Austarion

just wondering if anyone has attached a gt_wing to a staz hatch before?

i have one that i'd love to fit ( most people hate it but i love it.. lol ) its just that i don't think there is enough "meat" to bolt into.. might crack the rear window from pressure? anyone know?

It's all fibreglass and glass back there. I wouldn't risk it.
Also another small problem I think......

Pretty sure a guy under user name Don_Vitto had a wing on his.

Dont do it. car is from a different era and wing wont suit the shape.

Oh and bogans in commodores and falcons will chase you.

At least you'll be able to outrun them with all that downforce LOL

not the greatest photo to show you, but this is JAS starion thats sitting in his garage, sure if you ask him nicely he would take a better photo and post it.

lol @ rice

i thought i might get a post like that rofl
well its a lot more aggressive than the wing in that picture, it almost makes it look like a RC car without the antenna but i like it. might try and get a pic of me just holding it in place, you may change your mind .. or laugh some more :P

bogans i can ignore but glass cracking and the wing ripping off i can't.

p.s. it cost me .2 of a sec when it was on my skyline down the quarter so it does actually do something.

Eh... a wing won't make you faster! Didn't you go to school?

The wing creates downforce, which actually makes you slower, as it pushes the car to the ground. The "GT-Wing" is designed for tuned "GT" race cars to enable them to maintain a higher speed through cornering on race circuits.

Unless I'm mistaken, I highly doubt that you are running in excess off 600Bhp, racing on a circuit or have put aside a wind tunnel timeslot for testing!?

No, it doesn't look good. No you shouldn't put it on a Starion. The Starion has a bad enough name without you going out and making it a laughing stock! Not to mention that there are hardly ANY Starions left in Australia and you want to butcher another one!?

You want a wing... go buy a Civic. They need one, as their cornering is shithouse! :x

End Rant!

cost : [verb] require to lose, suffer, or sacrifice

^ learn to read!! before going off like a pork chop. i'm not a dumbshit who thinks stickers and a wing will give me 1000hp. so ease up alright :roll:

since when does the starion have a bad name?
and how does fitting a gt-wing butcher the car??

personal preference is a PERSONAL thing so please don't subject me to yours by telling me how my car should look. :x

either post something useful that'll help or humorous for us all to laugh,
if you want to rant........ boostcruising is that way ---->> :D

I say do what you want, but anything ricey is always gonna cause a reaction.

rofl rofl rofl That's some serious "got up on the wrong side of the bed" sh*t right there!
Think a big wing on the back of a civic would make it understeer even more too!

If you still want to put the wing on you'd have to find a way to brace it, say on the other side of the hatch to stabilise all the flex in the hatch. Just lift up the hatch and see how much flex it has. Wouldn't want to be doing 120kmh and have your back windscreen shatter!!

Do what you want, it's your car at the end of the day and it's you it's got to please not anyone else!!!

I think T-wings looks good on the right car.
The starion would suit one but it has to be the right height, angle etc :)

Ps. heres another photo of one with a gt or t-wing:

another thing about pleasing people is that car in the above link I love the mags on it, they're different and i think suit the starion, JAS on the other hand isn't so fond of them.... just goes to show how different peoples opinions are.....

a pic of it on my skyline,



so the bracing will be a problem like i thought oh well i'll see what happens, will definately post the pic of me holding on though :D

Each to his own - I would more likely use it to hold up some of my wifes pot plants. :D

If you think it looks good do it :) - but I would be concerned about the damage it may cause the back of the car. :(

You can buy pots with flat bottoms now which actually stand up all by themselves. They sell them at most garden centres etc. LOL LOL LOL LOL

Just thought it would provide better drainage for the pots instead of sitting them on the ground LOL LOL Its got some good altitude :D
