Why do you want a rear diffuser?

We are in the process of manufacturing one as we type.

The diffuser can, when made properly give as much downforce as a rear wing.

The idea of the diffuser is to slow the airflow down that comes from under the car, so that it reduces turbulence as the air that is flowing under the car joins the mainstream air coming over the top of the car.  However you first need to speed the air up with the aid of a front splitter.  You then need to make sure the air remains free flowing so you need to flat bottom the floor, and finally fit side skirts that protrude significantly around the side to minimise spillage.  To slow the air down the channel needs to substantially increase in volume from start to finish.

If the idea of the diffuser is for looks then go with the one that floats your boat.  If however you are looking to improve aerodynamics.....you need to look at a lot of points prior to passing on cash.

Our unit is almost done.  Unfortunately, and I\'m kind of doing myself out of business with this item, we made a call of ditching the rear tank and going for an in-car fuel system, this allows for more height so that you can get a better factor of increase of volume.  You would need to buy our front splitter, flat floor kit, and at a minimum rear section for the exhaust.

I will be putting some pictures up shortly....be about a month though.

Pm me with the prices your thinking about AtomicRex :-)
 
I have emailed Ken at shineAutoProjects just to see what he says.
I had a look at the Diffuser ($450) and They have a rear tail light cover ($250) which is a beauty and the Sanai side skirts ($230)which are like yours on your Orange motor.
 
They also so a front undercover for $150 which is a bargain.
 
But I do know that I\'ll be paying shipping and maybe Duty on these :-(

AtomicRex

We wont be able to compete with those prices.  The items we are selling are extremely hard wearing! But come at a slight premium.

The list prices for
The front splitter is £870
The flat floor is £495
The rear diffuser is £535

But it will work!

Best thing to do is wait until you see the pictures.....you will be amazed by it!  Everyone has been impressed by the mould so far!!!

Paul1982

Well you are racing these monsters so now doubt they will work mate - plus i\'m sure they\'ll look great to.
 
But I have a Road car and dont plan on tracking it as knowing me i\'d fookin crash out as i\'m a all or nothing person on a track lol
 
But i am looking forward to seeing your final product in action!!

I have had a fair bit from shine in the past including the carbon fiber diffuser and all the parts are great, very well made and good price.
 
I think the prices on rotaryart seem fair, saves the hassle of you importing it yourself:)

if you want it you can have it, my engine seals went by the way so  mate of mine has rebuilt the engine and and done some machining work on it, then i brought everything to go single turbo including turbo kit, bigger injectors,fuel rail ,motec, 6 paddle cluch, lightened the flywheel,uprated ignition system, fuel pump, but now i cant keep the car so no point building it up, iv sold the motec but everything else is up for sale including the rolling shell with gearbox and rx8 wheels, all the engine mods and turbo kit where brought from rx7.com in the u.s.and have never been fitted
