Arabas,

I wrote instructions for RK Sport.  You can follow them for your new wing. 

See link.

So Arabas, now that you have the wing on, that must mean your car is now way faster than Kelu and his non-wing car right?!?

Nope the wing causes more down force so his car corners better but that down force is a result of more drag.  So Kelu's car will be faster due to less drag but won't corner as well which Kelu doesn't care about since his car only goes in straight lines.  Now if he ever had to turn then he would be screwed.

OK you may be right, but if Arabus were to put racing stripes on his car, then for sure he would kick Kelu's butt straight or twisty!!!

That one works negatively actually Kelu.  Once you have a sun visor with a mirror in it, he will have many women sitting in his passenger seat, leading to increased weight in the car (I hear he likes them plump) and slowing him down!!

 Hey now...Dont be hatin on guys that Love Plump or Full Figured Women :D ...havent you ever heard the phrase: "More cushion for the pushin",  :devil: or how about, "Skinny girls are for wimps", "Thick is IT", "Bigger is Better", "Skinny is NOT easy, so I chose SEXY instead", "Bootylicious",  :drool:  "Curvalicious", one that is very near and dear to my heart, as it should be for any Kappa Lover...  :drag: "Dangerous Curves Ahead"  ;) ...Some might call them plump, thick, large, or maybe even be alil mean and call them fat...but being the Full Figured Aficionado that I am, I might use BBW (Big Beautiful Woman) on occasion, but my preferred moniker is VIVACIOUS VOLUPTUOUS VIXENS!!!  For in my experience...they certainly live up to that in so many wonderful ways!!!     :yay:

Wow Moby you got yourself into that one and you weren't even trying.

Maybe Arabus installed the wing upside down so that it would generate up force to counteract her down force.  Kelu don't tell him that even though the lift will help to reduce weigh the mass is what is important and still present.

KWhale,

HEY!   All I did was mention that Arabus might be dating larger women!!  I didn't say there was anything wrong with that, other than the extra weight in the passenger seat!  I have nothing against BFW personally, just making an observation.

guys, guys, my name is Arabas, not Arabus... (short for my family name Arabatzidakis- friends usually call me Arab, but when i registered here i thought that Arab would not make a good impression...)

skinny women or full, i like them all, as long as certain requirements are met: beautifull, sexy and rich!!!!!

i really don t think that the rear wing will help me cornering or will make the car less fast, since i certainly don't drive the car to it's limits. the differences might be visible to a race driver, but not me.

now Kelu, i weight 70 kg and i have all the goodies you have (except for IC), boost way past 1,75kpa..
what makes you think that you would win?? then you said drift... i m in for that, let's compete!!!
you buy the tickets to Romania for all our kappaperformance friends here and i will come to Romania to race you in a straight line, track and drift!!  :poke:

It's all good ASET, I was just using your post to poke some fun at Arabas (I still think Arabus sounds better) and Kelu.  I however will not get sucked into a fat or not fat discussion...I have too many topics already that offend people without adding a new one  :)
