Ok, so I've been selling the parts from APE for the past year or so.
I've sold about 7 RD Traction Bars, about the same in GK Traction Bars, and maybe 30-40 bags of bushings.
At this point, Tom has made his money back on the parts he created, and I sold. The progress in APE Motors has been with their 10 sec Drag Tiburon, not in performance products.
This is what I need of you guys. I have 3 GK traction Bars in stock, 0 RD Traction Bars in stock, and 0 RD Bushings in stock. I have a couple sets of GK Bushings in stock, and if I take the set apart, I can use the small bushings from two GK kits to make one RD kit. After what I just mentioned, there are NO MORE APE MOTORS PARTS! Period. I went ahead and purchased everything left Tom had in stock. I've done all the marketing for his company, and he's focused on building cars, and making one fast Tiburon.
BUT, despite the fact I've held down the business side of things, this could be it for APE and any performance parts for Hyundais. I'm asking for help from all of you guys, to keep APE Motors a company that manufactures parts for the Tiburons and other Hyundais. I'm also setting up some wholesale accounts to help keep orders strong enough for Tom to want to continue making more parts. But I cant do this alone.
I'll be frank about this. I still have 2 Traction bars for the RD that have yet to be built because of the low demand. I either owe refunds on these, or Tom will build a new run of 5-10 units. Same thing goes for the GK traction bars. Same with bushings and other engine fittings that he made and never sold many of. If I dont get him 20-30 orders right away, chances are we'll loose him as a manufacturer. If that is ok with you guys, by all means, dont worry about helping here. But if you've ever wanted to get some of his parts, and you were holding off for whatever reason, now would be a good time to show support. I garuntee if we dont do this, APE Motors will be a service business only, and nobody with a Hyundai will be able to afford to get custom work besides a tiny little fraction of a % of us. I'll continue to use Tom for my race cars, but I'm an idiot and I love to put 1000's into Hyundais for some reason? But that's just me. If YOU GUYS want APE Motors to stay a brand name known for superior parts that NOBODY ELSE will ever make, then I need your support. I want to fill up half the production run with orders.
I want to tell Tom to make 10 RD Traction Bars, 10 GK Traction Bars, 20 RD bushings, and 20 GK bushings.
So I'm looking for 5 buyers for GK Bars, and 10 buyers for bushings, 3 buyers on the RD Bars, and 10 of you for the RD Bushings. The bushings are cheap, and EVERYONE who has bought a set has been thrilled, and raved about the great performance they got out of them. I was sitting in traffic today, and a car died in the fast lane 20 cars ahead. We were all stopped. In a flash, I did a full on burnout and launch from the fastlane when the second lane was flying past, and I saw a breif window, revved up above 3500, dumped the clutch and layed down a serious launch with no skipping, torque steer jitter BS. Just a nice clean launch in the spur of the moment. I couldn't have done that without Tom's amazing parts, and I dont intend to let APE Motors slip away without putting up a fight. SO HELP GUYS!
RD Bars are 239
RD Bushings are 49
GK Bushings are 49
GK Bars are 159
Please spread the word, and I'll keep updating these threads on all the forums out there. This 1-5 list should show any progress made. If we cant fill up a least this list, we might be saying goodbye to APE Motors parts. Thanks everyone!
