evinX Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 So all those MASSIVE bhp supras in the states with no spoilers are crashing all the time yeah? no... i'm afraid they're not. I love the spoilerless look, best decision i've made with my car by a long shot, i do think the lip i have makes a nice differance too though. I like the stock spoiler as well, either would look nice on your car. and as a bearer of some bad news... i regognised your car from barryboys - http://www.barryboys.co.uk/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=34292 Not all the time, but look at their crashes compared to ours, they flip and roll and crush...ooooh ahhh there you go. Think outside the box buddy, youve been given a brain, use it properly. The curves on the stock boot dont provide enough downforce. Spoilers PROVIDE, EXTRA STABILITY.

Josh Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 Ooo, a stock spoiler with a Ridox lip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nic Posted February 10, 2011 Share Posted February 10, 2011 I'd remove the current wing and put a stock wing on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellis Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 From what I've read, the rear spoiler only aids rear downforce at speeds above 100 leptons. Like Peter's, low level Euro spec all the way!! Or the very small rear lip spoiler - that looks good too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jonc Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Hmms, I thought I had read somewhere in the past (probably on here) that the spoiler was fitted by Mr T to stabilise the car under hard braking and nothing to do with F1 type road holding. For looks I prefer the stock Spoiler look. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

j_jza80 Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 Hmms, I thought I had read somewhere in the past (probably on here) that the spoiler was fitted by Mr T to stabilise the car under hard braking That's exactly what it does. I know from experience with various Supras, all with different suspension, brake and wheel/tyre setups, that heavy braking from around 100mph results in loss of traction from the back without the spoiler. The back of car squirms, and braking distance is increased significantly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dnk Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) What we need is a wind tunnel for the day and do some testing, no wing, o/e wing, trd wing I think the mkiv looks good in all the above and have had all the above. The wings must do something as you can't just stick something this big into the airflow and it make no differance. The down force/stability will be noticed at much higher than your daily average speeds where the car will rely on mechanical grip.

fastcar Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I think the supra looks nice with or without the spoiler. But if u take off thT sard spoiler you will notice a big diffrents in the way the car handles. When I changed my standard spoiler to the APR one i have now I noticed a big diffrents in the way the cat handled. Its Alot more stable with the APR on. If u just had the standard one on it wouldn't make much diffrents if u went spoilerless. Take the sard one off and go for a blast and see the Diffrents it makes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris Wilson Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 I think they look at their best, and less dated, with no skirts and no spoiler at all. It's one of those cars that is very easy to make look like a refugee from some low end Jap tuning mag, rather than the svelte and well proportioned basic shape it is. Probably an age thing, but too much "stuff" on them cheapens them, IMO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Morpheus Posted February 11, 2011 Share Posted February 11, 2011 (edited) After a long paws for thought, I think I prefur the stock one myself. Depends on the look you want to achieve really. I think spoilerless looks more so-fish-de-catted though. Edited February 11, 2011 by Morpheus Very sad! (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
