Hello MT.net,

I'm pleased to join you all as a new Miata Turbo Vendor! Just a quick introduction on myself and R Theory Motorsports. I come from a Mechanical Engineering & CNC Machining background, and circuit racing has always been something I wanted to do since I was a little kid. Fast forward to after college and few years of tracking my GTI daily driver, I picked up my first very rusty red NA6 Miata. There were plenty of problems with it and I fixed a lot of things on the car which forced me to learn a lot about the Miata chassis in a short amount of time. A few months later I bought a rust free chassis that was already turbocharged and built well, but not built to my liking. (Now going onto my 3rd, and hopefully last turbo set up.) Instead of spending time fixing the car like my last Miata, time was spent making it a more capable track toy. I then fell into a rabbit hole of making whatever I could design and manufacture for my own project, which evolved into making some of the same parts but in production volumes for other Miata enthusiasts. Majority of the things I try to focus on involve suspension and aero, but I will take on any task that will help forge a more capable track toy. I do take on custom projects for customers from time to time, so if there is something you need designed and/or produced feel free to send me a message!

Cheers,

Cool stuff, not many people making diffusers. Do they just mount to the bumper though? seems flimsy?

r_theory

Good question, nope not mounted to the plastic bumper. All the aero I make is chassis mounted to pre-existing bolt holes from the factory. So no drilling or cutting is required. I personally wouldn't want plastic bumper mounted aero on a street car, let alone a car that see's track time!

Cool, looks good.

Any shots of the clearance between exhaust and diffuser on the NB chassis?

Any photos of diffusers installed with exhaust tips poking from bumper? Unless they are just so well hidden?

r_theory

Are you two referring to the V1 or V2 diffuser? I'll dig up some pics and post them up.

iDizzle

I'm interested in the v1 version pictures. But at this point I have already put in my order, so your reply is too late.

i sure hope it fits with my jets kobe exhaust on my nb2

Just wanted to throw in my

I've dealt with R Theory / Rajan a few times, awesome products and great customer service. Great to see you supporting mt.net

Thanks for your order! Yours likely was shipped out at the beginning of the week.

Judging from pictures on the internet of the same exhaust system you have, you should be able to use the diffuser without any issues.

Usually when someone runs into clearance issues it is because their aftermarket muffler hangs too low or the muffler is positioned too far back. Sometimes far enough that only half of the muffler is under the OEM heat shield. As long as the muffler is in a location close to stock and the tip is in a location close to stock, fitment shouldn't be an issue. In case anyone is wondering, it does fit between most aftermarket Miata specific dual exhaust systems.

r_theory

Thanks for your kind words! Glad to support MT.net!

iDizzle

The diffuser is so nice, I'm willing to have a custom exhaust built to fit the diffuser if necessary. Thanks for the bolt on product.

You should design bolt on side mounts that fit an elise seat to sit it basically on the floor. No one makes one right now for any price and it could bolt right on to your base bracket. I've seen people make a slot where the side bracket bolts to the base bracket to allow for some small adjustment to get closer or farther from the wheel. I need a set of these lol.
