Default Hrmmm...RSX-S owner with questionable taste



I'm sure the 500 pounds of downforce that wing generates will keep the RSX planted on the road

I suppose you can't buy taste... I am suprised there weren't 5 pounds worth of stickers on the car before the wing was installed.

I'll bet it's transplanted from his last ride...an Eclipse or something.

Maybe the car spends some time at the track.

I'll bet it creates so much down force that the front wheels lift up off the ground!

The majority of downforce created was on this guy's pocketbook.

That looks like some good Taiwanese high performance aftermarket adjustable rear spoiler. I'm not trying to be an ass but please you Taiwanese, stop making riceboys' car stuff.

On another note, he's got the angle of the downforce right. But when it's FF, the car already understeers at corners. Why the heck would you need downforce to create more understeer when I believe the car understeers dramatically without it? Absolute idiot, the car would've turned better before the wing was installed for 100% sure.
