Wing problem solved! I Gots me one

Thanks to all who replyed to my post about purchasing one. I ended up buying a Misha GT2 wing for the slim hip....Just wanted to say I'll post pics once its here and on the car.I will be asking for some tips to install it when its ready.Thanks Dan ( Vivid Racing) for hooking it up.....

Good for you. Can't wait to see the pics. First tip on the instillation, and this is VERY important: Don't install it up-side down!

schweet!! Post those pics when you get it installed. BTW - Second that for Dan. Good guy!! Chad

After the wing is installed will you drop the "Still kinda boring really" please? Your car has really come a long way, well done!

Thanks for the support guys! Appreciate it!

I love my Misha wing, but be sure to get the front splitter if you can or lower the front end or you may get some buffeting from the front end lifting as the rear has more downforce at high speeds. I used the GT2 front end and it is very stable at 165 plus. Will

24hr and no pictures? Doesn't that break some kind of law?

Kirbs still not in my hot little hands, The second its on the second you all will get pics, Any tricks to installing it? What happens with the wing light on the cluster , does that need to be bypassed some how.

Here is my wing install... http://www.funcarsonline.com/gallery/album26

I went by Kirby's step-by-step instructions, and it installed perfectly. Thanks for the tips, Kirb. It would have been a bitch without your photos and instructions! Good Luck - Gregg

Glad it helped you! Love it when I can help someone out!

how was the prep work

Misha Wings come in pretty good shape...it's not perfect but compared to some other companies it's at the top in quality. I've done 3 wings so far including mine and all have fit perfectly. Of course the paint match and stuff is dependant on the bodyshop you use.

Hey Kirby Is there any bypass harness for the wing light in the cluster, I am not even sure i need this, I just thought that if it thinks there is no wing there it would blow a code, Is this the case??

When you disconnect the motor, there will be these two microswtiches. These microswtiches are what triggers the motorized wing to raise and lower at speed. I just tiestrapped those microswitches down and so far no spoiler warning light. There is also a bypass harness that you can buy from the dealer (or us). It usually comes with the Porsche Aerokit since you need to remove the motorized wing when you put it on. Off hand I do not know the harness part #. I know this was mentioned before and you can doa search for the Harness or try searching over at Renntech.org for the part #

the wiring harness # is 996 612 070 51. I jost got one myself for my Misha wing install. Haven't gotten around to doing the installation yet though.

Thought you might like to see a pic of my new Misha wing installed for a little inspiration.

hey guys, after bolting on the wing, did u put back the fan and shroud and stuff under the lid?

There are three harnesses available from porsche, ~51, noted above around 50$, 30sec install, no brake light. The other is ~04 with a brake light, around 100$, the third is a C4S aero harness about 400$, identicle to the ~04 harness. You need the harness to avoid' spoiler fail' lights. You will nee some sort of front splitter, without it, I found the wing very unstable at speed on the track, I added a TT lip, fixed the problem...... then I got tired of it and sold the wing. Omar, I reinstalled all that crap, no problem.

Ok Porsche called and told me my wing was ready...I will have pics by Sat night!

niice i wonder if misha's site will ever be fully up and operational.

I hope so, I have a ton of pictures for him. Kilrgt, can't wait to see the final product.

here is a picture of the motorswitches I tie strapped together to bypass the warning light.

Hey guys - about a month ago I had posted a thread about a carrera rear wing I purchased from Departstop. Still don't have the wireharness and light that goes with the wing and I'm not confident that Dayton will ever come up with the goods (bought the wing in August).... does the light/wire harness mentioned in the previous posts work with the carrera wing? Kirby - Can you hook me up with the harness I need? I just want to get the darn wing installed on my car! Here's the replica wing I purchased... Carrera Rear Wing

yes

So just to be clear on the part# - I need 996 612 070 04 This will get me a wireharness and the brake light.....correct? The info I received from DepartStop was that ALL these kits shipped to dealers/etc were screwed up and that its pointless to try and buy one because they will all be incorrect. Has anyone installed one recently to know that this isn't the case? Thanks again for all your help...Will

That's the one with a B light.

wlee69 I sent you a PM

Hey Kirbs...which one do I tie strap, I did both and I am getting the code, whats the trick?? Thanks for your help i advance

Kilrgt, I'm not sure which one, they both look the same. Do you have a way to reset the warning light? (Disconnect the battery for a minute). So the light came on at 75mph? Make sure you tie strap it tight and that the button is depressed. Sorry I couldn't be more help...

Thanks for the reply kirb, yea I tied them both down and it still blew a code. I should have the new harness in by weeks end, a little code wont stop me !!
