Well for what it's worth I spent about 20 minutes trying to find more information for you but had no luck. Guess I won't look any more for you.

You could try this one though, would look about the same: http://www.jcwhitney.com/BAT_SCORCHE...;0;0;2001931;0

As the OP on this thread, lets get it back on track a little.

As far as the wing I have goes, it's still on the car. It is solid. I have no data whatsoever if it actually does anything but my times at the track have improved over the last few outings. Unfortunately I can't tell what these improvements have come from. New tyres, new turbo, new suspension setup, rear wing?? Who knows. That is the biggest problem with being impatient. You slap too many things on at the same time and can't give quantifiable data on any of it. Well you can but you'd have to run some very specific tests all of which take time and money.

ps good news is the other motor is re awakening. Saw 13psi at 2500rpm on the big turbo which is very exciting!

Patrick, be more patient!
It's also possible that you are becoming a better drover...and none of the other crap helped at all.

Patrick, I want to get a custom wing for my car once I do the turbo conversion (968). I want to try something different from the factory turbo RS look. I like the one in your avatar, and the like. Is a lexan hatch required for this? I have a glass 924 hatch I was hoping to use. I know lexan is lighter, and for all intents and purposes it's da shet, but mine will be a road car / DD once in a while. The lexan will either turn yellow, or get scratched, etc.

I didn't throw that into the mix but I'm sure I've improved too. Having spent a bit more time on the track than the last few years recently has certainly helped. On another note, I've actually just done a track day in the US outside of Chicago in a track prepped BMW M3. Lots of fun and it's made me more determined to build up a lighter, stronger, more responsive track car. At this stage it will be out of my street car. Combined with the 3L motor, this will certainly be a LOT quicker than my current car.

Yes Arash, you do need a Lexan rear hatch. Well if you want to do it the same way as most have. You could possibly do it in the way that some others have by using those supports that attach to the rear of the car but I'm not sure of their legality on the street, nor do I particularly like the look. You'll see some of these examples in this thread actually. The downside of doing it like on my car is that it renders access to the rear hatch area via the hatch itself obsolete as you have to fasten it down. You can still put things in there via the cabin but not conveniently. This is really for a race application and we swap mine over to a glass hatch and 968rs spoiler for the street. It also saves the Lexan from prematurely aging. Lexan is pretty hard to get down here so I have to try and keep mine in good condition for as long as I can.

How much of a PITA is it to swap hatches? Does it get easier/faster? I've only done it once (to reseal it) and I took my time, and I wouldn't look forward to swapping one for a track event. But you're right, you need to preserve the lexan.

I wish one of those strosek hatches was pretty, then I could just buy one of those and stick a fat wing on it. I also wish the hatch wasn't so large... like, D pillars would have been nice...

You need 2 people. I'm lucky and have a great friend/mechanic who does the bulk of my work, this included. The wing also provides a nice table to put things on between runs.

WERE DID YOU BLACK OUT YOUR REAR TAIL LIGHT THATS SWEET

95ONE

? me, or someone else?
Just went through the whole thread.. mine are the only one's blacked out..
Hours of spraying spray on tint. Actually a $10 can of VHT blackout paint to be specific. Went very slow. 7-10 light coats. Screwed up a lot and cleaned off and started over many times at first though. It's decent, but not truly professional.

DFASTEST951

Actually, 95ONE, if I may chime in and answer with a better solution. You go to a body shop. Get them to prep your tail lights, and clear coat them with black toner added to it. It goes on as paint. Polishes as paint. And it doesn't get any more professional that that. I took top three best paint finishes at the Scottsdale auctions a few years back. It's even darker than in the pics as the flash was catching the tail lights. At night, the lights shine through perfectly and I've never got a mention from it with all my traffic stops. Except how awesome my car is. I kept it a secret long enough. Not too many people know about it. Way better than the cheap can spray. It flakes off, never lasts, and even when it first goes on, it looks like ****. I did all my lenses except my fogs of course. Hope it helps. Sorry about the hijack.

Can't believe this thread has gone on so long. I can't stand these wings on our cars. Looks worse than the spray on tint. The solution would be to get the 968 Turbo S replica wing. That's just my .02 and getting back on track.

95ONE

^^^^^ THE way to do it.. We have a painter that has done many Cherry red clears over rx7 tail lenses.. keeps them all one color.. Looks perfect. So certainly, same goes for a clear with a dark toner.

yeah well i scraped this idea after trying to mount the huge bases it didnt work out well it did but it looked like crap so now im working on mounting an adj. aluminum one

Yeah but remember Joe, I'm swapping out this wing/lexan rear window combo to my glass with 968 rs rear wing for the road so hopefully that meets your eye a little better. I've not actually taken any pics of the 968 one yet. I bought it from a Dutch vendor and it has a quite nice c/f centre piece but on close inspection it wasn't worth all the hassle and cost to do it. I'd wait for the one from D9 if I was to do this again.
