hey guys!
We're Big Country Labs (http://www.bigcountrylabs.com). We make big (67") GT wings and we're doing our first run for pre-orders.
A quick bit about our wings:
They're available with 2 different leg types, cutout (Stew style) and solid. Our biggest goal was to make an affordable and cool wing. We work through local channels to keep the wing 100% made in the USA. More info on our website (http://www.bigcountrylabs.com).
Steel mounting plates infused into the wing deck - no delaminating
Powder-coated steel upper and lower mounts
Aluminum uprights (legs)
Uprights available in 2 heights
All hardware included
Every wing is individually serialized and comes with hand-stamped serial plate.
Price:
$530
+shipping [usually ~$60 in the US]

You can email us with questions at
[email protected] or PM here

Elevens' loves Big Country Labs! So excited to see these ready for sale. The made in America aspect is something I like to see pointed out. As a business owner here in the US I'm in full support of any company doing business this way. Definitely a selling point in my opinion.
Darren or Colin I have been meaning to send you duders an email about buying one for a customer of mine, would be for a 86. I will send you the query in a day or so! Again, really excited for you guys and I know the future is going to be great working together as it already has been thus far <3

thanks for bringing some extra attention to the made in the USA thing. China was cheaper but we're bigger fans of the USA in general. Shoot us an email about your customer,

Just wondering. Is there any CFD work? Or is it just a looks wing?
Nope, just real world on a couple of sweet drift cars with seasoned drivers. Their feedback has been that it significantly changes the handling characteristics, especiallly at 60+mph. George Marstanovic has been running the BCL wing on his car since Rd. 1 of Formula D at LBC. He said he could feel it most at ATL coming down the big hill, with the wing he could really throw the car into corners in a way that would have previously had him spinning. He also said that 15mins after putting on the wing he had a 5 oclock shadow.

Costa Mesa is a good city to be in! There's 2 of us running this BCL thing, one of us lives in Costa Mesa and the other works there! We have one pre-production wing that's being used right now for fitment checks on Evo, S2000 and SC300/400, after that I'll send it with my partner to meet up with you down in Costa Mesa? Maybe it'd be good for you guys to meet at the fair and have funnel cakes after #BCLfunnelcakeparty

You forgot the wright brothers, this show (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wings_(NBC_TV_series)), and maxi-pads.

First off, Sy is.... THE MAN!
Second, can you get us your trunk width in inches at the very back and 13" forward? IS300 trunk is pretty flat from what I can remember, so the universal application may fit. If not we'd have to take a look at a car in person to ensure a good fit. :naughty:
Big Country Labs
08-05-2012, 01:53 PM
Also a reminder, we'll be doing these in waves of production until we can get a feel for what's most popular to stock, so hop in on this pre-order if you want one sooner than later :)!

Just wondering. Is there any CFD work? Or is it just a looks wing?
I talked to Darren about the profile and compared it to a couple of heavily CFD'd wings we had here at the shop - his design has a lot of camber, and should do well at big angle, even with a Gourney flap. Definitely not a 'just for looks' wing, especially at the 67" span up in clean air.
are these adjustable???
I believe the stands have multiple holes drilled for adjustment, I didn't see provisions for a threaded adjuster - most wing builders prefer the swiss-cheese, multiple-hole approach since you know it'll be level left-to-right and it's more reliable.

I think we may have to hit you up for pictures! Is yours the megalow evo I've seen scraping around Villa Park?

Yes, adjustable pitch by multiple holes on the mounts.

We can try for you, but no guarantees :) we do deal with small local companies to get all of our components and that often throws a wrench in the works. In the future we will have them stocked. Have fun at no coast party time super drifty bash party!

End plates don't come on the wing, but it comes with hardware and threaded holes. You could put sandwiches, paper plates, whatever you want on the end of there :)

Here's a little profile illustration that shows the difference in rake between the cutout/solid uprights. It's not to scale - the man-height solid uprights are taller than the cutout uprights.

That's good to hear it made a noticeable difference. I've been surprised there aren't more affordable "big wing" options out there with the popularity of the style and more time attack builds.
Any idea how much drag this thing is making at higher speeds?
Big Country Labs
08-15-2012, 06:07 PM
Any idea how much drag this thing is making at higher speeds?
Well... a lot - drag is a consequence of downforce. F1 cars have drag coefficients around .7, compared to the .3 you'd see for something like a camry.

Right, but a better wing design will have a more favorable ratio of downforce to drag. It sounds like this thing is making a big difference on track, but I was just curious if the drivers felt like their speeds at the end of straights were slower as a result of drag.
I'm interested in this for lapping days rather than drift, hence my concern.
Interested in pics of S14 Zenki fitment!

Fun Fact: even with only 400hp, george set the highest entry speed in qualifying. Can't do that with mechanical grip alone...
