WRC Replica Spoiler Group Buy
 
I am running a group buy for the replica of the WRC spoiler for newage impreza.... time for an early christmas pressie to yourselves :thumb:

I am dealing directly with the importer of these parts so the price is simply amazing.... £400 delivered !!

This is for WRC veined spoiler in fibre glass (un-primed) straight from the factory and is delivered to your address in the UK. These are very rare although some are now selling in the UK most of them retail at £750 + upwards

They will fit any newage WRX or STI although WRX will require extra holes drilled or use an STI boot lid.

This addition to Subaru's updated aerodynamics package first appearing at the 2003 Rally Monte Carlo. The new rear wing has four vertical slats that improve high-speed stability by maintaining downforce when driving sideways. The WRC rear wing uses the wind to help push the tail back behind the nose of the car.

As the wing pushes through the air, the air following the top surface of the wing gets flung upward. The force of air being redirected up off the wing pushes back down on the wing. On the bottom surface, the opposite happens; with the wing surface suddenly pulling up, air is sucked up to take its place, and when that happens, the air pulls back down on the wing. This generates a significant amount of downforce on the vehicle.

Slide into a corner at a 30-degree angle two things happen. First, the wing is effectively narrower to the air approaching it. Second, the cross section of the wing, carefully designed in the wind tunnel for optimal downforce, gets elongated, taking some of the violence out of the air's journey upward.

Violence is everything when you're dealing with air, so the no-longer optimal cross section of the wing means less downforce.

The slats force the air to straighten out and go across the wing as the team aerodynamicist intended. All the air slamming into the side of those four slats, plus the two end plates, also work to straighten the car out, much like the vertical stabilizer on an airplane.
We need to get to 15 confirmed orders to get this price.

Delivery takes 8 weeks as they are coming by sea. Payment will be 50% in advance and the remainder when they arrive at the docks in the UK. So will be here in time for Christmas :D

Runs until 9th October - all deposit payments will need to be paid by then.

if anyone is interested I will be getting the wide arch kits and front air splitters in later in the year too - will run a separate group buy for these

Well done bud, but its not for me.

Kudos for you for putting in the effort for everyone.

S!

k_duraman 25 September 2006 01:35 PM

you must be the group buy guru of scoobynet. i keep seeing your name under every third gb, or so.
i was also in the swrt merchendise gb you did recently.
anyway, this spoiler is not my cup of tea but i'll be interested in the wide arch bits (only for the rear tho, if possible.)
and then you will have to arrange a wheel spacer gb for us.:norty: :)

dynamix 25 September 2006 01:49 PM

indeed - wheel spacers are essential with that kit :D

I have seen this type of spoiler in the flesh and they certainly look the business on the car.

"MADDOG" 25 September 2006 02:23 PM

very interested :norty:

Regards "MADDOG" :D

dynamix 25 September 2006 02:28 PM

you want your name on the list Maddog?

just think of the extra downforce round miss hit miss ;)

that's what mine will be put on for :D

"MADDOG" 25 September 2006 02:37 PM

dynamix, if they are as good as you say they are...... then please put me down for one :thumb: as I need all the downforce I can get just to keep me on the track :D

regards "MADDOG"

dynamix 25 September 2006 02:46 PM

most of the stuff that I have bought is beneath the surface doing the job of stopping better and providing better safety so far :)

I will get some up to date pics today maybe if it stays dry enough to give it a splash of water :D

Do you have any pics of these, or can you point me to a link?

dynamix 27 September 2006 01:24 PM

looking at these at the moment plus carbon versions too which are exceedingly lush :D

as soon as i have details... will put them up

dynamix 27 September 2006 04:10 PM

Carbon version available at £980 delivered too :D

weemac2000 28 September 2006 08:57 PM

[/QUOTE]Carbon version available at £980 delivered too :D[/QUOTE]

You swine , Dyna, I've just spent 2 days convincing myself i can justify £400, and now you out that up!...I'm in turmoil again.........

alex_00s 29 September 2006 08:27 AM

WOW... :eek: That looks incredible in Carbon!!! :notworthy :notworthy :notworthy

You evil evil man... such temptation... oh my gosh I want that wing more than Christmas itself! :luvlove:

A grand tho... ouch!!! Its so unfair that carbon costs are going up due to those bloody air busses! :razz:

Will probably settle for the fibre glass version... I know someone who bought one of these in fibre glass and it wasnt the best quality and needed alot of attention making it look up to par b4 spraying.

Do you know if the quality is that good that all it needs is a spray or will it need a bit of work to make it look like its rivals (£750+)??




ps: seen this type of wing on one site and it was £1500!!!!! :eek2:

dynamix 29 September 2006 08:36 AM

from what i have heard the glass fibre ones are prone to stress marks if fitted incorrectly. obviously the carbon doesnt suffer from this.

build quality wise, they are exactly the same as other glass fibre wrc replica spoilers

alex_00s 29 September 2006 08:54 AM

Put me down for a definate maybe! :thumb:

"MADDOG" 29 September 2006 10:47 AM

With the carbon WRC wing, you would also need the WRC wing mirrors :norty:

Sorry MADDOG copied the list from too far up! :brickwall

dynamix 02 October 2006 08:47 AM

bttt - any more takers?

"MADDOG" 02 October 2006 09:34 AM

I myself also really like the carbon fibre one, but paying nearly a grand for something you cannot see in the flesh is a bit worrying. I would just faint if it turned up with a scratch or slight defect, then I would have to send it back and hope that they sent a perfect one out again.

regards "MADDOG" :thumb:

alex_00s 04 October 2006 07:22 PM

We're a bit far off the 15 mark to secure the order... and its getting close to the 9th... :confused:

This is just mak daddy.. if i was to build a wrc rep, this would be the only way to go :D

"MADDOG" 04 October 2006 08:30 PM

I am leaning towards getting a the carbon myself :norty: , but it does not look if we are going to enough people interested in this group buy thou :cry:

regards "MADDOG" :D

PS hows the flocking going Frayz ?
