Hmmm well considering most of the drift cars these days have huge GT wings you can't really call it that...

There was a bit of a drag trend to remove the element from GT-R spoilers so it could be that.

But these days, you could put an D1 on a dog turd and people would call it Drift Spec

holy batwings batman... hhehe if you can put up with batman jokes then go for it.

I'd get an eastbear boot or one of them wingading things.

These days every man and his pet goldfish owns a drift spec something or other on their car. if its broken, f**kt, ugly r plain wierd its suddenly drift spec. To me drift spec is properly cambered and castored wheels, a good dashing of bog, and bumpers held on with wire clips.

Fixed (drift speced)

WTF is a drift fish.....????

I just had a good mental image of a fish drifting in a goldfish bowl.

complete with fins pulling on hand brake and make "eeeee-ee-ee" sounds.

Although it just be bubbles...

meh, It's been a long day.

Oh, BTW the east bear one is about a grand but is carbon fibre while the do luck one is just metal (i guess) Prefer the do luck one.

What I want is someone to make a "spoiler" using the top of the replacement boot lid and the base of the "drift wing" with a built in third brake light. That would give a no batwing rear without losing the boot lock.

That gives you the option of no spoiler (holes and brake light sorted) or a place to mount the wing of your dreams.....

If anyone wants to make these, I will buy one!!!!!

i want one similar to this:

but with LEDs in it.

Apparently www.silinsspecialvehicles.com.au do one similar to the above and I've emailed them to get a picture / quote.

I found this on the forum, which is apparently from silins:

http://skylinesaustralia.com/forums/attach...tachmentid=5384

But it's too long out the back, like the one posted by Gojira earlier in this forum.

Anyone know where I can get one similar to JMS but with LEDs, or is it easy to have LEDs put in to one thats already made without them?

      Rusty roof repair

      If your current chain of thought is, I'll go somewhere like pick and payless (or equivalent) and causally remove the bit of roof with your BYO grinder then casually weld that into your car... oof. It might sound easy but you will 100% end up with a warped roof. You say you'd prefer some ugly fab work, but I don't know if your prepared for how ugly this will be lol.  I've seen professional welders do similar but easier repairs and still end up with warped panels.  It is reasonable to assume that from your current skill level, you won't be able to do this cut and paste job while keeping flat panels.  Ok, but we are here to learn. This might be the go... jump on car sales, sort by price, buy the cheapest thing with rego and drive it home. This is your new practice vehicle. If you're thinking of doing the cut and paste job, try it on this car. Cut out the panel (hey it's a perfect fit) weld in the panel. See what you think of the results.  Next thing you could try, practice removing the entire roof in one piece by drilling out all the spot welds etc. Have a crack and welding the roof back on.

      I've never welded but I own a welder and I've always wanted to learn. In fact I had already looked at a 1 day welding course in Sydney.  I'd prefer some ugly metal fab than anything weak.  I'm challenging myself a lot with this car. For so many years I've just paid other people to do things and I've always been keen to learn and get better.

      Ok, thats a good starting point.  So before we start.... do you mind if the car say isn't a strong as it was before? My first thought is go excavating for rust. You'll be left with a gaping hole, that will be filled with fiberglass. You could make it look factory pretty easily but yeah, if you never crash it will never be an issue right? Before we look at other options, how confident are you welding?

      Oh this is my 1998 E39 5 series. It's worth more to me than financial value. It's a project car for me to love and work on without fear of f**king up something that has lots of value or that I need to keep running.

      I'm super realistic here. I love the car and want to keep it but I know it's days of perfect condition are well and truly over. I just want a fix that won't come back.
