Have you considered the OHC Exi-S spoiler .. like the one on my ride ?

IMO it's pretty discreet and doesn't take away from the understated look of the car.

Hi Manveet,

Thats what I was considering as well, problem is I cannot find anyone who has it in Mumbai. Can you find out if it is available in delhi and for how much.

Wanted suggestions

For spoiler, I would suggest a black carbon fibre one which would match with the black wheels of your ride.
But anyway, will the spoiler help anyway in improving performance?? Since you're preparing for the Speed Run, I guess it will only add unnecessary weight, right?

Jiggy, dump all the body mods if you're serious about the Speedrun - it'll add unnecessary weight, & won't really make a difference for the quarter-mile, IMHO. You won't be requiring serious airflow assisted handling for that. Besides, the airflow characteristics of your existing body kit (like most others locally available) may be suspect.

No, it helps the car handle better by providing rigidity.

More info in following threads ..

http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/techni...rut-brace.html (What is a Strut Brace........)

http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/modifi...sway-bars.html (Strut Braces & Sway Bars)

http://www.team-bhp.com/forum/access...race-vtec.html (Strut Brace on a Vtec)

Hope the above helped.
Regards

@ramie2400: A strut brace is used to enhance structural rigidity, & it's benefits are most evident during cornering.

It has nothing whatsoever to do with the intake system.

@viper: Just saw your alloys. Really like them. Nice tyres even.

Wanna exchange with mine?

Man just ran into Viper and his machine getting Brembos fixed, in Shivaji Park and had a close look at his machine inside and under the hood!! WOWIE!! Great job buddy. Would have almost started salivating, had I not been bothered about spoiling his paint job!! and Viper was there with his car like a doting and proud father, giving his usual instructions to the guys who were tinkering with his car. Will love to see it perform at the speed run. Will be there to cheer u up Vippy...
