Too much? (elise wing?)

too much?

I got my hands on a cabon fiber wing from an indycar…

Thinking about putting it on the lotus, for form and function. Obviously, it was not designed for this application, but i really like the look of the wing… so i would incorporate heim joints that would allow adjustment of the attack angle, i have access to face pressure sensors and would adjust the angle to obtain maximum normal force.

All i have right now is this part:

quick chop

That black one is HAWT!!! I would do it but deff tone down the supports a little. Got any more pics of the black one? PM me

edit: actually your supports arent that bad. I would beef them up a little so that they dont look chincy(sp?)

more:

DO it, i think an elise can pull it off…

looks horrible IMO.

another:

are you going just for looks or do you think you really need one? i would say drive the car a bit first … find out how the ass end feels driving at high speeds.

for me the ass end dosen’t start feeling loose untill i hit about 135 ish depending on windspeeds … and the times i’ve ever gone that fast are pretty few and far between.

bottom line on what i say … drive it see how it feels at high speeds. then make a desision.

EDIT: as far as looks go. you could pull it off if you needed it to. but i don’t like the way it looks at all.

What? You’re not putting it on the Civic? :wtf:

No no

yeah. no. it doesnt work. :smiley:
