Rear Defuser

[STAGE1]

HI

I was bored last weekend so i thought i'd make one

One sheet of alluminum 8x4 (2400x1200x1.2mm) at ($70.00) 4x1(100x25mm) alluminum angle i had lying around.

Three days later i had this.

I had thought of doing this after putting the body kit on and seeing how much lower it hung down.

Before after

Your views ?

Looks kind of weird with a towbar on.....

I'd say leave it off unless you were going to have the towbarr off the car the majority of the time. This is purely from an aesthetic point of view.

If it makes a significant difference to the stability of the car, at speeds you would keep your licence at, then I would say function before form.

My 2 cents...

ummm .undecided. got me thinking though what about an ally drop tank seeing as the fuel consumption is up poo creek. i know the stag doesent need more weight but for those long trips with limited fuel stops it would be good. i also think they look good

I red once that there is as much air goes under the car as goes over it. By puting a defuser on i might stop the air being caught up in the rear bar So i thought it might give me a fuel saving over a period of time rather than aney high speed gain. Aney on the limet testing i do is done at QR raceway.

Undecided about the aesthetics of it but I personally think it's more things to worry about in regards to speed humps and tail-to-curb parking.

At the end of the day it's your car though.
