Guest BigThompers Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 A spoiler DOES alter the performance of a car you fucking nonce! You're fucking kidding right? You actually believe sticking a spoiler on the back of an Astra will do anything noticeable to it's performance? Fucking Hell Thompers that's dense... even for you. an no it's not a novelty, it's a wankers cap. I bet you like those shitty little blue lights chavs put on their Corsa windscreen washers Cock My Astra does 160mph, and that's standard, it's not 'sooped up' or 'modified'. Moron. How often do you take it to the track? Off to the nurburg ring in the near future as it happens. How is this relevant? I rarely stick to speed limits, like most people in any car tbh. Because then it might be justified. If you were doing a long race where fuel efficiency and aerodynamics were critical to gaining you every second you can get. If however you're doing 90 down the motorway with your window open it's a complete waste. I know a few rather well off lads who pay to take their road cars out on tracks (TVRs generally like, not Astras) as well as build their own kit cars (caterham) for track days and that. I also know a few kids that stick a spoiler on the likes of a Micra because they think it looks cool. Just wondering which group you fall into. If you think it looks cool, good luck to you by the way. I think my velcro shut trainers look cool and my dad has the opposite view. You try to be cool within your group of peers don't you, so a rear spoiler might make someone the coolest kid in the car park. Does it look like it's had a spoiler 'stuck onto it'? I love the way you think TVRs are so superior btw. I've probably got one of the best cars that I could afford to insure at my age and afford to maintain. If I could afford a TVR, I wouldn't have one.

Guest BigThompers Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Dunromin. Thompers, genuinely. Why do you want a personalised plate? and don't just say "to personalise my car" because that's a result of the plate, not the reason behind getting it. Basically, I think a lot of private plates are shit. For a decent one that actually spells your name and looks like your name, you are usually looking at thousands. However, with my name being Lee, the options for plates with the prefix L33 were vast, and they were selling for very little - so I thought I was getting very good value for money whereas somebody with the name Mike would pay a small fortune to get Mike on his plate...

Fop 1 Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Really? What are they now, a plastic I assume? Wonder why that came to pass Black plastic ones for pre-1973 cars are still road legal, who knows for how long though. A spoiler DOES alter the performance of a car you fucking nonce! In fairness in 90%+ of road car cases it does, but negatively. Usually front end modifications will do a better job of lowering your drag coefficient and/or increasing down pressure. In some really bad cases not only does a rear spoiler increase your drag coefficient, but they also act as a wing if positioned incorrectly. Just don't get me started on most oversized exhausts.

Especially when you're talking about after market conversions, as the nearest they'll have been to a wind tunnel is the day after a serious curry, I do like the ones that function as wings though. No, more drivel. Completely true, most road cars simply don't move through the air efficiently enough to make rear spoilers effective, or indeed need rear down force all that much anyway. Front aerodynamic changes are where it's at for most road cars, although again most after-market ones won't have been anywhere near a wind tunnel (and the really effective ones will be un-usable on most British roads). It's basically the same lack of joined up engineering that can result in people putting huge end cans on without realising they may well be reducing their engines power output if they don't change the whole exhaust system (and maybe entire head) with it. And like I said the worst ones are the suspended ones (i.e. the not flush to body ones) as they can all too easily end up functioning as a wing and lifting the rear end with the wrong positioning or angle. Basically looks and sound are the main results of most modifications like that, not any real performance gain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
