Defuser Situation

[highflyer]

go or NO go ? just got to playing around with some carbon and fiberglass, and came up with this, don't think it does a lot, but I like it.

Another shot

[highflyer]

And yet another, just wondering what the die hard Ultima guys think ?

[Chewy]

That looks good to me - nice piece of work and I think it finishes the back of the car off as that was always dead space. Don't know how effective it will be as I assume the engine bay of your car isn't panelled on the bottom but if you were doing it as a kit I'd buy it.

Interesting, I was wondering if you could fit a diffuser under there, take it as its something you knocked up you think its probably going to be more cosmetic than actually having any aerodynamic benefit? If one could be developed that could actually work presumably one wouldn't need the GT wing?

[TuxMan]

yep looks good makes the back look a bit more aggresive,highflyer what rear wing have you got on the can-am looks good !!!

[highflyer]

Yo Erich, increases the rear end stability, increadibly, have noticed I can go around sharp corners much quicker than any Lotus and as for the straights

Nah, its just cosmetic

Tux, it's from a Noble

[CanAm Dave]

Hi Russ

Looks good, is it all your own work then? I'm impressed!

Is that the smallest Chevy bowtie badge on your rear grill or what!

Regards Dave

[Fran Hall]

Does that mean its cosmetic on the Noble too......

[TuxMan]

highflyer,did you use ultima mounts then a noble wing on them or are they noble too ? spliter looks good

[San Diego GTR]

It looks great, but reminds me of a buddy that broke his Ford GT's diffuser the first day he owned it by backing it out of the driveway. This one hangs pretty low too. Do you have any miles on the car with the diffuser on? Very nice CF work.

That wing looks great doesn't it.... the mounts are custom and I had 2 sets made the spare pair I still have in my garage.

I like the diffuser, compliments the rear quite well.

[highflyer]

Yes, all my own work, but I cheated, because I have a spare rear clip and moulded it from that, and to attach it to the car I used the same material that is used to secure the headlamp covers, so no holes had to be drilled, and when the rear clip opens, there is about 1/2 inch clearence (more luck than good judgement) Yo Dave, cracking Chevrolet bowtie badge, like hens teeth to find, I like it because it is subtle, and gives a hint of what's inside.

[highflyer]

All worked out properly with mathematical pyorythems, and a tape.

[Builder]

Sweet!

[LuckyP]

Looks like it was meant to be there! Nice.

Flat foor required to with though.

ETA- just read your post again. Just aesthetic? Awww. Looks the biz mind.
