Thanks man, I'm pretty excited with how it turned out. We'll see how well it performs on the track this weekend.

only thing I don't like about the Lotus diffusers is their outer channels are pretty much worthless due to tire squirt contaminating the airflow.

it is the turbulent air that is a result of the rotating tire moving through it. There is a way to fix it though, and that would be to add a fence to the outside edge of the channels that extends forward.

A fence? What do you mean? Sorry for my lack of knowledge, I'm basically clueless when it comes to aero. I'm assuming I just make some sort of an extension on the outter sides to kind of block out the turbulence?
|
correct, extend the outside fin further downward and forward.
|
Right on, I'm assuming just riveting a sheet of aluminum should work fine?
|
yup

Wow that looks great, if only I had enough power to fully utilize all that down force.

Going to suck when you bend that up going 4 off.

Almost finished my aero setup for this year! Should try it tomorrow to see if I need a center brace for the spoiler.

Took me a second to realize the garage door hinges weren't part of the spoiler, LOL.

Allstar 24" sheet plastic, which is wide enough for a Miata air dam. Comes in a roll. .070 is not quite stiff enough for air dams, use the .100. Google search, it's everywhere.
