: My new spinners on the MCS :) kyriian Feb 3rd, 2005, 12:17 AM And what practical purpose do you think a spoiler on a fwd hatch serves? :)
doesnt rear spoilers add rear drag? on a front driver like the mini yes, it serves very little purpose on the street.. but even racing RSX or other front drivers have rear spoilers... they add a certain degree of downforce to settle the rear...
a huge rear wing on the street, or even just a small spoiler on MOST ff cars can be said to add nothing but style Kaelaria Feb 3rd, 2005, 12:28 AM True spoliers provide downforce (and drag but not intentionally) to aid traction to the drive wheels, when placed on the back. FWD cars, even the vast majority of FWD full race cars, do not gain benefit from them. The effects of which are only seen at very high speed. Factory spoilers are all for looks :) I think it's funny that the Mini S spoiler is the same as a Dodge Caravan :)
Here's a top Pro FWD Tiburon track car and a Pro Team Pontiac FWD Sunfire drag car: Frogeye58 Feb 3rd, 2005, 02:32 AM Spinners, neons, LEDs, all seem so ricey to me.
:cool: Kaelaria Feb 3rd, 2005, 03:57 AM What's really hillarious is so many of you get SO excited...but you can't tell a joke if it big you in the ass! LOL
No, those aren't my wheels nor am I changing the stock wheels. No, I'm not doing a spoiler either. Yes, I love all the factory add-on options, even though they are asthetic :) ImaVunDerBrah Feb 3rd, 2005, 04:01 AM Sadly, its not a joke to some. Someone out there will... or even worse, already has .. added them to their car. Pity :( kgouin Feb 3rd, 2005, 04:30 AM What's really hillarious is so many of you get SO excited...but you can't tell a joke if it big you in the ass! LOL

Sometimes online it is hard to tell if something is a joke or not unless there is a ;) it in the post or unless you know the person. I am thankful it was a joke!!! ;) :D tavis1 Feb 3rd, 2005, 05:55 AM What's really hillarious is so many of you get SO excited...but you can't tell a joke if it big you in the ass! LOL

Well thats good to hear. It's hard to tell if you are joking. Your fresh on the scene and we don't know you. Most of us have been here awhile and seen many real bad ideas, people, abused MINI's and Trolls. Stick around and you will see it for yourself.
Tavis1 :red: uae mini Feb 3rd, 2005, 10:17 AM I need to get me one of those Escalades... how about a Range Rover?!
