Spoilers
-
I know spoilers look nice on cars....at least some certain spoilers looks extremely cool, nice, "fierce" on some cars...
But then, what're spoilers really for? Just for the beauty??? Or is it some air flow related purposes?
p/s: Can't stand some saloon cars that put spoilers...not nice at all...there're some that put spoilers are nice....no offences to any saloon cars driver hor...,

Sometimes the the spoilers are do really literally mean "spoilers" on the streets its more for cosmetic purposes lah.... spend some $$$ on a huge big GT wing, stick it on the back of a family sedan and recieve stares from ppl and watch your fuel gauge reaching "E" faster than ever
But it does look nice on certain cars though -
In singapore, spoliers are for cosmetic purposes only la.. the downforce created by the spoiler is only effective at really high speeds, like 200kph++.. but putting a spolier on a car makes it sportier and fiercer..

lol .. so ironically the evo and wrx can run faster in singapore without their spoiler.Originally posted by HeXy:In singapore, spoliers are for cosmetic purposes only la.. the downforce created by the spoiler is only effective at really high speeds, like 200kph++.. but putting a spolier on a car makes it sportier and fiercer.. -

i beg to differ on the point that down force is only effective at high speeds. the design of the spoiler, the surface area as well as the angle of attack can determine how soon some form of effective down force comes into action. but because most ppl are too ignorant to realize this, they start putting on spoilers without knowing how it actually works for or against them.Originally posted by HeXy:In singapore, spoliers are for cosmetic purposes only la.. the downforce created by the spoiler is only effective at really high speeds, like 200kph++.. but putting a spolier on a car makes it sportier and fiercer.. -
not so. true, having more downforce creates greater drag, reduces top speed and acceleration which also leads to higher fc.Originally posted by Icemoon:lol .. so ironically the evo and wrx can run faster in singapore without their spoiler.
but going around corners, thats when the car with more downforce will go faster than one with less. because the car can carry a higher speed given the greater amount of force pressing it against the road which in turn gives it more traction. therefore, ur assumption is only correct in a straightline comparison. -
that's my camp and i know of 1 red RX-8 but that one no spoiler one lei...Originally posted by nightsky87:Isn't transit road nee soon camp?
anyway, along Lorong Chuan leading to serangoon gardens from boundary road, on the left side there are some private houses, approaching the Shell station keep a look out for this white RX-8 parked outside one of the house, it got a nice spoiler/GT wing, quite low profile and brings out the sportiness of the RX but not very fierce also. -
any1 noes if a spoiler nd 2 be approved by LTA? or can jus pay$, bolt on n go? custom spoiler nd approval 1 rite?
