Rice or not?

[voltaire]

IMO:<P>-That whole front end sticks out WAY to far.<P>-What's with those supports holding up the "splitter"? That's NAAAAASTY!<P>-And what's up with the little round inlet to the left of the hood indent? What the hell is that for?|? We won't even go into the indent(well, it's not a scoop!) itself.<P>-Those eyelids are weird.<P>-The MX-3 is not a hot rod, keep all guages in the interior please.<P>I can't see what's going on over on the sides too well, but I suspect that it's not a pretty sight.<P>Dunno if I'd call that ricey though...

thats a little more then ide prefer but i give mad props for all that work especally right hand drive, thats gotta be hard to do. as well as worthless unless your just showing off, but still cool. ide prefer to keep mine a sleeper!

I don't like the kit but splitter is ok. I guess you need to be into function over form to understand that the splitter helps with frontal lift. If you think that is rice than you must think canards and difusers are ricey too. [img]shrug.gif"%20border="0[/img]

Does anybody know where that front kit is from??? Is that a custom kit or one you can order???? it looks like a kit that would go on a rx-7, I dunno anybody know where he got this?????????

i tilooks like fxdesign kit<BR>I personally dont like the front bumper of fxdesign

[marshmallow15]

it's the aresspeed body kit located in australia.<P>a splitter helps diffuse air going under the chassis and prevents it from swirling around in the engine bay which helps you in the long run because it helps achieve higher mph....it also provides downforce if angled with the stabilizer. may look like rice, but its functional.<P>front cf diffusers and canards are like a wing for fwd....it attatches to the side of your car and provides downforce for the front.<P>fyi, skylines and other really fast cars in japan use these aerodynamic techniques with splitters and diffusers in the front AND rear. i dont hear you guys calling skylines rice?

I think that car looks sweet.

[FroSTeD]

Common, it's not a car but a bulldozer.

[Paragon]

hmmm...that car looks like it's squinting and has a bad overbite...and the splitter supports make it look like it's drooling. (sorry, i have a bad habit of picturing faces on cars)

[VizualXTC]

I actually like how that car looks. I'm sure tey put a lot of time, effort, and money into making that car look that way. I respect them for their hard work and dedication to the MX-3. If you're on the board, good work!

the link for the companies web page is <A HREF="http://www.aresspeed.com.au/" TARGET=_blank>http://www.aresspeed.com.au/</A> i was working on a deal with the side skirts from them they have pretty good prices.

[solace]

I too was in contact with them and yes they gave me an awsome price for the kit but said the freight to ship it to the U.S. was ungodly and probly not worth it unless a group buy was done.
