Are you going to run a diffuser with the RB one as well? Or will you leave a big hole at the back?

Haha dually 86.
@AznKirby I'm waiting on a DWlabs Type 3 to come out. Their previous diffusers also work with the RB faux Diffuser

Nice. That's what I'm planning to do as well. I've been scared of tracking my car ever since I put the Rocket Bunny rear bumper valance on. That shit flaps in the wind like crazy

A 50' long roll will be enough. Should have enough spare for the over pipe also.
Wait till you see whats coming next for the car though!!

Very odd that you only had -1.2 after the coilover install. If you flip the top hats 90 degrees and add OEM crash bolts you should get -2. That's what I got. I'm not sure how much camber you need though....

Just a lil sumfin-sumfin I been doing the past 4 weeks..

For my fellow RB Diffuser brothers.. /insert Xzibit meme..
All 2mm thick Aluminium
Sorry, I don't have CFD analysis...


Continues from the JDM underbody panels.. and then envelopes the whole LCA, Exhaust bend and diff. Sectional cutout for the diff when using a jackstand to lower/raise the car. There is a cover for it but I was rushed, and didn't bother securing it. In front of the diff will be a vent to direct air for cooling the diff.

Looks good, I assume that you're going to powder coat in black to reduce the chance of getting defected? You just need the Griffon-style driveshaft cover to make a matching set.

Interested to know how it goes with clearance etc. Keep up the commentary.

Not powder coating this one, just a prototype to see final fitment. Maybe the next one. Do you have a pic of this driveshaft cover??
I'll be doing a complete underbody panel set for mine at any rate, have the DXF for it already done up, just needs to be fabbed.
