're interested in the testing of the airtabs....I stumbled upon this article and found it pretty interesting

It's a 4 part article....but the forth part does a test of the airtabs on a car.

http://www.autospeed.com.au/cms/A_3061/article.html

And then there's this option...

Thanks Rally@S... - This is what I was looking to do. I ordered my tabs 2 days ago. I don't think I'll put any on my paint though.
My interest in the tabs is to see if they will help keep the rear window clean. (Fight against dirty boot syndrome)

Hmmmmm, he's got 15-16 tabs on his car and only got a slightly cleaner boot? Maybe I'll put a couple of tabs under the front lip for more stability as the "autospeed" article stated. M7 didn't put them in there diffuser channels for nothing.

yah....from the site:

They do appear to keep the rear window a little cleaner but not enough to definitively say it's an improvement.

The current plan is that I drop my car off this Sunday to begin the process of instaling the sequential shifter system and fabricating the R-53 version of the challenge wing. I should have a update for you as to delivery and price within the next couple of weeks if not sooner .

UPDATE:::..

Well, Dirhong is unable to post anything on NAM right now . Anyways!

Director Hong met up with Alta on June 9th with his sample products and according to him, his deal with alta is looking pretty positive so far.

The mass produce version is higher quality than the custom made sets (only 3 sets were made..).

Here is a youtube clip of the three challenge winged MINIs on a track (+ some others..)

http://kr.youtube.com/watch?v=CJ0j9_YZeTo

I will post up some recent pics in an hour or two!

I've tried to contact Dirhong via the email addresses he's registered with and have received no reply. If he wishes to promote his products on NAM, and you can reach him, please have him Contact Us, and choose the Vendor and Advertising programs option before submitting the information. A rep from Internet Brands will contact him and help him get onto the site as a vendor.

I am heading towards the shop this morning to leave the car for the shifter install and prototype of the wing. We should have the mold done by the end of the week and I will post any updates as they are available .
