DIS.... HE HAS A BOTTLEFED LT1 IN HIS 240SX. I'M SURE HE HAS ENOUGH LIFT ON THE REAR END TO WARRANT A WING FOR SOME EXTRA TRACTION.

somebody is selling a FREE DOM wing just like that on the http://www.drifting.com boards right now. it is a VERY rare piece that slim-to-no people in the US know about.

the one that is on the mckinney motorsports rb powered car looks pretty good and would give the down force.

I kinda like it wingless. A drag wing would be cool if you planned to drag is more often.

Just as long as it serves purpose - that's all that really counts! Go for it!

IMO, the sides of the wing on that S15 look a tad bit too big for the car, but then again, whatever floats your boat might sink another's...

Any pics of that type of wing on an S14?

If all you're looking to do is drag race the car, then that wing r0x!!! :ylsuper

If you want to drive it daily, I'd think that you'd get a weird effect when changing lanes. It seems like it would make the entire rear end kind of sluggish when going left to right.

lol, the car is daily drag raced.I was looking just for opinions on that type of win, or maybe links to some others.I will not put a plastic wing on the car as they are worthless at speeds over 120mph.

I don't care about the handling effects that this has on the car other than making it go straight down the track.

that free dom wing looks awsome. i would go with that if i had a crazy drag car. i agree that the sides look a little big on the signal one, but they probably help the car straight

that is hideous, but since your car is all about dragging, then that means the wing would serve a purpose. so, just whatever you feel like doing.

have you thought about making you own wing for it?

can't be too hard, if you put a SB in a 240 I'm guessing you'd have the skills to work with sheet metal:)

I probably will end up making my own.There just aren't that many available, and the Signal wing isn't as adjustable as I would like.

the Free Dom, isn't adjustable at all really...Just 2 points... and they adjust it less than 1 degree...

even if you are new to this forum everyone knows the name Aries and not a normal 240. Seen your name mentioned on several websites (don't ask for a link I was just surfing) and LT1 in a 240. I was like no ::censored:: way. Reminded me of Darius's 280.

You guys should race.

I wonder who would win? seriously....
