 Related links: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=48283 http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showt...01#post1249401 So, as most of you know I have been building and tweaking my rear diffuser model for a few months now. Some experiments with success, others with failure. I love our automotive community and would rather help foster growth and success from within, instead of looking to outside sources for work, technology and effort. So, I contacted @plucas from Hancha Group, who is not only a part of our community but also an owner and enthusiast of our platform. Hancha builds a couple parts for us and are working on more. They are in the same boat as me, they love what they do and are working to get better. Anyhow, the moment many people have been waiting for. Hancha uses a 3D model that they are continuing to build more and more detail into. It isn't complete. This data is not 100% fact, it is meant as a function to show where and how my diffuser functions in an environmental simulation. It provide graphical representation which I can back with real world accounts that reinforce the data. Would I love to be able to get into a wind tunnel? Yes. Would I love to run the model in UNC's engineering computers? Yes. Can I afford any of that shit? No. So if any millionaires have complaints about the testing data, feel free to paypal me some cash, because the government doesn't even want to pay me my check right now. Without further ado.

Any chance you're working on one that doesn't extend rear past the stock bumper? I want something more subtle.
I *could* just carefully trim one, but I imagine it wouldn't end up symmetrical enough.

 Just wondering, how hard would it be to paint this piece as a DIY kind of thing? Could I get away with just plasti-dipping it a colour other than black? |

It's sitting in a ups facility about 45 min away. And I'm sure it'll take all day before ups gets it to the sort facility by me. Sigh. 1 more day!
