Same… slowly the project is coming together. I think its been like 20-30 versions before landing on this… lots of late nights

One side is done-ish, just need some hardware to hold the lower brackets on. Sizing and proportions I think will suit the car nicely. Cant wait for the whole thing to be done for test fitting. The main deck will take at least a week to print out. I was going to buy the cf rods and the 3M...

I was able to slant (with minimal design changes) the riser to push the bottom mount closer to the edge of the trunk, effectively giving it more space in case some people may want to run a ducktail in junction. @rwense Let me know what you think. Also added a secondary more aggressive AoA...

That is yet to be determined... For that i would need to get over a few hurdles to give a realistic answer. 1. I'd need to gauge real interest, meaning id need a group buy commitment of at least 25. 2. CFD analysis. I want to verify that the design actually produces downforce and how much/...

Started printing some of the parts. These are the endplates. Printed in PET-CF17. These are pretty much end product. The actual deck will be printed in the same filament but thicker walls. The deck will be 7 sections, roughly 15-18 hrs of print time each in terms of weight, so far were...

Top mount for the deck attachment. I would consider this a finished product... just a mount nothing to it really.... this is likely to stay this way. Pockets drilled out for CNC and removed for excess weight. 3x holes ...2 at 15deg 1 at 25 deg i believe (actually don't remember now ). This...

10mm should be doable… might need to rework the tops in order to do that but i was planning on doing that anyway. Im happy with the way they look but i can reduce bulk on those as well since its cnc focused now.

I see what you mean about the ducktail… i wanted to try retain the ft-1’s mounting position as much as possible. Unfortunately the oem trunk is so weak towards the middle otherwise I probably would have gone a bit closer in. I might try further reduce the bulk on the mount.

Updated trunk mounts. If I go the CNC route, which seems to be most likely, I can go lower profile, giving a sleeker more oem look. I can thread directly into the body of the mount and use a middle "diagonal drilled" bolt to give it more shear resistance and stability. The tops I may leave...

Once the design is more or less finalized, ill probably shop around for a reputable engineering firm to run some simulation on it. Its a good selling feature imo to know exactly what you're getting. This way the track guys know how it stacks up against more track oriented options (but don't want...

Endplate update.... Looks sleeker

Customer base: any supra owner that wants this look really… not trying to exclude any potential buyers but with that in mind it needs to check off both boxes. Motorsport and aesthetics. I want feedback from supra owners because thats who im doing this for. Maybe one say ill be one. The mounts...

Internal structure support reinforced by 8mm aluminum or cf tubes (cf most likely. spans the entire wing with overlap to spread forces and ensure minimal flex. Endplate design, stayed as true to FT-1 as I could. Took some liberties with the top portion to give it more complete look but also...

Not opposed to it. After reading up On it, it seems like a very free upgrade 👌. Keep the suggestions coming! I want to try provide the best possible wing

So with the diameter of the bolt that attaches the deck mount to the riser, it would have been impossible to make the mounts adjustable. I just made 3 separate risers that give the wing 7, 8.5 and 10deg of AoA. Originally i had in mind to print the the deck out of PET-cf and the mounts out of...

This was extremely helpful lol… i dug a little deeper into the rear glass angle and i was off on my design. For the supra 5-7deg is kind of the sweet spot with an additional 2-3 deg for aggressive aero needs

Updated mounts

Ive adjusted the Wing's natural angle to 7deg Span is 1300mm Chord 280mm Height is increased to 305mm off the trunk (highest point to highest point) The actual wing profile is thicker than the previous The shape is more influenced by the trunk Things to work on: - endplates - the entire support...

I can definitely reposition the wing to 5 degrees. Currently its setup for m8 bolts and larger diameter bolt holes need more rotation for clearance. I could go down to m6’s and squeeze some adjustment out of it. I could neutralize it and give it 3 potential slots for 3,6,9 degrees

or…. Do i chop off the ends and make it a combo of the ft1+ cgt wing when fully extended? For this id likely need to scale the wing to make the chord longer to compensate for shorter span.
