Mounting A Drift Wing

[Russman]

Hi Guys.

I've just bought an aluminium wing and I want to install it myself.

Does anyone have pics on how theirs is mounted and what they used underneath the boot lid for strength.

Thanks,

Russ

This is how it came from Japan;

The GT Wing weighs down the bootlid, so it doesnt fling up like normal.

I'll be selling my gt wing + bootlid once i get my other spoiler put on

Hey Rekin.

I remember your wing. Pretty hard to miss!

what spoiler are you getting?

I'm after some pics of under the boot lid more than anything.

When i was getting car first registered, the inspector said i had to remove the gt brackets. My god that was a pain..

I have no idea how they put it on in Japan. Cause you have the skeleton frame of the bootlid, all nuts weren't visible so was a pain to fit/remove.

This is the wing im planning to put on (although ive been saying that for over 8months, it sits under my bed lol.

Yeah that's what I've got to do and I wanted to see how it was done on other cars before I gave it a shot.

Also my wing has 2 positions for mounting. Towards the middle and towards the outside. I'm probably gunna use the outer ones for strength. Does anyone have pics ofhow theirs looks too. Rekin?

Here are some pics of my gt wing, in my opinion it sits too high.

Thanks mate.

That's mounted pretty close in the middle. I think I'll still do it on the outer mounts.

Anyone have pics?

You might want to check out ASM from a few issues ago, they had an article on installing the wing on their drift car and putting it on the floor rather than the boot lid to get the full effect of the down force. Probably not necessary in a street application but worth a read.

[Russman]

ASM? I'm guessing that is auto salon mag?

[PSI Parts]

Yes Auto Salon Magazine.

the wing on the autosalon drift car is still on the boot, but there is a bar inside the boot so that the boot lid doesnt flex and the force gets transferred onto the chassis.

decent plates under boot lid stop flex.

this was one of the best I've seen. It's a garage saurus customers car and I took this pic at fuji speedway. they had built a little support that goes in the boot and takes the force of the wing and distributes it onto the chassis. I'll try and find some pics of the inside.

Thanks guys. I'm really interested in pics showing how people have done the mounting under the lid.

Anyone with pics?
