I am looking to put a rear wing on my car and I have seen a few in some pictures on this webpage in the past. Does anybody have pics of a rear wing on thier car or someone elses, and do you know where they(you) got it. Thanks!!

Steve

this is a wing to the extreme

uprights are made from aluminum honeycomb, wing element is carbon fiber

not sure if you need something this out there

Extreme? That's nothing. If you want something REALLY out there, check this:





Sorry. Couldn't resist.

If your talking a duck tail I have one to sell. 1bill

This is the best looking wing I've seen on a 914.

They looks like a Ground Radar system!!!!!!

I have a 42.5" wide carbon fiber wing element available its from a 911 rear tail. Not sure how you could make it work on a 914 though

Wings are not for looks IMHO. They should be functional - and the height, size, shape, etc., should be determined by the type of racing. Speed being the most critical variable, no? More details on the purpose will help.

In the mean time, here are a couple more photos:

I agree about functional wings being a good thing. Sort of off-topic, but this thread reminded me of something I read in a technical manual the other day that made me spray my drink out my nose. I was reading some Inovate Motorsports whitepaper on using LM1 datalogger inputs and a throttle-possition-sensor on a bellcrank attached to the suspension to measure airodynamic downforce/lift at various speeds. In with the technical writing and diagrams was a comment that read something like this: "front-wheel-drive cars with wings are like birds - big wings and no penis".

Sean, that car was built by my mechanic Steve Aven. 714-637-1234

Heres one...

marks914,

I like that rear wing on your car. Where did you get it? I am looking for something subtle like that.

Here is the $20 special

Or you can go the big fat tail look

Here's one that was on a car at the WCC.

Thanks!
I had been looking for one for a while. I bought it used from someone on the Bird Board a couple of years ago. Renegade had one similar to it, but I think they discontinued it, you may want to try them.
I added it because the 916 style front bumper made the front look longer than the back, the wing evens it out.

mark,

love those wheels!!! sending you a pm.

Would this work? I like the height and shape

My wing came off a Fiero. I am thinking on getting rid of it because at high speeds it produces lift.

I would have thought that the wing would give you more down force at high speeds?

I posted the pictures of this car about a year ago. They were originally posted on www.dailysportscar.net, a British sports car racing news site. I asked their permission to repost the photos and they gave it. I forget the details, but the car was run in an endurance race in Brazil, sort of a club race open to all car classes. I posted six photos of the car.

A PO of my car installed this wing. I think it was purchased from AA. It is made out of FG, and while I think it looks OK, I doubt it does anything to produce downforce:

here is an Audi 1.8t powered 914 racecar WITH a wing too!

only if the angle is right. his wing looks like it's facing upward, which would give him lift ...
