second, I've been around this site for more than 8 months. I've been a member of HondaSociety for almost 4 years now, and I was posting in the Accord forum on this site since late '00.
you know what happens when you assume, right?
I'm an asshole but i know my shat.
maybe you've been around the strip more than me, but I'm not the dumbass who thinks a wing will help my times. I don't even care about being the fastest civic out there. I'm happy with the shit I've got.

Point taken. To me 3 second was alittle unreal, but i just watched this. I said 1-2 seconds. Gain is Gain on any car. A 13 second monte carlo V8 or a 13 second 1.6 civic ex. With the same designed wing you will get the same results. The only thing to effect this is surface area. Not being a dick, just asked if the was a production piece.

Most functional aero-pieces commercially available for Honda/Acuras are in the realm of front splitter/rear-diffuser for the road race crowd, and are almost always imported from JDM land. Your best bet is to fabricate a trunk piece yourself; although I'm certain reputable shops will make a custom unit for you.
Just so people stop beating a dead horse, a flat trunk "drag" wing is completely different than a wing designed to produce DOWNFORCE (think Mugen wing). Downforce reduces straight-line speed, and is purely used for traction/stability issues.

There are some guys on here that know some shit(oc, westcoast, asiandood, CivicSIRacer). I don't know it all, BUT I DON'T BASH. Westcoast did bash, but when i explained the fact for eveyrday life, he accepted it. There is always doubt. We COOL.

Running neuspeed sports. For autocrossing, doing a little rubbing on 215/45/16 already. Don't need anymore drop, maybe a little stiffer spring.

[sarcasm] i guess when you are such an accomplished racer as yourself.. you can easily build a car that does it all with a stock single cam and NO forced induction.. you are truly the king of racing man [/sarcasm]
