Quote from: Initial-D;530339Ohh that sounds pretty low indeed od404! No air suspension cheating here though please (for those that can), it has to be the height you drive the car around at!!

Nope no such trickery on my car! Just RS*R springs on unknown Japanese shocks.

I wouldn\'t have said it was, the bumper is fine, just the skirts that are giving me grief and only on the narrow bumps. I will get a pic though just for you

Quote from: Initial-D;529034I\'ll go out and measure mine tomorrow, its pretty low and doesn\'t rub on the back, only the front bumper on occasion and midpipe lol! Although it will depend on your damping suspension wise, mine is pretty hard as its setup for track usage so there is only a 1" compression with my spring rates.

Sorry to jump in on this post, is that your car? same one thats in the middle section of Banzai this month??

Just wondering what bonnet vent youv got? Iv got a similar Amemiya wide kit on. ah and where you get that red rear toe eye!! looks class!!!

p.s. i found RE Amemiya copy diffusers on ebay for Â£150:

Personally cant decide whether to keep the standad bumper on the rear and get one of those diffusers and these spats:

... or get a different rear bumper altogether??? This is what it looks like at the minute:

RE-A diffuser all the way, got any more pics mate?

Jit · September 04, 2008, 01:21:16 PM

chopper2k22 from here has got one of them diffusers FS atm....

jonny116 · September 04, 2008, 01:37:56 PM

Why diffusers though, do yous not think they look a bit stuck on!?? Would a new rear bumper not be better. iv not seen one up close in profile with he bumper, photos are always taken far away on them.

Im 50/50 on either to be honest!

Yep got a couple more photos:

mattfduk · September 04, 2008, 01:41:38 PM

love the bomex and RE-AD GT very cool, would look great with the RZ recaro\'s in there mate *wink wink*

FEED Addict · September 04, 2008, 01:45:01 PM

looks very good matey!
got to go the rear diffuser route, like bolt ons as i have c/f front canards, c/f side steps and feel a c/f reamemiya diffuser with bowtech generators would complement the look and complete the flow of c/f along the bottom of the car!

jonny116 · September 04, 2008, 01:58:14 PM

Yeah i think the bomex goes well with the amemiya sides, not seen another one like it really, apart from Initial D\'s, which i wudent mind seein another photo of that rear diffuser.

haha yeah cheers matt for the mail on the Recaro\'s just picked it up in work, not sure what im doing yet coz mine still on ebay!!

i will take some pics of mine with diffuser and skirts not quite like yours but still wide and low!

i could just do with some more track focused seats mate thats the only reason for a swap not in a hurry, you coming trax on sunday?

To add a second Hijack, I was following someone on the London tunnel run, who appeared to have a diffuser (think was a RE-A one, but not sure), and a set of rear skirts fitted. The skirts *just* tucked inside the outer lip of the diffuser - looked really nice. Was just wondering which skirts / diffuser it was (got rear skirts blended in on mine, makes picking a diffuser tricky)

cheers

jonny116 · September 04, 2008, 02:11:42 PM

ahh have you got rear spats on with the diffuser too? (if thats what you mean by skirts) need some photos up here like!!

Seems to be much love for the diffuser over a full on rear bumper!!

yeah send some photos of them seats over, are they recliners or buckets, i couldent really tell? n whats trax on sunday, where at?!!

logicalChimp · September 04, 2008, 02:19:13 PM

Yup - was a white car, I think...

I\'ve no diffuser at the moment (if that was aimed at me) - need to fix important things like suspension first
