Good thing you are in Hawaii.... you never have to worry about forgetting your surf board as long as you have that park bench on your car. Just unbolt it and catch some totally tubular waves..... dude. :jester

Re: (Double Clutch)
O.K People!! More info... this is a fully functional wing, it has 2 diffirent ways to adjust, to get as much down force as you'd like!! it was made intentionally to set off the back so i'd still have an easy access to the gas tank. I personally like it better then the ones that are offerd in the Ekclers magazine and other sources that sell after market wings and body kits.... of course the wings on my car so you'd probably expect me to say that!!

Re: (Double Clutch)
Where do you go, there on the big island, that you can drive fast enough for that wing to be for anything other than show? Do you have a track you can race on where your speed justifies that large of a wing?

Re: (Preacher)
Hey Brah! Tell them guys bout the H1 and H2 and all the boys who like race out there! Also make'em know bout the drags. You guys got numba 1 chow and brew out at the drags.
Actually, Hawaii has one of the nicer places to own a nice vette. The weather is primo and the majority of the highways are great fun. I had the pleasure to ride in a Lamborghinni ( or however that name is spelled) a few years ago at speeds near 200 on the H2 highway and know that as long as you do it safely, the local cops may not bust your chops too bad. We got caught once for doing over a 100mph out by the Campbell Industrial Park and got nothing more than a warning. I told the nice officer that we were merely testing the new motor before I bought the car.
The drags are a lot of fun and the boys out there gave us a lot of help when we broke on one of the runs.
Being an island boy from another island which has a high influence of import cars, I can see where my island brother is coming from on his mods. I think that it looks great. However, I would like to see him make it look betta da' kine with some nice wheels. Actually, he might adapt a smaller wing for the front too.
SO Brah, no worries on what the mainland boys think! Just do what you like!
It looks sweet...just fininsh it.....
:cheers: Hang looose!

Re: (Sharky Guam)
Eh howzit Sharky Guam!!! Oh!!! finally i get some back up!! I thought that I was on my own here!! I do have plans for another set of rims.. in fact, in about a month or less, my buddy's giving me his set of stock 1999 C-5 rims, the ones that are 5 large spoked and are 18's in the back, 17's in the front!?! And to answer Preachers Question... yes we do have enough room here to take advantage of the wing.. IF I wanted to, I have gone 145MPH already on the H-1 freeway, the same freeway that Sharky Guam mentioned earlier. And yes to your other question about the wing being cosmedic, The vette already creates down force when it reaches a certain speed, the car will lower closer to the ground after a certain speed is reached!!!! So I have it set for the least amount of down force on Da Okole!!! :p:

Re: (Double Clutch)
I see on your profile that you are a working stunt man. Don't tell me that you do work for Tom Sellick or maybe you worked on the Charlie's Angels movie. Or maybe you do the high dollar tv soaps stuff. How about some pics of the stars with some cars on the sets that you worked on? Can you post some pics? Those C5 wheels are gonna look Ono on your ride. There are alot of nice vettes in Oahu.
Aloha! :seeya

Re: (Double Clutch)
Actually, looking like a shopping cart was the whole Idea!! My wife and I gave up both of our cars, mine being a 13 sec 78 Grand prix with a 400 chevy small block, 750 Edelbrock carb, 373 limited slip chevy S.S rear end, a mild 488 lift- 224 / 324 duration cam, and ultra full flow exhaust system!! for something thats a little slower but more classy looking. Yeah looking like a shopping cart like I had mentioned earlier was the whole idea, you see now with only one car, and a lot less trunk space, we figured that we'd set this babie up to be able to haul our groceries around... pretty smart huh?:jester This wing does look better in person, the pictures that we took does'nt do it justice. And besides some of those who are responding negatively are probably the same ones who like they'er cars to look like clones of other cars.... you seen, one you seen them all!!! I like to be different, thats what God intended us to be, some of use have forgotten that, why do you think that theres so much trouble happening all over the world now? Because of people not able to except other people being different, either because of they're looks, what they believe in, the lingo they speak, the way they dress. I AM.. different, then, Joe, Bob, Henry, John, Betty, Jim, Ed, Mike, Gary, Ben, Leslie, Rick, Jacob, Chris, Art fartknocker, etc,etc,etc. If that makes me and odd ball, or a bad person because of wanting to break out, so be it... I guess thats what I am. Mahalo for your responses!!! :p:

Re: (Double Clutch)
I've seen smaller wings on Boeing 747's... Do you serve peanuts on your ride? I may book you next time I go to Hawaii and need to get to Oahu.

Re: (Double Clutch)
Go get 'em braddah! I like it when a local boy tells it like it is! I say yea to freedom of speech and human rights. We island folk that live in a "melting pot" culture know how to break down barriers and respect each other. The world is a much better place with no barriers. We are all brothers here. No use fighting and squabbling. We all love the Corvette!
Shut up and wave! :seeya :seeya :seeya :seeya

Every thing paid for! Probably more info than you wanted.

Oh My God!! those darn cars are sporting the same type of wing that I have on my car?!?!?! C-4's & C-5's, And.... you got to be kinding me.... are they winning races left & right,?!?!? People!! lets band together, and tell those idiots that those cars with the wings on them look like "SHOPPING CARTS"!!!! why!!!!..... dont they know how rediculous it looks??!! So what if they'er winning over... Porches, Bmw's, Mercedes, Ford Mustangs, Even Dodges baddast car...THE VIPER!!! It does'nt matter!! So what!! The don't know what they're doing!!!Like Us average folk who call road racing, going down a free way 60 or 70, maybe 80 mph racing ricers!! So what if they're beating some of the best road racers around!! we're trying to beat the traffic to work every day... there and back!!!, we know what works & what does'nt!! We know what looks good and what does'nt!!! And we say... "THE SHOPPING CART" look is defenitly out!!! Besides with wings that big they look like "THEY"RE GOING TO TAKE OFF"!!! :smash: :p:
