Caught this driving down the 405 freeway in Fountain Valley CA. Notice that not only is the spoiler on backwards, but it's at the wrong angle which I'm thinking is to lift the rear and put force down on the front of the car (since it's FWD). The flames & Go Army sticker on the fuel filler are a nice touch, and I just LOVE the attention to detail in making certain the spoiler matched the cars color.

Sweet Ride!

I wonder what this guy is going to do with his rebate check form the government when he gets it. Maybe some spinners!!!

97talon · 22 Feb 2008, 12:56 pm

That's a joke right?

hahaha i think he wants his civic to go airborne somehow... except it lacks 5000hp to accomplish it

bam 240sx · 22 Feb 2008, 03:55 pm

haha i want to do that when i get a winter beater

but that probly doesnt help gas milage

Someone told me recently that upforce does help gas mileage, I tried to get him to give me his aluminum spoiler to try this theory with but he wouldn't

well simple physics, if the friction due to the rear tires is less than the drag force on the wing, lifting the car, then you should save gas...

makes me jealous

Can I please install wings like that on the back of the other F2000 cars I race against? Pretty please? We could set a world record for the first time the rear end of a car created enough lift to go airborne...

HAHA Nice Rice!!

When I take over nascar and make the necessary changes to make it actually interesting (think mariokart meets calvinball) that'll be one of my additions: on laps 50-75, all cars must run UPFORCE wings.

i yelled at some stupid mexicans who did that. all 5 of them in a black civic coupe...

Back when I was in tech school for auto mechanics, I overheard a conversation about how a spoiler lifting up on the back would give you better control in a FWD. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. I felt it was my duty to enlighten them on the fact that it wouldn't help you with traction (thats really only a problem for fwd during initial acceleration and there is no wind then...) and would actually make the car unstable as hell due to the fact the rear would want to slide out from no traction.

They didn't believe me.
