Now is the interesting predicament.

Does the OP come back and try to defend the zero credibility he has.

Or does the OP stay silent, checking the thread but not replying, and be made to look like more of an ass

Decisions decisions

never seen a little drifting wing before... how does a little wing drift??

but i spose anything can happen in your world.

ummm it more like fills in the cars fins and its just like a little wing dont noe the name of it thout

I like the 'driftin wing' better.. the d style lips that cover the gap between the boot and rear panel..

GTR wings look ok also

I think you have done a good thing by taking off the stock wing.. Don't really go much on them.

yea there about the same price?

if you put a drift wing on it will change the aerodynamics of the car, the "wings" as you call then help in keeping the rear end stable at high speeds as it channels the air flow coming over the roof, it increases the velocity at which the air is travelling by squeezing into the area between the fins. this massive pressure increase causes a vacuum behind the car which sucks the rear end to the ground, increasing traction and high speed stability in a straight line, as its not affected by cross winds or wind drag.

that is probably why you should leave it alone as the previous owner has taken it off for such reasons and is why you were able to run an 11sec pass with only standard mods.

ask any racer..... any real racer.

    • Jack the back of the car up, pull that wheel off, pull that sensor out, and put a bore scope into the hole to inspect the outer casing, see if anything looks damaged before you pull the whole thing apart.
    • Ergh... So I pulled the speed sensor out again and the tip was shiny so I think it's rubbing the bearing. The bearing contains the magnets for the speed sensor so I think when the first sensor broke it damaged the magnet ring on the bearing.  This is just a Google image, but there is a hole going to the bearing. So when the tip broke off the old sensor I'm guessing it fouled the bearing... As the magnet is only protected by a plastic cover it would be easy to damage it. So I guess I'm doing a bearing again.   
    • My thinking is that if the O2 sensor is shot then your entire above described experience is pure placebo.
    • Here is the mess that I made. That filler there was successful in filling dents in that area. But in the middle area. I can feel dents. And I've gone ocer it multiple times with filler. And the filler is no longer there because i accidently sanded it away. I've chased my tail on this job but this is something else lol. So I'm gonna attempt filler one more time and if it doesn't work I'll just high fill primer the door and see where the issues are because guidecoat is of no use atm.
    • Ok, so I think I sort of figured out where I went wrong. So I definitely overthinked it, and I over sanded, which is probably a large part of the problem. to fix it, I ended up tapping some spots that were likely to be high, made them low, filled them in, and I tackled small sections at a time, and it feels a lot better.    I think what confused me as well is you have the bare metal, and some spots darker and some are lighter, and when I run my finger across it, it' would feel like it's a low spot, but I think it's just a transition in different texture from metal to body filler.    When your finger's sliding on the body filler, and crosses over to the bare metal, going back and forth, it feels like it's a low spot. So I kept putting filler there and sanding, but I think it was just a transition in texture, nothing to do with the low or high spot. But the panel's feels a lot better, and I'm just going to end up priming it, and then I'll block it after with guide coat.   Ended up wasting just about all of my filler on this damn door lol
