veritech-z Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 qaud TURBO Looks more like twin turbo with draw through weber side draughts to me... Hey Primadonna, where in Florida are you? If you're ever around at an event or something, I'd LOVE to see that car up close! (with or without the cooling fans on the wheels...) Ernie, if you could find a picture of a Countach with a front spoiler, that would be awesome! I've been looking for a picture of that for the longest time! I KNEW they came that way, but nobody has any pictures on the web at all...Also, the 2nd Gen MR-2 supposedly had a front spoiler out there somewhere too, and I can't find pictures of that either...

Ledphoot Posted December 30, 2006 Share Posted December 30, 2006 I love the 58 buick bumper on the front of the "dually". Nothing like old american iron to make a bull bar!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roger I don't actually belong to any organization but Hybridz (I'm not going to claim Classiczcars since I'm not that active over there)...My grandfather lives in St. Pete so I'm there every Tuesday hanging out at his place. Now that I've got my Megasquirt working, I'll probably try and get more active in the scene. I'm sure I'll see you at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nismo280zEd Posted January 2, 2007 Share Posted January 2, 2007 kinda funny that that car needs more downforce on the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nismo280zEd Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Happy New Year Ed!! The front spoiler wasn't intended for front end downforce. FYI! The gray market Lambo Countach when it was imported into the US in the late 70's early '80 actually got away with Federal certification for front bumpers using a front spoiler! At least that was the info I received from one of the importers because I painted the front "bumper" spoiler for this Lambo Countach! Ernie/RacerX Happy new year to you as well Ernie. Hope you had a good Christmas. That's pretty funny that spoilers slid by for bumpers lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TeamNissan Posted January 3, 2007 Share Posted January 3, 2007 Happy new year to you as well Ernie. Hope you had a good Christmas. That's pretty funny that spoilers slid by for bumpers lol. I think they let that slide on expensive cars because they cant test it. Know what I mean? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
veritech-z Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Ernie, that's the picture! I saw it in your photogallery while I was at work (for some reason, they've blocked the forums, but not the gallery or the classifieds, so I log in to see if I've got any PMs every so often)! Now I just need to find the second gen MR-2 front spoiler, and we're in business...I like how they mounted that on the countach though, right through the valence into what one assumes is the crash bumper (did it even have one?). Looks like it has some kind of quick release deals on it too, like a hood pin type device. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globerunner513 Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 isn't that front spoiler upside down? looks like it would create more lift than downforce... but i guess as was stated above its not for downforce? lol whatever...just had to point it out i guess EDIT: after looking at the pic/racer x's post i guess its to create lift in the front making the rear end go down correct?

veritech-z Posted January 4, 2007 Share Posted January 4, 2007 Yeah, it would be much safer to put a rear spoiler on the back then to make the front end light at speed. The later countaches had so many spoilers and gills they look like characatures of themselves... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Globerunner513 Posted January 5, 2007 Share Posted January 5, 2007 You NEVER want to create lift lol. lol...yea i realize this...thats why the spoiler confused me so much, and still does... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
