Future APR aluminum wing

[Rakuny]

I meant too, as with the coilovers.

I'll be curious to see if you can feel a difference and how you plan on mounting it. If Pete's right, hatch mounting could be a no-no.

Yah, we'll see how the mounting goes.. I have a couple ideas but don't want to say too much until I try to implement them. I'm gonna make a rear diffuser and a splitter to go with the wing. As we've discussed before we can switch cars sometime, you can decide for yourself then

[B-Man]

I won't have a before feeling of your car, and now so much is going to be different, I won't know what's making a difference.

[Rakuny]

I guess I didn't think about that.. when we originally discussed it I hadn't fully decided on all that I was going to do so I didn't disclose any extra information other than the coilovers.

[B-Man]

If you manage to have all that stuff together this summer, you'll definitely have a better performing car than mine.

What are you doing about power? Just keeping it stock still?

EDIT: actually don't answer that here, I don't want to knock this thread that far off track.

To get this thread back on track a little bit..
I got an e-mail back from Rick

"Hi Mark,

Got your payment. Wing system is being fabricated. The endplates may not ship for a week or so, since they will be included in a larger order to be made. My guess is the wing elements could arrive in about a week.

Thanks,

Rick"

Sounds like they always ship the wing elements separate of everything else. Michael did you receive your other stuff yet?
Anyone willing to post more details about the latch mechanism strengthening?

[MR2]

nothing on mine...it's likely to be a 6 month affair..

presently looking at buying a spare rear hatch so I can cut it up to fit some pitch controlling actuators.

[Rakuny]

6 months?!

Why so long?

[MR2]

Car is starting to feel slow....so I'm going full steam ahead on the 4L motor install (bitchin)

Also, please post what CFD data they have (or anything really, I got nothing with mine)

[Rakuny]

I will post up whatever I get.. I don't think that it will come with CFD data. When I was looking at their website I believe this wing to be a variant of the "A" package. The "F" package specifically says CFD data available (base price starts out at $400 more) whereas the "A" package just says "set-up recommendations and Gurney flap info."
