348 Rear wing

That is an awesome 348. Hmm those diffusers as said earlier then look more like heat shields. That spoiler there just by glancing, I would say the might generate downforce but a lot of hot air is coming up before the spoiler so umm there is also a possibility it might actually generate lift. I dunnno the 348 with the koenig special 355 front bumper plus a little custom diffuser that I have in mind might be my personal favourite as far as looks go. And it drops a bit of drag and adds a bit of downforce too.

 

Theres a 355 challenge rear spoiler for sale on ebay. Rarther over priced IMO but there again i dont know how much they are anyways http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/FERRARI-355-CHALLENGE-REAR-SPOILER_W0QQitemZ220493971515QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUK_CarsParts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM?hash=item335677003b&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14

 

Someone snap this up before it ends up on a Vectra!

 

+1 ......... being on the same island ......... that has Sy's name all over it ...........

 

You know me too well.

Is that a real 355CH spolier?

I thought they were carbon fibre?

 

Anything can be painted .......

Rear wings should be so effective that front downforce changes need to be made for balance. The 355C wing did not need anything in the front which should tell you something. There is a huge difference between wings that work and wings that look good. In general you want clean air to your wing either by position or changes in forward contours, low drag vs. downforce, adjustability. End plate shape is critical for drag reduction.

 

Had a look at an APR spoiler last night on a Honda S2000. Don't think I could live with it on the 348. It's so...... big!!!

 

Where can you get one like that?

 

I think for now its more of a make one than get one. It would be a custom unit.

 

You can't.

You have to get someone to make a copy.

 

Get the 355 one on eBay ......... you will not be disappointed ....................

 

It does look very similar to this one....

....... it does indeed ...........

 

I shall sleep on it.........

 

Well it depends on if you want the wing to look good or work good?

 

there is nothing to sleep about ...... a factory 355 challenge wing for peanuts .......... if it ends up being too awesome for you ............ you can always sell it to me with shipping included for a lot less than the huge sum you pay for it ......... after you paint nero of course ................ ...............

 

After all these years I've been posting here, you should know it's all about the looks.

 

Might end up keeping it

That is funny Bruce....been there many times when all my energy was concentrated on steering wheel grip...lol

 

I'm not impressed with the CH wing, either in looks or performance...way too old school.

Some of the wings offered for the rice racers are better and less expensive....plus you can modify or make your own supports to get into the cleaner air flow.

 

You goof. That lightens the load on the "Bruce shelf".... carbon fiber wing anyone?

Personally I am using a dual element and have not decided how to mount it just yet. Functional in the case also happens to be ugly

 

+348 ............ it looks great ...........

 

Emailed the seller and asked him what the spoiler was made of.

He says it's fibreglass.

I thought the Challenge spoilers were made of carbon fbre?
