Maybe someone will design a rear diffuser that also functions as an extended oil cooler. Would solve a lot of problems.

Diffuser for track use is going to be semi consumable, like a splitter. You wouldn't want oil lines connected to it...

I had a giant diffuser on my Z that went from the rear suspension all the way back past the rear bumper, it was supposed to create low pressure right above the gap between the bumper and diffuser thus sucking the air out of the pumpkin area. I don’t really know… that’s what google translate said… the description was in Japanese. Some of these new diffusers are just amazing looking, here’s a photo of the one I had.

Dude… you’re car is mega. Not ashamed to admit I am jealous. There are a couple cars on here that to me, really epitomize the aesthetic pinnacle of this generation.

You, chunk and 85EC come to mind. My high class side lives vicariously through you dudes.

well much appreciated, I'm super jealous of your car and your current track skills my friend.

I can't wait to track it some.. It's been 10 years or so since I've been on track and I miss it dearly.. it used to be a almost every weekend back when i was running BMW's.. I'm also keeping the eye out for possible roller locally .. it helps that I'm in the Wholesale car business

you are probably right it might be easier to buy a coupe.. thanks for the kind words.. I got lucky finding a OEM aero decklid for a non gt3 already painted in my color..

Well i got all 3 CSF radiators, new water pump, low temp thermostat, some radiator hoses and new Coolant tank to all replace while being proactive instead of waiting for something to fail as they will eventually. All the items except the OEM radiators, and water pump are original ones on the car. The water pump was replaced 10k miles ago but time wise it was replaced in 2015.
