Did you buy them seperatly or did it come with them?

Came with them fortunately. I had a hard enough time getting a 260RS wing, i wouldn't want to have to look for a set of those. i see what you're getting at with your eyelids, i reckon it'd look good on the angle, similar to how S15's do it

I prefer what mine looks like... ;)

Edit: How do you get the images to display full sized like above?

ahh, got it. Though I still don't know how to get them up to this server, as my understanding is that the gallery has been dead since the transfer....

Terminal, how much did the wing cost you?

as l've been thinking of trying to get one for my car, to loose that "ovlov" look a bit more!! ;)

I bought it through the forum from someone for $300. it's a 260RS copy, so it didn't come with some of the fittings and i had to get them made up. painting and fitment was another $200.

ian, yeah series 2 seem to have a much more aggressive look to them, I just dont like the lights in the grill personally.

97r33gtst-typeM - Only problem then is when Mr Plod does the whole, "Bend over and let me look at your mods..." thing you cant just say, "Well it'll take me 2 seconds to remove them with a philips head screw driver officer, how about I just remove them right now, save you writing out a defect ticket?" :O

Chances are the coppa will give you a ticket anyway, also with painted on it looks flat, whereas with bolt on's you can get them to match the bodywork so the eyelids fit to the contour of the shape of the bonnet.

I'm going to start playing around with cardboard cutouts this weekend probably and see just how fiddly it would be to cut/bend these up. Probably send to Bass Junky for mass production if required, but I dont see a huge interest in them.

Well it looks like most people think they are gay.

Meh I've never been one to cave into popular opinion, cardboard cutouts created, going to have a play around with some different sheetmetal bits and see what the overall effect is.

    • After my last update, I went ahead with cleaning and restoring the entire fuel system. This included removing the tank and cleaning it with the Beyond Balistics solution, power washing it multiple times, drying it thoroughly, rinsing with IPA, drying again with heat gun and compressed air. Also, cleaning out the lines, fuel rail, and replacing the fuel pump with an OEM-style one. During the cleaning process, I replaced several hoses - including the breather hose on the fuel tank, which turned out to be the cause of the earlier fuel leak. This is what the old fuel filter looked like: Fuel tank before cleaning: Dirty Fuel Tank.mp4   Fuel tank after cleaning (some staining remains): Clean Fuel Tank.mp4 Both the OEM 270cc and new DeatschWerks 550cc injectors were cleaned professionally by a shop. Before reassembling everything, I tested the fuel flow by running the pump output into a container at the fuel filter location - flow looked good. I then fitted the new fuel filter and reassembled the rest of the system. Fuel Flow Test.mp4 Test 1 - 550cc injectors Ran the new fuel pump with its supplied diagonal strainer (different from OEM’s flat strainer) and my 550cc injectors using the same resized-injector map I had successfully used before. At first, it idled roughly and stalled when I applied throttle. Checked the spark plugs and found that they were fouled with carbon (likely from the earlier overly rich running when the injectors were clogged). After cleaning the plugs, the car started fine. However, it would only idle for 30–60 seconds before stalling, and while driving it would feel like a “fuel cut” after a few seconds - though it wouldn’t fully stall. Test 2 – Strainer swap Suspecting the diagonal strainer might not be reaching the tank bottom, I swapped it for the original flat strainer and filled the tank with ~45L of fuel. The issue persisted exactly the same. Test 3 – OEM injectors To eliminate tuning variables, I reinstalled the OEM 270cc injectors and reverted to the original map. Cleaned the spark plugs again just in-case. The stalling and “fuel cut” still remained.   At this stage, I suspect an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, caused during the cleaning process. This has led me to look into getting Frenchy’s fuel hanger and replacing the unit entirely. TL;DR: Cleaned and restored the fuel system (tank, lines, rail, pump). Tested 550cc injectors with the same resized-injector map as before, but the car stalls at idle and experiences what feels like “fuel cut” after a few seconds of driving. Swapped back to OEM injectors with original map to rule out tuning, but the issue persists. Now suspecting an intermittent power or connection fault at the fuel pump hanger, possibly cause by the cleaning process.  
    • For race cars, this is one part where I find having the roll cage bar having gone through a hole in the floor better than the build it up on a ledge inside... The Merc I help on, the main hoop ends are marked on the car, and the jack is marked... Jack goes under a few inches and lifts one whole side of the car up... Removes that fight for long slim jacks for race car duties!   My biggest issue for the daily drivers I work on, is my jacks don't go high enough. The jacks start out on a few blocks, jack it up, then start a second jack under it on more blocks, and then I can get an axle stand under it. My axle stands are presently in use, and are nearly fully extended. The car is sitting with barely more than a cm of clearance to get the wheel off the studs! Sarah's Kluger is the same, as it has an ungodly amount of droop available in the suspension and a distinct lack of good jacking points!
    • Happy? Yep, my to do list is getting shorter and shorter. Either this light approaching is the end of the tunnel, or I'm about to be hit by a train... Ha ha ha   Also, Duncan isn't that far out of town that you need to make a multi day drive out of it. 😛
    • Sorry I meant that we are building the EH for a client.
