Guest purkin69 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Has anyone removed the rear wing from the soop? I'm really interested to see what it looks like without one and find out about any problems you may have discovered along the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jamesmark Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 veilside Stock ones nice, TRD is the nicest tho ! not at all, besides the only car that i have seen that is not meant to have a veilside on it was a ford cougar, but when you have mondeo's, vetra's, astra's, alfa's all having a go at it, then nah its been ruined, it does suit the supra but its just not for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuperSupra Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Personally, I think the Veilside is horrible, huge lairy thing that just spoils the beautiful curves of the Supra. But, each to their own eh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest purkin69 Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 OK I've read through loads of threads and as far as performance is concerned removing the rear wing obviously lightens the arse but performance actually sounds improved and perhaps more fun? The only major problem is that Toyota designed it to add considerable down force when the car reaches its natural top speed... 180... so the major problem would be cornering at over 130? Due to the fact that I'm not planning on spending too much time at her majesty’s pleasure or indeed in A&E it seems that this is more of an aesthetics issue. Personally I think that despite it being original design, the big wing detracts from the Soop’s classic shape, so I think I will be taking it off - The golden rule seems to be to get a decent body kit and some large wheels to pull it off properly. Guess I just don't want it looking like something out of fast and the furious... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 and gaff tape the holes up see, that's my problem with removing it... I don't want my boot to start leaking with the holes it will no doubt leave..?! isn't there some handy colour coded gromits in there to help with the job....?

Kip Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 I know there are many debates about this, but I do like the lines without the wing - if Aston and Ferrari can do without wings (and they do have similar lines) why cant we sort out the aerodynamics to make the supe good without the wing?

Bill Prawn Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Was going to remove mine when I had it sprayed but decided to keep it on. Glad I did now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt H Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Have to say the Veilside is so nasty, looks chavy and out of place! Stock spoiler for me, or no spolier does look nice, makes the car look a bit Aston / ferrari like (good or bad thing i dont know) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevie_b Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Like you say, I don't think the stock spoiler does a great deal at sensible speeds. I also believe it's hollow, so I doubt it adds much weight either. I like the stock spoiler, it's the supra's trademark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sub_Culture Posted May 16, 2006 Share Posted May 16, 2006 Lose the spoiler! IMO, the TRD spoiler is boring now, seems almost as common as an earlier standard one. Try to find something different. The only wing I would put on mine would be the Do Luck one, but Im not prepared to pay stupid money for it. Andy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ulrik Posted May 17, 2006 Share Posted May 17, 2006 Stock Wing, or TRD/RMM. Wingless dosent look as good, and they say at higher speed its harder to keep the backside of the car stable.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
