Ken Gushi and EvasiveMotorsports Voltex Type 7 Swan Neck
Last night we installed a Voltex Type 7 Swan Neck GT Wing on the Ken Gushi GReddy Scion FR-S! We took some pictures of the installation process which requires cutting into the trunk to fit the clamshell reinforcement for added strength. These reinforcements are pre-drilled and also act as templates for drilling the trunk for an easy install. This ensures accurate points for mounting the wing as well as reducing flex to a minimum.

You keep saying "we" installed it but, photographic evidence looks like Gushi did all the work! Liao~ Hehe
Is that big carbon piece the inside trunk reinforcement? Is there anything behind it as well?

Yes the reinforcement is FRP under. It helps sandwich the truck to the wing base mount. Last edited by Evasive Motorsports; 02-18-2015 at 11:10 PM. |

Can you guys give a bit more detail about the air intake duct that's flushed into the drivers side of the front bumper?

Those are the best looking red tail lights I've seen, are they sprayed or overlays?

Just curious:
How many FRS' does Gushi have? Last I saw he had a firestorm w/ GReddy turbo. Or does it belong to GReddy?

My dad and sister also have their own 10 series too. Greddy has both the version 1 FRS with the EJ25 and the version 2 with the 2J. So, in my immediate household, we have 2 10series. At Greddy, we have 2 race cars. I sure do miss the firestorm though Last edited by Knshro13; 01-23-2015 at 04:58 AM. Reason: spell check |

I don't think I'll ever like the swan neck look wings are going to nowadays. If they work better on race tracks then I'm okay with it, but they look weird. I'll just sit back and hope the next breakthrough in aerodynamics looks better. lol
Other than that, the car is rad. |
