Got a diffuser today.

Did a test run but the sky opened, crawled thru Fuchröhre watching a GT3 use the Armco as support.

Yes.

Asked how Manthey balanced the full rear wing angle in their Hockemheim Ring RS. And it was the diffuser from the 911r (I think). I did not get the part number, but I expect the invoice in a few days if you want it.

Are they using some spacers to achieve this kind of wing angle?

Isn't there too much rear downforce (new wing angle and diffusor)

How they balanced the front? (I tried to read the Sportauto Manthey RS article BUT German language is difficult...)


If you will have later some pictures about installed diffuser please post it here as well and off course let us know "how it feels" then you driving. (and the part number, please)

^ Wondering the same thing. 2x downforce on rear and no more front is the opposite of that. Really curious to learn more. Keep in coming Kobalt (your GT3 / Armco comment gave me a good chuckle)

Bad picture, sorry:

According to Manthey adds downforce in front and in the rear above approx 130kmh. Have not had chance to really test it because of bad weather.

Other guy said that he noticed a total different water spray from his car after putting the diffuser on.

Another post about magic downforces from uneducated (in this particular matter) people.
Diffuser... sure.

and some basic explanation:

You need to have volume to make suction and that volume (diffuser) needs to be sealed and channeled to make it work. The whole car needs to be only cms above the ground to make it work, too.

But please stop those ridiculous statements about wings, diffusers, canards on street cars.

I'm not sure I've made any claims about magic downforce.

And unfortunately my magic lap will not be done until I'm back on NS again.

Keep us posted, Kobalt. Looking forward to your first-hand feedback on the diffuser.
