Do you think that if this spoiler was extended forward to the glass it would keep the back end cleaner?

 

It IS a functional spoiler, adds downforce, needs air flow

**** Don't worry about dirt when you are racing *****

Besides, it won't be available for sale(as a part) till next fall-winter ( I tried to order one)

The car gets released around July 2006, no price yet

 

I was thinking of fabbing up something similar to this design for people who don't race but just want to keep the boot a little cleaner.

 

Cool, post pics if you do ...Good idea

 

out of what material? what are ur thoughts in correctin' this design?

 

Not sure on the material, but it will be light. I wouldn't actually be correcting this design, just kinda going on what is already there, but making a few changes to accomplish the task.

 

The only way to keep the back end clean is to remove the spoiler. The spoiler creates a low pressure area at the boot which allows all the dirt to get sucked in.

 

Umm, I don't have a spoiler on my cabrio. It gets dirty as much as the next Mini.

 

I like this one....

 

I was wondering about that too goaljnky. I was just on a run Sunday in rainy weather behind a cabrio and the back of that thing was just as filthy as my car.

 

Shea, that one is pretty cool. Does it say "ARORAY" design?

 

I am so proud of myself, I found out who makes that wing. In the window behind the wing is theri website. Took me a damn long time to figure out that O was a Q. who woudl have thought. anyways anyone wanting to go to Japan to pick up some of these?
Thanks

ok sorry wrong link.

yup, that's arqray (some name huh?!!?). Expensive stuff, about 1k. Looks mighty nice and it's adjustable. Reminds me of the Mugen Civic wing.

 

Hmmm...so dirty means downforce in the rear....the dirtier the better then!!!!!

 

I definitly want the arqray rear wing.. I'm still waiting for their full North American launch.. which was supposed to happen last year. Only few parts for the elise is available right now..
I asked about the wing with a import store and they can get it but it's going to cost $1,200+

 

They don't even list the American website anymore. Not sure if they still have the plans bring it over here.

 

Not to highjack the thread, but they offer more products:

Arqray Design - MINI Cooper S

Their American destributor is Sector 111. I dropped them an email to see if they would consider bring the MINI products over as well as the Lotus products they already sell. If you are really intrested, I am sure a couple of well placed emails may persuade them: info@sector111.com

 

the dirt actually gets sucked/pushed up from the bottom of the rear fascia! so a rear diffuser might help well at least thats my excuse to get one

 

i love this, how much is it tho? We can always have Kenchan negotiate a group buy for us.

 

joker, I was talking to Randy from m7 and he said his car stays cleaner than the rest when he's on a run. coincidence?

Scuderia, too funny man!

 

no coincidence, that diffuser really werks!!
good enough reason for me to hang it on my ride its comin' in spring
BTW i didnt even think of askin' Peter & Randy about it...thx. for tha info pal.

 

what in tha world do u like about this thin' d0oD!?!?!?

 

why would you always take me so serious guys, c'on, not you Jokie

 

jus checkin'
