dustinsonger Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 Honestly you would be surprised how much dynamic vertical force the wagon applies to the rear springs. Once I get the rear sway and end links and stuff I'm going to start tuning the preload and stuff to find a better setup for rotating the car. The rear diffuser honestly is going to built by knowledge Haha. By testing I mean finding a cheap but durable material to make it out of. I have been messing with carbon fibre Lately so I might be making something and laying up carbon over the contact points. Really though right now I just need to figure out which design in my head works in the real world before I worry about final product construction.

Really though right now I just need to figure out which design in my head works in the real world before I worry about final product construction. Tracer-x and the team pony express team did a diffuser with 2 layers of fiberglass with a single layer of carbon fiber wrapped around the outbound side. It was quite stiff and very light. When I modeled this with design software, the optimal layout would have required cutting into the spare tire area. As I've never used the spare tire, this would not have been a loss. You'll also need to change the exhaust into a single pipe instead of two. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsonger Posted October 9, 2013 Author Share Posted October 9, 2013 The exhaust I built is already a single but in thinking about building a new one and doing a blown diffuser Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustinsonger Posted November 6, 2013 Author Share Posted November 6, 2013 Its not even that low. The splitter mounts I welded to the frame are just low. As it should be. But thats mostly just picture low. I don't daily it at that height. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nightmaresmk Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 That's good So how did the 275s fit? I'm running 255s. Just build it right don't buy crap the first time because u will just end up replacing it. I want a splitter setup and a rear diffuser setup for my Outback. These cars get floaty at the track. I just dont want to have it look as aggressive (Catfish LOl). I like sleeper subtle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxkita Posted November 6, 2013 Share Posted November 6, 2013 drop a pm to msprank. He built a custom removable bumper based on a customer design. It would let you have full aero on the track and stealth on the street Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
