Still no WRC (overhanging) spoiler for WRX?
Anyone know of a true WRC-style rear spoiler (the overhanging, box-shaped one) that is available or in development? Closest thing so far is the Prodrive style wing on the STi, but ti differs from the WRC piece.

nope there isnt

Check [url]www.subaru-giken.com[/url] and see if that's closer than the Prodrive.
| Shik | 12-23-2001 04:38 PM |
No, it's not :( Even Launsport(WRC replica specialists) doesn't offer one yet.
This truely amazes me that a replica of that spoiler has not been made yet. I just don't know why. It only looks a million times better on the new age WRX then the 22B type spoilers. Just my opinion but the 22B spoilers look so out of place on the new WRX it aint funny.
FWIW, Paul at Primitive mentioned he would have loved to do a replica of the WRC spoiler, but had trouble getting his hands on an original I believe. Wonder what Prodrive charges for one(assuming they would sell one to you)?
Oh well, maybe some day :(

all i know is that the wing scooby sport offers is by far the best looking wing i've ever seen for our car... check it out
| Shik | 12-26-2001 10:03 AM |
Thanks Subaruracerx! Hopefully Vivid can find the source and get them.
By far the best looking spoiler out there( IMHO ;) )

Are you saying that _isn't_ a 22B style wing half mounted and half hanging? I dunno, they all look the same to me :p
| vividracing | 12-26-2001 05:47 PM |
Actually it is a styro foam cut out that is painted with crayons.:o

wait....you think _that_ ^ one doesnt look out of place???
It looks like a duct-taped on racerboy wing that wasnt even made for the car!
(IMO of course)

tell the WRC team that and see what they say
that is most likely the only wing for that car that really works correctly.
they didn't put it there so spectators say wow what a cool looking wing..they put it there because it works and works well as you can see from results
racers don't try to make the car look good the want it to go good.
that's what i'm talking about

I agree, the SWRT wing is meant to perform, and I am sure that it does, and they dont care (much) how the car looks.
for the extreme levels of competition and driving skill of WRC, that tiny bit of extra downforce may help, but even for the most skilled driving i-clubbers, putting the wing 4" back will make absolutely no difference. Even having a wing at all will not help most people. A wing is 95% cosmetic.
my comment was just that I dont think the SWRT wing fits the wrx any better than the 22b wings.

I'm sure the WRC wing provides good downforce, but it obviously isn't the only wing that provides downforce. Have you seen the Cusco or Jun wings, for example? Tell me those don't provide downforce! My favorite is still the STI carbon fiber piece. The one that was on the black scooby of the week wrx forever and a day.
| Goombah | 12-27-2001 10:03 PM |
I agree with most of the guys in that a wing doesn't do much for most of us. Having been a WRC fan though, if and when I get a WRX sedan, it would most surely have the real WRC type wing, for the simple reason that the current WRC Impreza uses it and , probably because of that, I like that one alot better then the others I've seen on the new age WRXs. Hell, I'd even get the hood, again, not because it does much of anything(espesially if you don't have a FMIC) but because it looks cool as hell simply because the most popular bad ass Impreza in the world uses it ;)
Whether or not to use it simply depends on if you like the looks or not. Some do, some don't. I just hope to hell that it's available if and when I get a WRX!!!

We have availability now! Email to secure yours. We a minimum of 10 orders. The wings will come from the UK and be priced in the $700 range shipped.

Hi everyone, i have one of these spoilers but mine is a real one sourced from the rally team. It is full carbon fibre and was quite expensive £1200 considering its secondhand :D

Awesome pics!!
WOW,
thanks for the pics Scott! This is what I'm looking for, did you notice any effects due to more downforce? front wheel feeling "loose" at all at high speed? I noticed you had a front lip, that must help! I'm just worrying about downforce imbalance between front and rear...
Dan, ETA on that wing replica??
Thanks,

lol Avi :lol: you still going on:)
mturmel
i can't say that i've noticed any on-road difference with the spoiler on but there must be more downforce just by the size and angle of it
It feels quite stable at 130mph :D though

Dan, my friend Adam will be giving you a call concerning the spoiler in the next day or two, hopefully they are obtainable soon.
BTW Scott, awesome car. If it had the roof scoop, lowered a bit, and some big STi mud flaps on it, I think I would have fainted ;) Almost perfect!

Not sure if anyone was following the Scoobynet thread the picture of the dark blue car was from, but it looks like that also was a true WRC spoiler from Prodrive like Scott's, and according to Prodrive, they will not be for general sale(cost about $2000 anyhow).
Oh well, the search continues :(
