    More development

    We have been working on improving our rear diffuser by making a second layer.

    I have two trainee UTS engineers here at the moment working on various projects including the rear diffuser. Part of their design work included running a wind tunnel simulation using a computational fluid dynamics program.

    While not exactly a real world scenario, the results showed a proof of concept with an increase in downforce from approximately 300N (30kg) to 400N (40kg) at 150km/h

    Rob this would be a very simple job for my metal fab guy hear in Sydney Ive designed my own rear diffuser that he will be making for me in may which looks as good as twins I think better and functions even better than the aluminum one you pictured im also getting him to make up side splitter and a front splitter under tray with a 10mm bull nose edge which will not look like your going to cut pedestrians down at the ankles. all this will be made out of thin sheet metal or aluminum then wrapped in real carbon fiber you could paint them black to save some money.
    it involves cutting up my Kaminari rear bar to suit the diffuser but cut lines will be covered by diffusers outer 5mm boxed in lip so no need to re-paint the rear bar.
    not sure he'll be down to do a group buy but im sure he would make 2 or 3 haven't got a price as yet but thats only half of what hes doing on my car this year let me know if ur interested we could meet up at his shop in Moorebank

    I am pretty sure rob has already bought the twinZ diffuser, however shoot me a PM once you get a price if you don't mind, I could be interested. Your car is a 2+0 correct?

    I'm actually going to mod the twinz to be functionable .

    these are good for people keeping the stock bar

    Well I think it gives the car a nice aggressive track look without having to paint a new bar. I looking at it as a cheaper and more unique option to the twinZ rear bar which I think everyone will have soon as its dead sexy haha.

    Looks like you cut off the bottom of stock bumper and attatch this to the bottom. It can be modified during production to your specs...

    Rear difuser isn't as straight forward tho... Decent price tho IMO...
