Looks quite similar to or is a knight sports Wing
We couldn't let it sit there but we also wernt sure what to do with it, well that didnt really last very long as there is a certain champagne beast that needs as much help keeping the back end as stable as possible so the mission fitting it started.
The first part of said mission was to remove it from the S14 boot lid it came with now that was the easy part as pictured above, then it was time to remove the Carbon boot lid already on the car now while it was awesome looking... bolting a wing to it would have tore it to pieces so the standard metal one was chosen
Carbon lid removed
Wing mocked up onto the boot lid
Bolt holes all measured up and centers marked
Drilling bolt holes
holes drilled
Testing fitment before bolting down the top
During our drilling and banter we disturbed the locals.
Willis the Possum
Shezza the possum
Checking the level
Wing on
Awesome way to spend a friday afternoon, well the next day there was more work to be done on the car as during its last outing the original water pump didnt like reving to 8,200 rpm and started to cry out of the weep hole, since then the car has been sitting so it wasnt a drama well that was until i organized another Queensland Raceway breakfast and Motorkhana so its needed once again!!
Waiting for the silicon to cure
Once again it roared into life... well cant expect much with a turbo back straight exhaust, whilst it roared it was cranky that its slumber was disturbed it stalled quite a few times whilst being reversed out the front for a bath.... hmmmmm cold start map... what cold start map?
All washed and ready to be thrashed
lucky us were paid a visit from the kids in blue because of a cranky next door Neighbor afraid for her life because we are all hoons out to kill her!!! when the police asked why it was so loud we simply said... BECAUSE RACE CAR!!!!
Well thats it for this post
As always stay safe
Bev!!!
