ReplicaR Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 (edited) I'm not so sure that diffuser is very functional. If you look at most of the race cars, diffuser is usually the last thing you would see on the car from the back, most of the time extending past the rear bumper. The reason for that is that it has to direct all the air from under the car, so that it does not go anywhere else other than outside through the back. This creates faster moving air under it, and generates downforce. The problem I see with your setup is that you do not expose the diffuser enough. Now, lets say you keep the blades, but create a fiberglass sheet that covers seals the entire underside of the rear. I'm talking about starting in front of the fuel tank, and up into fender wells, and taking it back and connecting to the rear of the bumper. Make sure that the entire area is sealed in. Then I would get rid of this part of the bumper all together, just to allow the air to escape. I think that just getting rid of that alone will actually make the diffuser work much better. You have ground effects, which make covering the fuel tank with flat sheet a LOT easier.EDIT: Just for reference, here is DBR9 Edited September 11, 2012 by ReplicaR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iRoush Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 If you look at how the diffuser mounts on the underside you'll see that it directs The air from under the tank to the outside of the rear bumper. the winglets are even with the end of the rear bumper allowing it to get out of the back at a high velocity. Is it the optimal design? probably not, but it definitely makes a difference that can be felt, the car squats a lot more at high speed than before.

ReplicaR Posted September 11, 2012 Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I'd still think about cutting that rear piece out though. It's not in the way like it is on my car or on the 03-04 Cobras where it curls under the car towards the front, but it's still blocking the air.

iRoush Posted September 11, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 11, 2012 I'd do it if the car wasnt street driven or didn't have nice paint, that'd be something for a pure racecar which this is not, at least as of yet haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tilt wheel down and rotate bottom while pulling the bottom. @ jermySent by smoke signalsMore or less this. 4 Screws, place pick in the 5th hole on the underside of the column. and turn the key to run and pull the ignition switch assembly out. should make it easier to pop off the column covers.

Brian Posted February 6, 2013 Report Share Posted February 6, 2013 I love your car. Have you thought about a Steeda Race Wing? Would look SEXY on your car!!

There's a new edge GT that rolls around here (that I want to take pictures of) that has the wing and look sick.Don't need it, that's why I put the Rear Diffuser on. Keeping it all original Roush body parts. The amount of downforce that the rear diffuser supplies by creating a suction is phenomenal at high speed.Did you post a picture of the steering wheel because I don't see anything but I want to!last post of 2012 sir Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
