I was reshimming my diffs again, and as usual they were giving me a harder time then they should, so I decide to install my wing.
I'm happy with it.

I think his Maxx might be more (money) than a Civic, too......
I think you need to peel off the TMaxx decals. That monster is way beyond TMaxx now. Unless your going for the "sheeps clothing" thing.

If anything a wing on a Civic slows it dwon because it barely has the HP to move itself efficiently through the air. Adding any downforce creates a drag that the massive powerplant in the Civic must overcome.
Now let's hear from all the mad Civic owners......yes, I understand the new Si is a pretty stout car. Looks cool too, if you like that kind of car.

The wing helps out, but the real secret are the body clips in the a-arms!!

I hate wings on any cars that are for looks or whatever....But it doesn't matter if it's fwd or not. It's not like it causes a lever effect and lifts the front tires. They are supposed to keep the rear end on the ground at high speeds. For your average civic with the fart can and an APC wing, it does nothing.
I wouldn't make fun of civic's in general...Make fun of fakers. My buddy had a civic hatch with not as much done to it as you think...And it would beat LS1 corvettes on the motor. Throw a little spray into the mix and the thing flies.
For those of you who think all civics are slow, watch this:

Well according to all the Import boards, adding a wing and decals for things the car doesn't even have adds at least 5 extra horsepower!

The wing made backflips harder. I'll just have to get more air to make up for it .
