V8 Supercar Rear Wing

[phunky_monkey]

Hey all,

Was having a good look at the rear wings off of a Holden V8 supercar over the weekend and wouldn't mind trying to get my hands on one for my car. Does anyone here have any connections to sourcing one of these secondhand/not using anymore/last years wing etc??

Thanks

Dane

Sorry mate, my contacts are with Ozemail and Stone Brothers so Ford only.

ahhhh drats!!

Geoff, do you think that they'd have any of the wings off of the older cars, or development series?? I saw some of the utes had the T wings, which is what I'm looking for...

i've got a sard 3D GT wing (JGTC style) sitting in my office that I want to flog if you'r keen. It's suitably massive, and light and looks pretty serious.

Hey Richard, yeah mate I may be interested. Can you send me through some pics??

Dane - Benno's wing is off a V8 Supercar. Perhaps give him a call.

[phunky_monkey]

Depending on shipping costs I'll probably go for Richard's wing, but if it falls through I'll give him a buzz. Thanks Snowy

Ford wing would be better it is mounted at the sides not middle so it will be more firmly mounted.

Richard I need your wing for the new car. As long as it is bigger than John P's.

My, we are on a shopping spree tonight Duncan........

Dane I didn't think the Utes had wings.

[Duncan]

shhh...I think Kel can see us talking.....

[phunky_monkey]

On the lookout again, just thought I'd see if anyone had seen one for a decent price floating around?

Ford or Holden?

My 2c...if its for your car jsut stick with a late model 180SX rear spoiler. Be more functional then most you buy and look cleaner

Holden

Yeah, functionality is the reason I want a supercar wing, at least I will know it will do something. The type X wing I'm not sure about...

[Beer Baron]

my advice is don't listen to troys advice.

get the biggest, nastiest wing you can. sadly my JGTC wing is gone now. finding a home on a silvia.

I regret selling my big nasty one now as it would not look too out of place on my car anymore with the new rims, and cage, and seat, and winglets etc. oh well.

[Beer Baron]

just volunteer as a marshall at a race like adelaide or indy. there is bound to be plenty of carnage on a street course. then when one gets knocked off, run out, grab it, then keep on running!!

Holden

Functional. They are a pretty big wing, and they run in combination with undertrays on V8 Supercars. Sure give one a go. But i think you will find Nissan didn enough homework on teh Type X wong that you will be ok.

All gut, no real science, but i know of two cars that are slowers around Sandown and PI with aftermarket wings

[phunky_monkey]

That wing would have been good Richard, but I figured Duncan had got it anyways. I like this biggest, nastiest wing I can find idea, hence the supercars At least they're suitably wide enough for my car, and cheaper than a big f**koff C-west carbon job.

Troy, I'm planning on running an undertray as well. I'm also aware of it possibly making me slower, so I was going to try just an undertray to start with to minimise the drag of a big wing, and if I'm not happy then invest in a wing. I feel that I need something on there, and ideally it would be some sort of lip/ducktail, but I'm worried that something like that may throw my aero out of whack.

Didnt' one of us have an ex K-mart racing wing? I think it was Garreth he is, maybe ask him!

[Beer Baron]

there is a JacK daniels V8 SC look a like at sports bar atm in crown complete with rear wing. I say down a few beers to enlarge the balls and shrink the brain then get in there with your tool kit.
