The countdown continues.... This is an honor to have in S2ki, I think one of the sickest projects this boards have seen.
It sucks Im so busy most of the times and I know jack about putting a car together, well let me know so I could install the little pine fragance in the mirror when its all done. At least I could say I I had to do with such a beautiful project.

Don't go w/ those figures, i believe they're inacurate. don't think the wing can produce 1000lbs. of downforce.
Speed = Downforce/Drag both in lbs:
80mph = 487.852/73.328
100mph = 770.613/115.913
120mph = 1084.48/167.493

Results from wind tunnel test at Mira.
Twin element wing with main wing element flat.
Bi-plane winglet @ lowest setting -1106 N = - 248.85 lbs.
Bi-plane winglet @ highest setting -1472 N = - 331.20 lbs.
These figures are @ 100mph
thats from the head engineer.
If ur rear wing produced 1000lbs. of downforce, the trunk on the miata would colapse. and with the amount of power the s2000 engine produced w/ that much downforce; ur car would be slowed horribly.
