My sister has an '89 s13 SE fastback, but it's stock foam wing was mangled and ripped off by the prior owner. I honestly didn't care for it's look anyhow, so I'm looking for a replacement. Don't want anything big n ugly, just something there. Any thoughts on the s14 wing on an s13 fastback (nice n cheap)? Could any of you s14 owners measure out the bolt configuration for meh? I'll keep trying to picture it in my mind, figger if the lines would look right. . .

Dankes

I, too am in search for a nice spoiler.  Nothing flashy, but something that looks like it might have come on it stock.

hehehe, I don't need downforce. I'd be better off putting some weight in my trunk <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'> The poor car just doesn't look too great with that rusty stub on the rear deck.

Do you want a supra style spoiler, or something like the same style as the old one, but maybe a little bigger and nicer???

Here are some spoilers I think would look cool on the S13.

I like the one all the way on top. I have the stock coupe one, and I love it. But, as I said, I've got the trunk. I don't think I'd change it at all. I get to look at it (and my exhaust) all day long, cause my car is parked five feet away from my window at work. Ahh... I wish I had an SR20DET.

Those are cheap, at PDM. Their whole body line is cheap as ####! I'd say get it if you're done with performance.

You know as much as I'm against ricing a beautiful car, but I do have the craving every once in a while to put on a big spoiler and some stickers.

My name is ben, and I'm a rice-a-roni.

I do like the look of PDM Racing's spoiler, nice and subtle and not foam. I don't know how I'd feel about trying to fill in the stock holes, though. . . Those sideskirts may be something to consider, I've got a nasty dent below my driver side door. . . Oh well, intake comes first <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=':p'>

Of those spoilers/wings pictured I like the third one one the black fast back. It has a little size to it and it has a cool style. Kinda bold but not to overdone. That is something that I like. My car will be a balance between performance(some form of turbo after i graduate from school) look and of course ICE(In car electronics) oh god how do i love reading the british max power...

Does nebody know if S13 spoilers and S14 ones r interchangable? Are the measurements the same? I want to get rid of the supra style spoiler that came with the car when I bought it, but I haven't seen that many choices for spoilers for the S14, so I just want to know if the aftermarket S13 spoilers might be an option too.

The Porsche wings are standard on some of their cars here too, I think. I've seen a few of them. They rise as soon as the car hits 40mph. It's f'n kewl ! Oh, yeah, i don't think anyone makes them for 240s.

AHHH that fifth wing, in that series of pics, looks like that new picnic bench they sell at Walmart... <img src="http://www.zilvia.net/f/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/wink.gif" border="0" valign="absmiddle" alt=';)'>

well honestly, I myself like those semi high tourning wings(the real ones)
thats why im going to turn my s13 into a touring car adn slap that baby on there, and as far as the RICE TOPIC yes i can back up that image and bodykit up with that new motor im gonna get.... muhahahaha

Anyone know if a trubo and supercharger at once has ever been done (succesfully) on any car?

Actually yes a super/turbo charger setup has been done. It involved using a valve to switch between the super on the low end and the turbo on the high end. Not practical or really the best way to make HO.
