Thumbs up

C West ones I think?

Should be on Japan Parts but will be a bit I think, if the price is ok with you let me know what the total cost is shipped that they give you and I should be able to do better for you.

All those wings are horrid.
Get a WRC wing T. They have definitely been developed to provide aero downforce.
May as well, the rest of it already looks 90% WRC

That Voltex wing is hot! At speeds over 150kph they would definitely generate some downforce. But they are all adjustable, it would be import to get the angle of attack right, its a balancing act, if the angle is too great the air separates from the underside and they stop generating downforce, therefore drag is reduced, just before that angle, downforce is at its greatest, but so is drag. This is the principle behind the 'F-duct' used on several MY10 F1 cars. It is definitely a science.

dont worry. Tino is rich enough to buy a wind tunnel.

Unless you get the real-deal SWRT WRC wing (made by Cosworth Engineering in the UK) the multivane wing would be way too heavy...also the uprights were designed with sideways stability in mind....ie when the car is sliding on a loose surface rather than tarmac.
IMO GT wings are probably functional but look ridiculous on anything but a dedicated race car.
So that leaves us with the standard STI wing which actually produces reasonable downforce and stability at speed....an good idea would be to probably add a Gurney flap, but there was only one mob making them for GD wings and they no longer manufacture them. I also think it is a good idea to add a central upright to stop vibration since the standard wing blade vibrates like buggery at any sort of speed.

Agreed! They look great but all about the sideways g force it generates. Like a speedway car.

I dont much like them either fag. When are you ever getting sideways at 150kms/hr anyway? Not like a wing will stop the scare at collie.

wind tunnels are for old skool most testing is done through CAD programs these days, only limited wind tunnel testing is done on the finished product
