Cyril,
I do have your straight pipe exhaust with me... (just so you know you can come race with us)
You need a front splitter and some stickers too!
Otherwise, just drive this thing!!!
How was it with Dave Karl behind you in his 993

The rear is not finished. My plan is to install a rear diffuser and remove the Turbo valence. So the exhaust is also in the equation. I need to build something like Duke or like this...
Any input on this is welcome!

I am working on it! :-)
Thank you so much gruhsy!
Sorry, no lap time as my Go Pro died during the first run! POS!
I am faster this year but as Charles mentioned, I am not pushing enough! ;-)
Ok, stickers are higher on my to do list now! ;-)
Good point for the mesh!
Thank you again guys!

Looks like a pretty good diffuser. I would guess not cheap either. Would you get them to make it or do it yourself?
For an off the shelf splitter I'd look at the one of Jim's sold through Good Aero.
Looks to be easy to get on and off. On the other hand it appears that you could get something made up by those 666 guys that might be even more effective. Aero is a black art and some minor changes can give decent rewards.

Can you show how the duz fasteners are fastend to the fiberglass parts? I have to install my Broadfoot kit. I know that if I rivet the fasteners to the fiberglass the rivets will prevent it from fitting flush on the sheetmetal.
I thought about riveting from the inside out, but then I would have a mess on the visbible side. Did you use something other than rivets?

good question!
I found 3 options.
The usual way is to use solid rivets but it is difficult to do it on the edge of a fiber glass part.
Another way is to grind the back part of the rivet flush to the fiber but it is a little tricky and fragile.
The most popular way is to simply drill a hole on the other part (spring side) to be able to receive the rivets.
I chose to do a compromise between the 2nd and the 3rd method. Instead of holes on the receptacle side, I just flared the other side. I actually modified a clamp and made my own flaring tool like this one...

I will try to find pics for you.
