HELLO from SWANSEA

[Jordan_rxate]

Hello Everyone!

I joined this weekend gone after a warm welcome onto stand at the very last moment - JDM COMBE 2024!

I've posted a photo of my Aurora Blue R3 (64k miles)

I'm new to forums and especially posting, slowly working my way through the site and having a good browse..!!

Looking forward to meeting you all on my travels and at the next event I'm available.

Info/Mods/Updates:
Advan Racing GT Beyond 18" x 8.5" Wheels
Braided brake lines (Blue of course, haha)
Japspeed Sports Cat (Going back to OEM shortly)
Full RGB underglow
Touchscreen head unit

Planned Mods/Upgrades (In order)
R Magic or APR Wing (Can't decide between)
Catback system (once OEM midpipe reinstalled)
2012 Spirit R tail lights (leds are on their way out!)

Again thank you for the warm welcome at JDM Combe, see you all soon!

Great to see you on the stand and now a member. Apologies I may not have got to you to say welcome. It was a busy weekend and many people over the 3 events in 2 days.

Glad everyone else was able to persuade you into the perks of membership, saves me my usual sales pitch. Check out the discount link at the top banner. If you haven't been told already, Krown rustproofing is a massive discount that more than covers your first 2 years membership and is an important service to have done on your car if you haven't already.

Look forward to seeing you at more events, socials and gatherings as we see out the show season and start the social season in winter.

+1 for an APR GTC 200 wing on a blue R3. If you're going for it, make sure you get the rx-8 specific fitment mounts, as they should bolt straight up to your original R3 wing holes.

An old car of mine had one of them bad boys

Harry I think you've sold it for me. I had no idea how it would look other than messing about on Gran Turismo 7 with the customisation hahaha!

APR it is. I'll make sure to get the correct mounts too.

Thank you for the warm welcome!

It's really expensive at over a grand - but well worth it if that's the way you wanna go as they're a really sturdy and strong wing. Having the mounts out wide on the original holes too means it doesn't flex at all on the bootlid like some of the more centrally mounted ones do - and I can say from experience I could slam the boot as hard as physically possible and it wouldn't bounce, wobble or anything. Honestly? Best big wing I've seen or experienced on an 8 imo.

APR GTC-200 Adjustable Rear Wing on blue R3

Having shared a message with Harry on this I too am now sold, also now finding this thread and also been wisely advised on where NOT to buy it from where should I go, any suggestions?

Might be worth a message to Bofi Racing
They’ve been good for me in the past when I needed some RX8 parts

[Fab66]

Thanks will try them, also found Tarmac Sportz sell this too

Mainly MX5 parts as far as I can ascertain, definitely do not sell the APR GTC-200 rear wing
