The spoiler is a pretty standard GT86 spoiler......They are everywhere in overseas.

It's fitting, especially since Subaru has their notorious handle wing on their STI.

I'm not too big of a fan, it could use some aesthetic improvements though.


It's also not much different than the one commonly found on the Supra.

Sti and supra wing aren't even close to how bad that is.

I still find it entertaining that even after 20+ years, the 2JZ is still one of the best motors that people swap to.

C'mon OEM manufacturers. It was possible in the 90's.....Maybe bring the idea to the 21st century..

We have yet to see a modern comparable motor to the 2JZ or the RB30...and I'm kind of annoyed by that....

Maybe its cheaper than a 21st century engine? I doubt anyone would be buying the engine from a GTR for the price they can get a 2JZ for....

Its easily possible now if you are going to set out to build a off road only motor. With all of the emissions laws now its not nearly as easy as it once was to crank out power. Fuel economy is a huge factor in all cars.
Not to mention with engineering these days its very easy to set a power level in mind and build it to spec for that. The 2JZ is hella over-engineered.

I'm referring to height and overall shape. The biggest difference is the connecting base. It's not that horrendous, there are far worse oversized wings out there.

Yeah, it's definitely all about costs..And like Axis said, emissions too....

I guess in actuality, I'm just missing straight 6's...And I'm whining about it. haha. I know we can make those pass the emissions standards, but it's the cost that....well.....costs...


And I really dislike the VR38dett as the idea of a "swappable" motor because it weighs over 600 pounds, and with costs in the five figures...You could build just about anything to the spec you'd want.
