There are a few threads about APR, of which Manly started originally at:
http://www.lotustalk.com/forums/f92/new-wing-option-come-soon-apr-61257/
With the evidence by Manly that the APR aero clearly improved the dynamics of the car, a lot of us in the LCS have picked up their parts - Tim T., Tim H., Roy, myself, etc...
KC and his group really know what they are doing. He explained the process of dry CF carbon vs. wet laid to me, and he showed me different graphs of aero wind testing.
I originally had the Gut spoiler/Gut wing...I kept the Gut spoiler and attached the APR splitter on to this. I have the honeycomb CF splitter which is super light compared to the fiberglass CF splitter.
I'll be testing this setup at the Buttonwillow LCS, and KC has recommended the canards to offset the understeer...I'll prob. pick those up, along with the side skirts which he used my car to mold the future Elise CF side skirts.
I'm also attaching a diagram he sent me regarding the advantage of a Gurney flap on the rear wing at high angles of attack.
