tblackj,

Very nice. The lip looks great!

The Werks One wing will go nicely with that diffuser. Are you getting the wing as well?

Are you planning on dropping the car a tad bit more?

Took me, and I am mechanically retarded, about 30 minutes to pull the old diffuser off and install the new one. Simple stupid, just like me. And it fit PERFECT the first time. No Dremel tools needed on this one.

I called and got the price... then decided to hold off again. Ouch. I'd rather get some new wheels.

Does the diffuser actually do anything or just look cool?

All parts developed by Werks One Composites are fully functional and wind tunnel tested. The 997 Turbo components offer the greatest results as a package, but each individual piece still offers great improvements by themselves.

As for the rear diffuser, it creates substantial downforce by generating a laminar flow in the near wake of the vehicle by increasing air velocity across the underbody.

3 questions

1)is that pic airbrushed? I see no fan and that is clearly not a wind tunnel testing facility
2)does the rear diffuser allow for engine cooling? I am very concerned about an engine fire
3)did Jesse get the GP7 graphite center caps done yet?

thnx

The fan is behind the black mesh... Thats pretty common in wind tunnels.

The shape of the lateral wall does not appear to be conducive to proper laminar flow at the periphery. The flooring surfaces are also not uniform. Are you sure that is a testing facility? Looks more like a very nice display platform


Well, searching yielded my answer:

GoFast,

Do you have any info on how much more downforce is created by the individual parts and how much with the front splitter, rear diffuser and rear wing together ?

Mike
