It's made by First Molding.

Nope, mine was a 97.
Something like that would seem to add some more downforce to the stock wing configuration. Sort of like a Gurney flap on an indy car.

 

home made =

 

just me but i think that **** looks ugly..that OEM wing + the flap
wingless is for me

 

Fuggin' dog didn't like it either...is he turning his head to puke?

 

hey, its a type R.

 

What does it do?
What's its purpose?
Is it effective?

And please don't answer with speculation, answer only if you actually know what you're talking about.

 

I don't think anyone here can accurately answer that. That's my R in the pic with the dog.

A proper Gurney flap makes the wing just a bit more effective by preventing the air from spilling off the trailing edge of the wing as quickly, therefore adding a little more downforce...and drag...and wake turbulence. I'm not that smart, but I got a book that 'splains it.

Does it work effectively on a type R at 120 mph? Probably not. I had some carbon cloth, resin and time on my hands and I thought it looked cool.

Honestly, that's about the best answer there could be.

Thanks for sharing, much appreciated. And good DIY job.

 

I'm a firm believer in spending time (and cash) only on stuff that enhances performance...but I sometimes cave in to the "bling" urges!

 

It's inevitable....

I think we all do that at some point or another.

Heck, even if it is just detailing/waxing/polishing. Bling.

 

Nothing like taking traction off the front tires.

you spin the front wheels at 80+mph?

I'm confused. What are you talking about?

&lt; shakes head &gt;

1) Are you in any position to justify that?
2) Would it make any difference even it it was true?

Nothing like putting weight on the rear so the car doesn't wiggle under heavy braking at 200 km/hr.
