Alternate (tame) version should be completed this week potentially. I then need to open each box and check the quality before sending to FT-86 SpeedFactory. Bear with me, should be to them mid-late September . Pictures to come soon!!!

I also wanted to share some photos that have been shared on our facebook wall.


Jason Nguyen at Road America


On his way through Dallas he got rear ended. "A true test of strength. I'm very surprised how well my rear diffuser held up after being rear ended in Dallas, TX.
After the accident I continued my trip safely to Omaha, NE and even did a track day there with zero issues! Velox, I'll be in need of another one of these!"





"Perfect fit with Nur Spec Aero kit and Fujitsubo Authorize R Type S. Great product guys, very happy customer downunder." - GM Steely

I will continue to do my best to update with pictures that are sent our way. We greatly appreciate them!

Thanks,
Eric

@NotEric6 will the alternate version finally support Tomei Type-80 or the cannister still to big to fit with the diffuser?

The alternate version only changes the strake design. We are looking into doing a Tomei Type-80 specific diffuser but it is currently only in the "Hey, how can we do this?" phase. Will update accordingly.

I see. Let me know if you need any help in terms of dimensions for the Type-80.

I may, though FT-86 SpeedFactory is suppose to be sending me their used one for testing . That will ultimately be what gets it done I think.

Alright, everyone looking for the alternate design, I have an update for you. I went and got one from the shop late Friday so I could test fit it over the weekend and take some pictures. Below are the photos detailing the revisions from the previous production run so everyone is on the same page .

First, a small teaser picture of the new design.


Next, a small update to the hardware. I only heard one complaint about the nylon spacers being too weak; however, I took this for what it was and sourced some thicker units (new units on left, old units on right). Why nylon? They come in black already and they are extremely lightweight. Good luck squeezing these any!


Like previously stated, we added a full 1/4" of play to the front mounts. This should clear up anyone with OEM exhaust fitment issues I hope. New in foreground, old in background.


Finally, we reduced the front lip to make room for an even larger variety of exhausts. I noticed the need for this with the Greddy Evo IV install I did personally. This should help with a few exhausts. New on left, old on right.


Otherwise, the unit remains unchanged. The unit has the same AOA, same rear lip, same mounting points, etc. I will do my best to get some installed pictures up soon. The latest production run of aggressive units will have the same revisions as well. Most of them unnecessary but always striving to make a better product .

@NotEric6 When will this new one be released? With it being an alternate version, will it be just as effective as the first model?


Never mind, please ignore that ^

Stupid me read the past posts after posting this and answered both of these.

Looking forward to buying one soon!

Thanks for re-reading .

I will expand on that though as I meant to in my post yesterday. The 50+ units should be dropped off to me Monday (tomorrow). I will do my best to go through all the units, re-box, and then put them on a pallet by the end of the week. I'm hoping they will all be "on the shelf" sometime around the 24th of this month.

I still go through every unit to double check the manufacturer's work and make sure the quality is there .

Curious if anyone with a Tomei 60S has installed one of these? I know that it's been listed as having a confirmed fitment, but I want to know if any trimming was necessary, any rattling experienced, etc.
