bumper diffusers
 

I've been reading up on diffusers, I think they would be really great for those high speed autobahn racinng, plus some 1/4 mile races. I've been looking around but all I see is negative results, and plus I don't know if cutting holes in my bumper is a good idea, I don't really like the ones that goes under the car, the ones that comes on ferraris and such cars they look too ricey.

whats ya'll opinions, and facts?

Im a rice give me the wings

Re: bumper diffusers
 

get creative w/ some sheet metal. pan the bottom of the car in the rear, it doesnt have to be perfectly flat as long as keeps your bumper from being a parachute

Re: bumper diffusers
 

Until you're stuck running 9.01 and looking to dip into the 8's, don't worry about it.

Re: bumper diffusers
 

the man speaks the truth

Re: bumper diffusers
 

my bumper being a parachute helps me in braking :1

Re: bumper diffusers
 

I would rather do that than cut up the bumper. But looking at this realisticly you really don't need to worry about it.

Re: bumper diffusers
 

yup.

honda actually makes an OEM part like this for the EG's, you just gotta look around for it closely :P

Re: bumper diffusers
 

but don't it takes all thats possible to make it a little faster? even if its not that fast a few 10ths is improvement correct?
I am strongly thinking of it, but just can't make up my mind if I should.

Re: bumper diffusers
 

Get creative with the sheet metal...

only thing I could think of.

Re: bumper diffusers
 

I think thats really ugly. I was reading up on the diffusers on h-t and they are all crazy over the ugly under car design, but they looked more ricey than the holes, I don't think they work better than the holes. I am gonna give the holes a try, if I dont like it well swith bumper.

Re: bumper diffusers
 

Just do it Mista Bone style, and ---- yo back bumper cover, just remove it.

Re: bumper diffusers
 

the car is also daily driven, remember I live in Germany and I take the autobahn everywhere I go, and I just can't drive slow, and the car also have to be street legal to drag on the strip also. whatever I do also have to look good to me. with all my options, they are keep it stock, get the ugly vane things under the trunk, or get the holes and cover them and put painted mesh behind them. I know it will help out great, cause I do feel drag on the car sometimes.
as you all know ghetto is not in my book whatever I do have to look good to me, I think the holes look ok. carbon or stainless? I choose carbon. I am placing my order.

Re: bumper diffusers
 

I hate them, also the rice boys like it with there 3 foot wings. When I go drag racing there all tell me I need them to go fast ::), I guss fast to them is the 18 that they ran hard y0.

but he has a defined reason for doing what he did....i thought that was an ausome build as well. watched it from day 1. wish i had the time/money/equipment to do something like that.

Re: bumper diffusers
 

Bone style FTW

Re: bumper diffusers
 

You on the wrong website then.

Re: bumper diffusers
 

I've never seen a half green half CF turbo Honduh that wasn't ghetto.

Re: bumper diffusers
 

you just need a flat peice of metal , you dont need the vanes on there. the vanes are for when you have a completet flate bottom car and the air needs to be directed properly for when you are trying to make more downforce w/out creating drag.

Re: bumper diffusers
 

thats just your opinion though. I think its very hot personally, and everyone around me think so also. but thats besides the point. I want something thats functional, and still fits my taste if you understand me, instead of adding weight why not save weight by drilling holes. as I say if I dont like it a new bumber is a junk yard away. plus it will sae more money than buying sheet aluminum here. they bith serve the same purpose, but one look more decent.

Re: bumper diffusers
 

I gotta be honest. If it wasnt for the Hood pins ruining the hood or the headlights...it would look alright.

I'd hit it. .....if i were drunk

Re: bumper diffusers
 

The bumper diffusers are going to make that car look like ass. Not good ass, hairy sweaty man ass. The hood pins could go also. Other than that it doesn't look bad.

Re: bumper diffusers
 

No, it's the truth. Everything bling-tasticed out on a car invariably means it's cobbled together underhood and doesn't run right.

With how long and how strong your car has run I know that's not the case with it, but it was too annoying to type the long version on my phone.

Re: bumper diffusers
 

the hood pins was a must for me grant it I could have chosen a different color but I had these already, I my stock hood flew open at 80mph and smash my winsheild roof and hood, it was a very expensive fix. so now with a lighter hood I was not gonna chance it. the headlights look a lot better than stock, and also work a lot better than stock. the trunk I like a lot. the diffuser I am not sure how it will look, I will find out soon, but either way I love the way my car looks right now.

Re: bumper diffusers
 

my inspiration

Re: bumper diffusers
 

:l

just do what Racintweek said. flat piece of metal underneath the car ftw

Re: bumper diffusers
 

I would go to the junk yard and buy a spare bumper to try it on before you go hacking up a good one.

Re: bumper diffusers
 

I already thought about, but too many negatives, I am not good at fabbing stuff like that, 2 sheet metal or diamond sheet are expensive, I dont want to add any weight, I kinda like the look of the holes on that prelude, the piece that I would need to seal the trunk off would cost 3 times the price of the hole cover, I already ordered the carbon fiber cover, after reading all the options and opinions I went with holes option.

Re: bumper diffusers
 

Well they just screw on so you could try it on the junkyard one and if you didn't like it so be it. If you did just unscrew it and put it on the good bumper.

Re: bumper diffusers
 

From the site you listed above: "HONDA-TECH SPECIAL PRICE $115.00 SHIPPED"

WTF? A tiny piece of carbon fiber with holes in it is worth $115? I'm in the wrong business.

Re: bumper diffusers
 

the only thing about that is the color difference of the junkyard bumper, I have a spare but its black. I have it incase a few year later I dont like it or plan to sell the car I can install the new bumper. from all the pics I've seen of them they look ok, so I think I will like it on my car. I will put painted mesh behind the holes to blend ib with the carbon.

Re: bumper diffusers
 

They look like ass no matter what you do to them.

Re: bumper diffusers
 

you could have got a full sheet of a/c type sheet metal(its not a skid plate, it doesn need to be thick) , a pair of tin snips, mounting hardware, and some paint for less than the $115 for the scrap peice of CF w/ holes cut in it. and it would look a whole lot better(hell you prob wouldnt even be able to see it)

theres another one, look at page 9, thats where the rear is

Re: bumper diffusers
 

your a fucktard


looks great rudebwoy

Re: bumper diffusers
 

That's more along the lines of what I was thinking of doing with my car, but do it both front and rear.

Re: bumper diffusers
 

some people honestly don't like certain things like carbon fiber,diffusers etc. and you know who they are.
but majority of the people who bash and talk ---- nonsense, are just trying to fit in, band waggon type deals. with me its honesty I care less if someone like it or not, as long as I like it. I ask opinions to support my decisions but not to make my decisions if you know what I mean. these threads usually reminds me of the honda-tech rota threads, they only hate them because majority of the members don't like them, and they are not mad tyte jdm. if you get my drift. its not about what the crowd is doing its about a person like. just my rant. (I may a ricer but everything on my car is somewhat justifed, and I don't regret any of it, except the fact that it took me so long to do it.)

Re: bumper diffusers
 

if he'd done the rear correctly, he could have created some high speed downforce by creating low pressure zones behind each rear wheel......

Del Sol I'm helping finish will be set up to run ECTA in 2009. Tranny is already built, should be good for 165-170 mph on SOHC power. Aerodynamics will be critical at those speeds, esp. with the shorter Sol wheelbase.
