SPOILER ALERT!

[–]dial_m_for_me 68 points69 points ago

It's a shame that spoiler will never work properly because that stand won't let the car reach a decent speed.

[–]CreaminFreeman 69 points70 points ago

But it's got that hole for improved airflow.

Homer trys to by a car as crusty

I'm no grammar nazi, but COME ON.

[–]TehFence 0 points1 point ago

Technically not even wrong. I don't know if it's still done today, but in the earlier days of racing, before they had today's tools for shaping the metal and were able to and properly handle light materials like aluminum, they did drill holes in non-weight bearing parts of the car to save weight, which made the car indeed go faster.

[–]green_cheese 4 points5 points ago

As someone who knows amatuer racers, this is still very much done. Everything is cut to bits to be as small as possible.

[–]fastdub 0 points1 point ago

Indeed, my bug has everything non structural drilled out, bumpers, bumper brackets, underside of my bonnet etc etc. Also my race triumph tiger cub ran so cold I drilled out the cooling fins on the cylinder heads.

[–]EugeneMJC 10 points11 points ago

But spoilers add +5 horse power.

[–]dougefresh91 5 points6 points ago

[–]brinksman10 6 points7 points ago

Negative drag? Isn't that.. thrust?

[–]GeneralBS 1 point2 points ago

Forza?

[–]Bombadildo1 8 points9 points ago

The car won't let the car reach a decent speed, it's a celica.

[–]TehFence 9 points10 points ago

The Celica of that generation had (stock) engines with up to 232 hp in the top model. Which this isn't. And the Celica of the next generation was and is successfully used as a rally car.

Well. That thing is a run-down piece of shit, but I don't think the Celica is a bad car at all.

[–]Bombadildo1 2 points3 points ago

Saying something is used as a rally car is a poor argument, lots of shitty cars are used as rally cars, the car may be not be anything close to stock to be a rally car. And even in it's peak years the celica GT-Four RC in the early 90's (which is what I assume you are referencing) wasn't a great car. If I had to pick the best versions, I'd go back further to the celica supras and if I had to buy a car in the earily 90's it'd be a supra since it's basically just the better version of a celica. This very specific model isn't bad but really celicas in general are crap especially newer models which for the most part are driven by people who seem to think they are comparable to a Ferrari and put stickers and loud exhausts on them.

[–]Bombadildo1 0 points1 point ago

Depends entirely on the rally we're speaking of

This is the point though, saying something is a rally car is pointless without giving any specifics, or giving results to the races, what if it raced stock and just came in a distance last place every race, that's a rally car, but it still sucks. This is why saying something was used as a rally car is useless. I never said that every celica in ever rally ever was not close to stock, I said saying something was a rally car is dumb.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]Bombadildo1 -1 points0 points ago

A 2s google search shows you which rally (WRC) and classification is raced in and how it placed.

I never said anything about if it actually was a bad rally car I said saying it was a rally car is pointless. Successfully used means it was used as a rally car, doesn't say any placings or give any connotation. Saying it was successfully used as a rally car just means that it was able to be a rally car. I have no idea why you decided to start trying to make your ridiculous argument, but your points are pretty dumb, I could take an old lumina and successfully drive it in a rally stock, that doesn't make it a good car that means I drove it in a rally. tl;dr, saying something was a rally car does not make it a good car, your arguments are dumb.

[–][deleted] ago

[deleted]

[–]Bombadildo1 -1 points0 points ago

Successfully used means that it was used as a rally car and did not fail, it was able to be a rally car, it does not mean it did well. And again, for the 4th time, he did not say what rallys the car was competing in, not all rallys have rules saying it needs to be close to stock, god fucking damn it read that line 90 times please, you don't seem to understand it. Yes WRC has rules, not all rallys have the same rules, should I repeat this some more or did this make it through your thick skull? I could successfully drive an old Lumina in a rally, it does not mean it won, it means that it was successful in driving in a rally I successfully used it as a rally car. Holy fucking balls this is like talking to a brick wall. tl;dr for the last 10 posts. Successfully used as a rally car does not mean it was a good car.

[–]ofcourseimright 2 points3 points ago

The spoiler looks like the one on an Eclipse.

[–]rnepmc 0 points1 point ago

Came here to say that it is from the 90s eclipse.

[–]DoomsDay13 0 points1 point ago

Could also be one of the stock spoilers from the 2000+ models of the celicas. So when the guy asked for a celica spoiler, he failed to mention what year, or just thought they were all the same

[–]rnepmc 0 points1 point ago

You couldn't be more wrong. Google before you post up your grand hypothesis.

[–]DoomsDay13 0 points1 point ago

I owned a 2000 celica gts, and had the stock spoiler, not the TRD spoiler

[–]rnepmc 0 points1 point ago

thats neat. keep digging the hole.

[–]EatGulp 1 point2 points ago

That is some serious aerodynamics hard at work, enzo Ferrari would be envious at the craftsmanship as well as the sleek technological influence in the design.

[–]R0mme1 1 point2 points ago

A huge muffler is what the car needs, to reach a decent speed.

[–]EatGulp 0 points1 point ago

Is that a Winnie the pooh on his antenna?

[–]ch0colate_malk 0 points1 point ago

that car probably couldn't reach a decent speed anyway...

[–]dirice87 0 points1 point ago

What are you talking about! He's gotta be dealing downforce that could reach the ones, maybe even the twos of ounces

[–][deleted] ago

[–]dial_m_for_me 5 points6 points ago

I was joking about aerodynamic properties of monitor stand. Didn't try to hurt any celica owners.

Looks like a Mitsubishi Eclipse spoiler

2ga spoiler.

I give them points for trying. I deduct those same points for failing.

Is that some kind of clothing stand on top of the car?

[–]dolowizard[S] 16 points17 points ago

Someone probably told him "In order to be a true racer, you need a roll cage"

So he went out to buy a cage, and slapped it onto the top of his car, just for the hell of it.

Note: I have no idea what I'm talking about.

Join the club. This is the post of confused car people.

[–]themarknessmonster 2 points3 points ago

Why the hell would anyone do that to a Celica?

[–]username911 1 point2 points ago

vtec just kicked in y0

[–]nissansupragtr 1 point2 points ago

Correct me if I'm wrong, but a spoiler is supposed to allow air to push down the rear end at high speed for more grip in a Rear-Wheel-Drive Car. Totally useless on a Front-Wheel-Drive car. Not only that, he's probably made the car slower as well by ruining the aerodynamics. Also it looks horrendous.

[–]butt_soup_barnes 7 points8 points ago

That monitor stand costs more than the car.

To be honest, I just laughed at "Speed Racer 1000". I just imagine a tiny intense old man saying it...and maybe driving it.

[–]toadwarrior 0 points1 point ago

It just works.

[–]DishwasherTwig -1 points0 points ago

For a makeshift spoiler, that doesn't look half bad.

But that says nothing for actual effect it gives, which is 0, perhaps even a negative.

[–]jbd1986 1 point2 points ago

Gotta wonder why he raised the spoiler with the Mac stand instead of just bolting it onto the trunk by itself... oh wait... that would imply logic. Clearly no logic was applied..

I actually can't decide which way would be more ghetto...

[–]socalnonsage 1 point2 points ago

You see the weirdest shit in Santa Ana.... (5/55 interchange)...

[–]funkymatt 0 points1 point ago

That same area also has also hosted the LOLOIL tesla sighting, some cat that someone rescued. I know there's more, but just weird that all these things happen there.

[–]coughcough1980 1 point2 points ago

How did you get that pic so clear? That Celica has to be going over 140 mph.

[–]jerim79 0 points1 point ago

I consider myself a logical person. What is the thought process of someone who would do this? I understand the reason for spoilers in racing, but that car doesn't look like a race car to me. So this person thinks they need a spoiler for some reason. Instead of getting a real spoiler they just craft one from spare parts. For what purpose? It isn't a race car and that certainly doesn't look cool. Is the driver trying to make a statement about our ridiculous society that requires every car to have a race car feature?

[–]VeteranKamikaze -1 points0 points ago

The owner of this car is an idiot, no question there. What I do wonder is the type of idiot they are. Are they the type that thinks this looks great aesthetically, and that other motorists say "Wow that piece of shit Celica must be pretty damned quick, look at that spoiler!" or does he realize that it looks moronic and genuinely thinks it will somehow improve performance?

[–]Catch22af -1 points0 points ago

I wanna say a Mexican is driving this car.

[–]nickmac29 0 points1 point ago

That is one sweet cage he has going on there.

I love the spoiler J-Roc makes for Julian in Trailer Park Boys. Two hockey sticks and a piece of OSB board spray painted black.

Guys, you do know that the spoiler does add a 600 HP boost, right?

[–]mooreclayton 0 points1 point ago

Classy as fuck!

[–]Basbhat 0 points1 point ago

well it is a celica so its arguably an improvement

[–]cgowsell 0 points1 point ago

its a Toyota Celica spoiler :-)

[–]dlama -2 points-1 points ago

Even if the car could go fast enough for the spoiler to work the car is front wheel drive

[–]95Econobox 14 points15 points ago

which has nothing to do with anything?

Most FWD racecars that compete in NHRA or SCCA usually have spoilers. Everything in the BTC and DTM have them.

[–]Retanaru 6 points7 points ago

90% chance they are reading that as Four Wheel Drive.

[–]95Econobox 0 points1 point ago

LuLz.

you're probably right which makes it way more funny. there are so many "racecar builders" and "engineers" on reddit that try to refute very simple entry level concepts about cars or going fast its not even funny.

[–]SgtFrick 0 points1 point ago

FWD in the NHRA, thats crazy.

Its pretty insane to watch.

[–]Distantly_Fellated 2 points3 points ago

The spoiler is a joke and people think it's funny, therefore it worked.

[–]Emery96 0 points1 point ago

It wont help to improve traction on the drive wheels, but it will still add traction to the rear wheels, thus allowing higher handling speeds before the back end kicks out. Of course this car does not have to worry about it, though.

Whenever I see people driving and taking pictures, I always get infront of them, and wait for the camera to come up. As soon as it does, I SLAM on my brakes. They usually ram right into me. Then when the cop comes I say "The driver was taking a picture. Totally saw it" The cop looks at me and NEVER asks "Why did you suddenly stop?" They always just walk over to the other car and say "Your at fault" hahahahahahahahahahahaha

You know, I've always firmly believed that there's a reason why they call a spoiler what it is.

It spoils cars' looks. -_- Spoilers are ugly, and no one will ever be able to convince me otherwise. And those gigantic oversized douchenozzle spoilers are worse than ugly; they're slap yo' granny in the face fugly.

Not all spoilers are necessarily ugly. Calm your tits, this is just the common ricer.
