The wing was $400 and at that price I couldn't pass it up. It might be slightly less then optimal, but the $1200 saved oher the singular setup will go nicely to some 15x10 6uls.
In the context of this thread, toss it and get a GT-1000. Outside of that context, yah, it's a functional wing. Just keep it at least 6" below the roof. Ideal placement is height off deck equal to chord of foil for a 3D. That's lows. |

As Emilio said, it's not the wing for taking on the world. But, it will make good downforce. Moreso if it is actually a 300 rather than 200. |
I had a GTC300 back in 2007 or 2008 and it had the multi-hole adjustment brackets. I've never seen a 300 with turnbuckles.

That wing served the PO well, but he's moving up to a 2D wing on his E36M3 ;). I think this a step in the right direction for Lars' car. He got this thing for really cheap too.
|
Yeha, for $400 I would have pulled the trigger too. He can easily resell for same $ or profit at a later time as long as it stays in good condition.

Before
Attachment 229646 After Attachment 229647 The wing is a GTC-200. Install went nice and easily. 15x10's and Xida Race are next on the to buy list. |
Is the plan to mount it higher, or is that the finished product?

Nice! I have an APR GT-250 on the way. It's S2000 spec though so we'll see where things line up and if I can make it work. I'm looking to max the ruleset so a 2d element at the roofline made sense.
Do you think some vortex generators at the rear of the roof would keep the airflow better attached to the rear of the hardtop? Might be good for a wing mounted that low. I'm sure someone with more aero experience will chime in. |

I'm sure someone with more aero experience will chime in. I have zero idea on how aero works. I do know how to reasonably copy winners though. So everything I do will be looking at Bullet and ThePass's car and copying it the best I can. Also I am going to start reading the Aero thread one of these days.

Well first step is to take those swift springs and throw them in the nearest dumpster, then get some appropriate Eibach's or HyperCo's.

The answer is yes on the vortex generators.

Ill hopefully be seeing you there at gridlife in 2018. I have been attending their events for a few years. recently picked up a turbo miata that is very well prepped and will be competing in the street mod class as well. My previous miata had a splitter made out of birch wood that met the width regulations. It may be heavier but it was my first attempt on aero. This is the other miata I used to run there. (warm up lap on a very slick morning at gingerman)
https://cimg6.ibsrv.net/gimg/www.mia...58cbbc5db2.jpg The new miata I plan on using the singular motorsports wing (apr 250) but i have not been able to see if it meets the street mod class restrictions along with an air dam and splitter. Would anyone be able to help out and check the height? I know the width is fine. Sorry dont mean to highjack a thread. Just interested to see what others will be doing in this time attack class |

I don't know if it satisfies the "no further than 5" out from body profile as viewed from above criteria. I know my setup doesn't.

Our GT250 kit sits juuuust shy of 5" behind the rearmost point of the rear bumper when viewed from above (we left 0.1" or so to be on the safe side), because it was designed with these TA classes in mind that limit the extension to 5" from the bodywork.
This is what i get for not reading rules when i build haha. |
