GI: APR Spoiler GTC-200 and GTC-300
 
There are currently 3 WTB threads open for people looking to buy the APR GTC-200 RX8 Specific Spoiler. I think if we pull our buying power we can get a great deal on the spoiler. I have already made contact with both APR and an APR distributor and both are willing to work with me (I have a california resale license) and I have gotten an initial quote from the distributor for 3 spoilers and the prices look good.

If you are series about wanting one of these spoilers please vote, if you are dreaming, please dont vote. I would expect to get 25-30% off MSRP with shipping included.

Here is some info on the APR GTC series spoilers: http://www.aprperformance.com/index....d=33&Itemid=44

There was a thread started a few months back and on that one someone talked about a gtc-300. So I figured it's was worth a shot.

TeamRX8 07-17-2010 11:45 AM

He ended up with a GTC-200

I want the optional gurney flap too

These are functional spoilers for a race track, not for driving around on the street. They offer a lot adjustability and will provide downforce at autoX speeds and up to high speed road courses 150MPH+.

I have the mazdaspeed spoiler right now and will keep it for the street but I am adding a track only splitter real soon and will need some additional rear end df to balance the car on 100+ MPH turns, well they were 100MPH turns. Maybe 110 when all is said and done.

c0ldf1ame 07-17-2010 02:12 PM

if you get a good price i may be interested, preferably a gtc 300 with the gurney flap, i may just save for a voltex wing tho, not too sure yet

So how are u gonna do it? Swap trunks every time u track or do city driving? Or will these bolt on through the holes u have for the Mspeed spoiler?

I am in the market for a second trunk (black, vr or CF) and I will swap them. I already swap tires and brakes. I will be adding a splitter that I will swap so the trunk is just another 5 minutes.

I could probably use the MS holes but the lip piece on the ms bumper uses 3m tape so once it comes off its done.

TeamRX8 07-17-2010 05:57 PM

The tape just seals the edges and minimizes rattling. Just swap it out foam rubber with only 1-side adhesive or you could also make a thin rubber pad cut to fit as well.

Not a bad idea and it would save me some money and time. Worth a try that's for sure.

Highway8 07-18-2010 09:35 AM

I should have said it before, but this is open to any apr product. More we buy the better pricing we get. So if you have an RX7 or a Miata a friend with an S2000, doesn't matter. We will bundle our buying power for a great deal.

TopGear8 07-18-2010 01:08 PM

If you have the 3 buyers, what would the final price be?

I'm not sure I am allowed to post that info until the group buy is official, but figure 30-35% off msrp or better.

TopGear8 07-18-2010 02:24 PM

If you can get the group buy for less than $650. Then I'm in. 100%

awwqpwwa 07-19-2010 01:26 AM

I'm in. Wondering if this would be cheaper than the 600 evasive price for the gt200?

Here is what I can tell you. Evasive is selling above jobber price, I plan to get these well below jobber price. If I can't beat their price I won't bother, but within a few hours and 3 emails I already got a quote that makes me very confident I can provide the rx8 community with the best price.

Gr8Bullet 07-19-2010 02:55 AM

It looks good but idk if I can drop that much on a wing. Lol if it were more like 400-450 that would be better.

I will get the best deal possible but if you are hoping for 400-$450 you will be disappointed and I should remove you from my count of possible buyers. But I can tell you I am aiming to be within 10-15% pre shipping cost from $450.

Remember these wings dont just look good, they are functional for racing, adjustable, strong and lightweight.

Gr8Bullet 07-19-2010 03:27 AM

lol yeah im very interested but i dont have the cash for this mod atm....

yeah my friend has one his yellow 8 and he says he loves it all around.

I dont expect to pull the trigger for atleast a few weeks and idealy we will make an inital purchase of approximately 5 and will be allowed to purchase more individualy for another few months. I should have more info tomorrow.

Gr8Bullet 07-19-2010 03:47 AM

ok yeah the more info the better lol

TopGear8 07-19-2010 01:11 PM

^It's not that much money...Lets try to speed this up, I'd like to pay within the next week.

TeamRX8 07-19-2010 01:43 PM

For what it is this is an excellent buy, the people competing need time to dial the overall setup in so the sooner the better

TopGear8 07-19-2010 02:58 PM

^Indeed.
