BRZ STi Wing Gurney Flap
Searched and didn't see it.
http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y16...psd55c6bf6.jpg http://i2.photobucket.com/albums/y16...psacfce824.jpg Per Google Translate install and product description: It is the material of rubber aero spoiler attached to the rear end of the car aero package. Conducted wind tunnel test vehicle at STI, increase downforce by rectifying the air subjected to surface wing without increasing the (CD) air resistance, this product was developed property ground of the drive wheels at high speeds improve. ※ drilling it is necessary for mounting the rear spoiler This will require drilling into the existing trunk spoiler to install correctly. |
I put my order in for one last night. :p
|
where can you get this??
|
Yeah where can you get this?
|
Japanparts.com just bought mine!

ps. I also interested in their front lip and side skirt. Do you also buy them before? How much (total cost) for that? Thank you. |

Schveet!! I know me and Lanez are on the STi wagon. It's nice to see others have the same opinion.
I'm pretty torn here. I'm not fond of the existing wing and don't know if the flap will make me like it better. |
From those shots I'm not really feeling it. It looks like garden trim from Home Depot.
|
But it's STi garden trim that is wind tunnel tested. Gawsh.

Worth noting that some of the stuff shown on the STI site isn't actually available yet.
Springs don't ship till November, for example |
Do you have a link to this STi site? Thanks :)

Pardon my ignorance, but is this functional or purely decoratory?

Didn't know they sold STi parts at Lowes & Home Depot. @switchlanez, I own stock in them probably could've got it for the LOW.

EDIT: Think of it as air hitting a brick wall, there'll be high pressure region in front of the wall. By having air hit the gurney flap you'll have high pressure above the wing. |
For months I've been debating ideas on how to match my stock spoiler with my black parts... paint my spoiler flat black or CF-overlay it? Get a lip spoiler and do all that? Get the Aussie NurburgWING? I even sent Bluebatmobile cash to make a custom black overlay for the backside of my stock spoiler like this 5:AD tC then cancelled. This STI flap takes my idea and improves on it... pretty much nails what I've been wrestling with for months.
Is it functional? Well the front lip/side skirts are (sides have same basic shape as Toyota Factory Tune/Nurburgring/GTS kit skirts) plus they have access to any aero development simulations, have CG 3D model representations of their parts on the BRZ on their site, and take forever to develop/release their parts. It'd be stupid to sell something that hurts aerodynamics... since this sits directly in airflow, they'd have to at *least* ensure that. And while they're at it, maybe improve the aero. But I wouldn't care if it isn't functional. All their BRZ aero parts have been high quality with exact mounting and fitment (so far). Plus it reminds me of a more subtle version of this guy (which is stock and an all time fave)... http://www.ssip.net/upload/honda-nsx-r-back-3_70.jpg |

What’s material for the front lip and side skirt? (FRP, PU, ABS,PP,CF…etc) Thank you. |

Believe it or not a wicker can have a significant impact on a wing. Now I'm not an aero guy so I can't give you in depth details but I have a pretty good idea on some of this stuff. I work for a racing company and I've been around for some testing. 1 mm height adjustments of the wicker can effect the top speed of the car by a couple mph. Granted the cars tested were going upwards of 185 mph. Taller wicker = more downforce = more drag. I've also been around for completely losing a wicker off a wing while on track (tight course) and that effected the rear downforce and balance of the HUGE. Keep in mind that these are race cars and are much different than the BRZ but the wicker should have the same effects. Just nowhere the same extent since the brz wing/spoiler is far less effective than one on a GT car. Anyways, I was just trying to explain that a piece like that DOES make a difference. |

Ordered mine also, guessing it attaches via 3M ?

Kinda hard to tell per the engrish description. It looks like they are saying the regular spoiler needs to be drilled.
It is the material of rubber aero spoiler attached to the rear end of the car aero package. Conducted wind tunnel test vehicle at STI, increase downforce by rectifying the air subjected to surface wing without increasing the (CD) air resistance, this product was developed property ground of the drive wheels at high speeds improve. ※ drilling it is necessary for mounting the rear spoiler I would assume it's just a sticky tape install. |

I'm in the same boat with my FRS, bow do I work the black in (I want a panda-like look) and I think this solves it for me. I kind of liked the BRZ wing before but this settled it. STi FRS for me it seems. Lol |
:word: I've already got a TRD part on mine with more on the way.
Why not keep up the same theme that the Mfrs are doing with a proper Toyobaru/ Subyota? If TRD, Tom's, STi SAA, Modelista, etc comes up with a part that I agree with, I'm game. |
Is anyone importing sti parts in bulk yet?

Here are a few shots of the gurney flap I received from japanparts.com. The quality is OK in my opinion, it seems to be abs plastic or urethane.
Not sure if I'll install it on the car, but it does require two holes to be drilled into the wing and clips mounted, from what I could translate from the instructions (in Japanese). Big disappointment. :mad0260: I wish japanparts.com had disclosed that information. However, they shipped super fast! |
I'll post pics mocked up on the car when I receive the car tomorrow :)
|
Just put it on without the clip. Clip shouldnt make much difference anyway. And cover up the hole on the lip with something
|
Yeah was thinking of doing it that way and cutting the heads off the clip and plugging the holes with them :)
|
I'll edit the first post to show that it needs drilled.
