The panel gap around the trunk lid looks pretty good, actually. It's adjusted impressively well. Better than either of my cars.

The distance sticking out thing may just be context. Example pics were on an NA with a bumper, i have an NB and i'm unsure how much bumper cover i'll be able to run on this car, for other reasons shown in the pictures. Like i said, i'm not mad i paid for it, and the shipping wasn't a big deal. I was able to straighten it out.
For future shipping feedback: The box needs to be packed much more densely. My box contained the diffuser with a single layer of the small bubble wrap around it, and 2 pieces of brown paper loosely wadded up. There were no provisions to keep the diffuser from moving around within the box, and by volume, i'd say less than 20% of the box was actually occupied. Interested to see what revisions you come up with! :) (Can we make this bigger? Like... a good foot bigger? ) Also, any progress on the panel you were working on to go in front of this? Overall footprint of the next revision will likely be similar to the current unit, I still want it to be somewhat street friendly. Mostly i'll be revising the construction method and optimizing the curve and angle while i'm in there. Another thing is that I want to mount the diffuser differently at the rear subframe so that it sees cleaner airflow. And yes there has been progress on the rear subframe panel. I just ordered a small batch of billet parts that will accompany the rear subframe panel. Also i'm in the process of making a new panel that will likely be the final revision. I'll post up when that's mounted. Winter is coming and all the track toys have been put away for the year. But luckily I picked up a beater NB so the test fitting and real world testing can happen in the off season! California guys be like what off season? :giggle: |

It's been a few months, can any owners report in on any track benefits and lap times?

Any track time comparisons or anecdotes? |
If it's like the warhorse as far as rigidity I think they won't do to much. My warhose was far too flexy in the strakes and just the over all unit as the gauge is to thin and nothing but flat panels, not stout enough imo. I'd rather have a simple flat panel with two outside strakes like the Tesla and made thicker so it is rigid if not a thicker or formed frp unit. Aren't these too steep? I recall 7-11* being the correct rise/angle. This looks like much more than that. Most diffusers are really really flat and long. With exceptions to some really huge deep straked diffusers.

In any event, I was under the impression that R Theory was either going to be stopping production of things or outsourcing their designs to other folks. |
