Hi all, new user but have searched through previous threads on this topic. Seems there's a split of opinion - ricer mod or not - but did anybodu actually get around to doing it? Thanks, Bennyboy

It would be cool to have and I would buy one
It would look like a race car

You can modify original system for this.
Here's one 968 which had it.

DanR

any more details on how this is done? Does it still perform effectively?

bennyboy

Just like that '68, though I would prefer it off-centre at rest. Any ideas how it can be done?

Olli Snellman

System has been changed back to original. Car is now blue (maritim blau). What i have heard conversion worked well. It just need minor modifications to original mechanism.
It's tough guite "Rice-Rocket" mod

What is the advantage to this?

Olli Snellman

None

Well a considerable number of race cars have it, so I'm assuming there must be some benefit. For me however, it's purely aesthetic, and for someone with a degree in car design it is therefore important to me!

The benefit is that it's f'ing sick, bro.

Dood you can save 1.6357lbs and make more horsepower to the WHEELS since the wiper motor is only driving 1 wiper instead of 2 and thus putting less load on the alternator.

The advantage is that your wiper, now clocked in the center of the window, won't move up at high speeds as the two wipers will do. Also not having the wiper clocked at the bottom of the windscreen gives you a better view of the slow car's (in front who just won't let you pass that you've been following for 3 laps) bumper you are about to "nudge".

I think that looks cheesy, I have one wiper on the driver's side, took out the passenger side cause it would shake over 120 mph, just need driver's side anyway...
