Vortex Generator for 2008+ Lancers?
 

:confused:

does anyone know if ‘someone’ is making a vortex generator for the 2008 lancers?
i had one of my 06…i just really like the look…

cheers

prolly not... dont u have to go mach one for the vortex generator to actually be functional? :lol:

there’s no such thing as a functional vortex generator on a 152hp tank. :lol:

i just really like the look that’s all… :(

no, it is always functional, but you probably won't notice any positive effects unless you have a wing and RWD.

i doubt any company is making on right now, as they don't do a whole lot for slow FWD cars. you could maybe get some company who makes carbon fiber to make one for you, though, custom.

the evo x might have one for it, i'd wait for it to be released.

i guess waiting for the evox might be the best idea…
i was thinking about having this guy i know fabricate one for me…but it would probably look bad. lol

btw…WW 08 DE FTW :lol:

theres an 08 blue lancer i think that has a VG. search in the lancer show and shine section

heres the dude with the VG

check last vid..

thanks for taking the time to look for it.
is it just me…or do those look individually stuck on?

Yes they are, see here

My hand started reaching for the Credit Card.

I seriously might buy those. You can't beat $20! {thumbup}

Thanks for the link Silens!

And yea, I must agree…$20 is well worth it…
at that price I might as well order two sets incase I lose some on the hwy! lol

I think I’m going to order these…

But before I do…opinions please:

I have a White DE…so it has a lot of black accents (front grilles, door handles, trunk keyhole, and I have dark tinted windows all around…

So here’s my question…
Order the black ones for contrast (and they will also match the black roof antenna)
Or order the ones that can be painted and go body colour…

I’m leaning towards black…especially because it makes it easier for me. lol

black. for sure. i might buy them as well, but i won't if all you guys do loool. that blue lancer in the cardomain page linked is awesome though, with that splitter and the wheels. the taillights and spoiler aren't for me, but it looks awesome aside from that.

Ibet it works if you drive it off a cliff

no better than it would if you drove a tricycle off a cliff.

why don't you two test it out :lol:




at your own discretion

hahaha

anyways…i decided i’m going to get them (in black)
if you want, you can wait for me to post pictures…but that won’t be until April (gonna wait for winter to pass)

Wow... and to think, so many people made fun of me when I put some on my car 7 months ago.

They look pretty good if you take the time to space them evenly and figure out a set angle for all of them.

Got mine for $7.95 when they first got put on the market. Mine are not quite as tall as those are.

*Edit - Just noticed they come with fairly detailed instructions with recommended angles. I think mine are angled about the same as they say to.

those stick on ones are hideous. imho

Has anyone here attached them yet ??? I heard they look like sh!t up close even if they are properly mounted and spaced ...

if everyone was serious about aerodynamics then they would do something about the rather large bubble air trap where the stock muffler use to be (for those who upgraded their exhausts) There is a rather large aerodynamic drag caused by the removal of the stock muffler.

I working on a under car air damn for a friend here, I will post details when I get my hands on the finished product.

Wow...that never even occurred to me. Some kind of air dam/diffuser would be great. Although, making it "universal" fit might be a little tough, as there are a lot of different exhaust sizes/configurations.

Mitsubishi hasn't released anything as of yet, but aftermarket may first. I bet they will though. Keep an eye out.

I am working with a sponsor to develop a three piece kit for the underside that will work around most if not all exhausts currently out there. remember you just need air guides / flaps in the right place to properly divert the air. if done properly, downforce will be greated at high speeds. The effect is profound in the race world. Our cars are hardly race cars, but turning drag into proper air flow and downforce is a positive thing.

Pulling some favors but trying to utilize a campus airtunnel for the trial and error parts.

Its fun, but the project isnt moving as fast as I would like it too.

target is to have a working final project part done by Feb or March, I have run out project cars so it will involve me using the EVOSOUL 3 Car, but if enough money comes in, I might be buying a semi wreaked car from an auction.

I think most people will still be making fun of you even though two more people purchased them.

Awesome. Definitely keep us posted {thumbup}

i have Vgs on my Prius

the real ones are 39" from trim to trim long. Our roof from trim to trim is 40.25"long i am sure if we order the regular ones for evo 9 and stick it on with some good double sided tape it will look awesome too. Now the problem with this is that our antenna is further up on the roof than the evos, or older lancers. I have done a photoshop of how this might look like.

Before photoshop (notice antenna being further up)

After photoshop

now basically, to those lancer owners that cars didnt come with sirius sat radio. You can take the original antenna off and install the vortex generator as pictured in the photoshop ( do at ur own risk ) but there will be a 2-3" gap between the rear window and the actual vortex generator....Ebay has really cheap ones, if you wanna test with this. Personally i would not buy the seperate stick on ones as the guy on cardomain did.

I can't remember but the VG's for the 08 have been brought up before. Someone on the forum knows a lot about the aerodynamics and found some stuff from :mitsu: about the airflow of the new 08. I looked like what the VG's accomplished on the 9 would kill the good airflow on the 08 with the factory design.
I maybe be wrong but I would do a forum search first instead of buying some crappy VGs and screwing up airflow that :mitsu: fixed for this model. Good luck!

Any updates or news on the VG's? I'm really hoping someone comes out with one for our Lancers.

Finally found a company that makes them specifically for the 08 Lancers. http://www.x-factordesign.com/bodykit
But its kinda pricey IMO. Maybe i'll wait til someone else makes them.

55 is pretty good

Shipping is around 60. If it was under 70 buks with shipping I'd get it.

Shipping is 60 bucks !??

Ya, I just got a quote from them through email. And it would be 107 shipped to Miami Florida... Thats a bit expensive..

So any updates on this thread?

getting these shipped to me today. will post pics once i install it.

u live in miami!
join my crew
soflancer.com
!!!!!
but i got quoted 97 bro for coral springs

Really? Where you guys meet? Maybe I'll pop by sometime. I'm usually really busy, first year of college ain't that fun lol.

Yea my quote to PA was about 98 with discount. They told me the measurment is "corner edge to the antena is 10.5cm". I don't think it will fit with my shark fin :(

I don't think it would look good with a shark fin anyways. But I don't know I guess I'll wait til another company makes it. Then I'll compare them.

**** if it was 55 total id get them in a heartbeat, ive talked to peoplt hat just get em off ebay for like 30 bucks that includes shipping.

WTF?! Where? Do they fit the 08 Lancers? I've been looking on ebay and haven't found anything.

Our Vortex Gen Will be Ready by Next Week

http://memimage.cardomain.com/member...jpg?410703-285

that one is nice but i would prefer it to have more spoke than just 3 on both sides..

that and those fins are too big. id stick with xfactordesign's.
im going to order theres soon

who makes this one? link?

The xfactordesigns are nice, but im not paying 50-60 bucks for shipping.

the company that produces them is located in Singapore
there is no actual link for it…all I know is that a member in my local club is working something out with them to have it shipped to Canada…

as for the x-factor ones, they are cool and all…i just think the gap in the middle looks weird, and the fins are a little to pointy for my liking…

Let me know if you find anything out.

Its pretty much looking like pay 40+ 60 for shipping or nothing at all. Boo. :(

I just ordered mine from x-factor design and I must say, their customer service is superb. Order from them if your not looking for carbon fiber ones. Mine should be arriving in a week, I'll post some pictures after. I paid about 100 buks shipped for mine.

if you think you will find it cheaper than about 100.00 shipped (and painted) then get it somewhere else. someone in the states may sell it for 85.00 + 15.00 shipping . when it comes down to it , it will cost atleast 25.00 to ship an irregular size item like a vortex generator within the states so unless someone decides to sell it for less than 75.00 (plus 25.00 shipping) your not gonna find it cheaper.

and their customer service is great. nice guys

again shipping high because they are in Singapore and when you think about it the box will be small but it will be OVERSIZE, international shipments of oversized or irregular sized items (even if they arent heavy) are quite pricey.


Also it comes painted to match factory, these guys make OEM quality products and have OEM paint colors.

will do :thumbup:

Bumpage.
{thumbup}

jsut to put out there...these VG will not work if u have the navigation system

Me and a representative from X-factor are workin on measurements as redoing the mold
