For some reason I love this enormous wing. Reminds me of the Forza 2 Mini I built.
I'm sure this will help keep the Mini planted on the straights at Lime Rock!

I guess under the right circumstances I could see this being okay. But I must caution you -- in so doing you could be accused of straying into commission of one of the deadly ricer sins, to wit:



Proceed with caution and rational thought.

That's hilarious. But your diagram neglected to reflect the huge torque gains from unpainted primered fenders!!!

I can see where you're going with this, but if the car has no back seat, matching lip in the front and harnesses, it may de-rice-ify the look. More of GP tribute if you will...

I really like that wing, I can't afford it though. If I could I'd be all over it.

Since Phil posted the tread I'm closing this one and moving it to exterior where it belongs
