All that alloy stuff underneath is not going to make any difference that you will notice imo, therefore not worth the effort

If your trying to be Adrian Newy, give Red Bull Racing a ring instead of bolting coke cans on the unside of your 25 year old production car

In my opinion your very wrong, Renault claim the tiny diffusers they put on clios work, so how can that not, I do also think his diffuser is to much of an angle but that just means its not optimised it doesn't mean it won't work. Dar also reported good results from his simple diffuser and that is just a diffuser.

tbh, it can't not help, surely its pretty obvious that being flat underneath has got to be better

Yes but Edd knows all didn't you know?

Doesn't matter what it is, it's drag from wind and such that cause probs, slow flow or stopping it.

I was gonna say look at the new line of eco Volovs. They have totally flat plastic floors as it reduced wind drag meaning smoother flow meaning better mpg...

Sorry, fort id got it right :d

Yeah Lee's done well to get the mid section entirely covered in such a simple piece. I had problems with the exhaust touching when I had a go, so have put that part on hold. What I might do is just cover the gap over the exhaust tunnel when I look at it again, to keep the weight down and as the rest of the floor is fairly flat.

I've added a splitter on the front recently and can feel the difference straight away at speed, so adding a flat front underside would be bliss.

TJ AND Edd, if you're only going to post drivvel and bait other members, including the staff, in the wip threads, then bugger off and play in muppet!


Back to the discussion of the diffusers, if you think they're pointless then go have a word with Lee and Dar as Dar's is similar to the one Benn posted up and he can only say positive things about it, said its done wonders for the cars handling and road holding :d
