Whose Indy....What Cycle Wings??

There's a pic in my archive of a lovely Yellow & Black MK Indy belonging to someone on here but I can't remember whose it is.
Can someone either tell me whose car it is and / or what cycle wings they are as I love the close profile of them?
Thanks,
Matt
PS - at the same time can you tell me how I post a pic in a thread - ta!!

Where did you get those wings from?

I love the aeroscreen too, where did that come from?

Cheers :-)

and tractor nosecones spoil MNRs, davey

thanks though to the OP. they are dax cycle wings

the wheels go with the cycle wings. i wanted the cycle wings over anything else and i built the car when i was 17 before i really understood unsprung weight. having said that, wheel and tyre is only 16.8kg so not far off an average 15" wheel. if anyone wants to donate some 13" cxrs with 888s on, i'll happily swap them.

the aeroscreen's from ebay about 3 years or so ago. not sure they're still selling them. nice bit of kit though

roll cage was custom commissioned from Martin Keenan, the rear hoop and stays are welded, but with a bolt on front half

cheers
tom

Cheers Tom,
Wicked looking car. I have the same Martin Keenan full cage and colour scheme. Thankfully there are differences in our builds but I do like the profile of your front wings.

At least they dont spoil the Handling, or Performace ( the things that matter on this style of car) like 17" wheels do

if i changed the wheels though, what cycle wings would i run?

CSRs are kind of the equivalent of a laguna splitter. everything else is flat and ugly.

if i could get the dax style wings for 13" wheels, i probably would. i've got way too many hobbies to waste my money on more wheels and tyres though when the ones on it do the job just fine. grip certainly isn't a problem and chasing unsprung weight with sierra uprights seems a little futile. i've got an mx5 for trackdays, which is far more practical

it makes me perfectly happy as it is, but thanks for your concern

After reading this thread and seeing Indykids Aeroscreen which I think looks great I did a quick search online to see if I could find the supplier

This is what I found:

http://www.aerodynamix.co.uk/

Their Aeroscreen looks exactly like Indykids

I contacted them using the email address provided on the price list page which is julianeisel@aol.com

He called me back later on and took my order so If anyone else is interested give him a shout, hes a very pleasant fella to talk to

Hope that helps

cheers

i'm almost certain that's the same seller. the product range looks the same and istr that decal (though thankfully mine didn't come with one - i had worried it might be in the gel)

did you go for the JPE style one with the cutout in the middle or the straight one?

Hi indykid

Im not sure what you mean by JPE style? but I went for one with the cutout in the middle,

They're very reasonable in price especially compared to the kind of money westfield and caterham want for their aeroscreens.

I really like the low profile look of it and since ive driven the car for 3 years with no screen at all just a helmet I think it should make a big difference.

the JPE was a caterham special edition, the jonathan palmer evolution, hence JPE.

the aeroscreen with the gap for the mirror in the middle was fitted to those models
