The ft86speedfactory guys might be at 86fest so I'd expect delays in communication.

@DaiTT500, this is most likely the case for the delay. They are indeed at 86fest.

Sorry I know this is off topic question but if u can verify for me Thx.
Does an aftermarket oil cap do the same thing as an aftermarket radiator cap?(to increase the boiling point? )

This thread is about functional aero parts. Please move your oil cap questions elsewhere.

FT86 SpeedFactory Splitter Race Upgrade and Driveway Labs Type 1 diffuser track review:
@enivid and @Fett4Real gave me a hand installing the splitter and diffuser on Friday in preparation for our track weekend at Miller Motorsports Park. The included installation instructions are great so I won't elaborate on that other than make sure you have a good drill and carbide or cobalt bits to go through the crash support when you install the race upgrade.

Prior to the splitter and diffuser install, the car used to understeer at the track. Brake too late into a corner and I was scrubbing and not turning. When I needed to tighten up the corner, the car would not rotate in.

With the splitter and diffuser, the car is perfectly balanced. I was extremely impressed with how the parts made just the right corrections to the car's balance. The front end was more planted and responsive and the rear felt glued to the road. When at the limit, the car felt like it would rotate around the center and was extremely predictable. Between the aero upgrades and the RC-1s, I had complete confidence in the car and its reactions to input.

I combined the aero upgrades with some Maxxis RC-1s and the increased grip and improved aero balance allowed me to turn some impressive lap times.

The race splitter and diffuser are a perfect setup for an NA car. After riding with @enivid, I'm sure his SC car could benefit as well, although his car felt great as it is. I don't believe that a wing would be needed with this setup unless the car was much higher hp.

If you want to check out some pictures, please check out my Instagram.
