The kognition wings quality is about as good as it gets..it took me about 14 hours to do, partialy because i measure stuff 600 times. It was difficult to cut the bumper all up and notch the truck to make it fit, but its well worth the handling. I cant believe the difference. Here are the install pics

Very cool. I'm sure you'll catch flak for having a big wing on a street car, but I've often wondered how cool it would be to drive my racecar on the street. Hows the lateral deflection on your wing mounts? Most people I know (myself included) have done more reinforcement up top to keep the deflection to a minimum.

Some day I will build a street replica of the racecar.

BTW, you need a bigger splitter :P

Looks great! Nice job on the install

VGLNTE1

Working on the splitter now :-) i cut the bumper just right so it holds the wing as well. I was worried about it cuz it mounts so low..but seems to be good. We will see when i track it again. My street car is ny racecar ;-)

If I were you I'd put some mounts to the fiberglass tub near the top. These wings can produce an insane amount of downforce, and with it comes all kinds of rattles and vibrations. The more support the better. Otherwise looking good man.

I did think of doing that, but i was to tired to work on it more...lol

Where did you test it?


Don't forget to level the rake during lunch hours to hold your sandwich and drink!

Wally,

I drive mine to the supermarket all the time.





Sorry, couldn't resist........

VGLNTE1

The street. Lol. I dont follow the laws to much..

Falcon

Let me see if I understand this, are the only things you have holding the uprights to the car are those 2 angle brackets?

As Wally said, there's a lot of force being exerted on that wing, and the further you have the attachments from the wing the longer the lever action on the uprights.

travisnd

Yeah you need to really beef up that mount IMO.

wallyman424

Holy crap mike. When did you do that???? Color me jealous.

Kubs

I would make a bracket that bolts to the top of the frame piece, that them comes down and bots to the side of the wing support. The fewer bolts in single shear the better.

Falcon

Did you really drive that thing on the street?

Surely the cops wouldn't just let you pass by if they saw it, would they?

I live in the middle of nowhere but am still reluctant to drive mine on the street for mild testing, much less on a main street like that.

VGLNTE1

Why wouldnt you be able to?

Falcon

Mine is a full on race car. Straight pipes, no license, no registration, no insurance, no inspection, no DOT restraints, etc. What neighbors I have wouldn't look too kindly on me blowing down the road with a lot of noise.

That would invite a visit from the local constabulary pretty quickly and an untold number of tickets would follow.

AU N EGL

I thought he was one of the guys who hung out at the Big Pine Key Bait shop ?

Falcon

Yea, but I've pissed him off lately.

dvandentop

not gonna lie got some wing envy here

Rob31

I have a rear cover if you mess one up ...
