Gauging Interest Rear Diffuser
Alright so i was not impressed by the 2 options out there for rear diffusers for our cars. So i decided to make one. Keep in mind i have a little knowledge with an architectual scale and some artistic talent, thats it. I originally planned to make this out of abs plastic however that turned into just my template as i wanted something more sturdy and will stand up to the exhaust temps as well. I have yet to make one out of aluminum however im talking with a few local iron/steel/aluminum fab shops about getting one made as i have a scaled down drawing of this one. Any criticism is welcome. Thanks

Looks pretty awesome bro! Good work! Def fits the "Because Racecar" meme! ;)

I like it, you should also make a panel that can attach to the front and reduce drag between the rear axles and the bumper/ diffuser.
|
I think it would be cool if the diffuser followed the contours of the bottom of the bumper a little more instead of just a slightly curved "underline". It looks really good though.
|
Um... yes please.
|
You sure that's not actually scooping up air? It doesn't seem to be in the area that actually needs the flat panels.
Otherwise, it looks good. A friend and I were thinking about making some for our cars. (He drives an E36.) I originally thought of using ABS. I'm curious to know if it would hold up. |
Im interested, there r too many sharp angles, if u can smooth them out?
|
It needs to extend farther underneath the car. Also, I think the angles are too sharp. I personally like the understated look of the Borla diffuser, but it only works with their exhaust. Now for a track car, I can see the merits of something a little more aggressive like the Driveway Labs diffuser, but for a street car, there has to be some kind of happy medium.

Good luck on this. I'm planning on a few more variants of mine. I'm curious to see how you handle a few things on it.
Let me know if you need any help. |
