I'm excited to announce that thejdm is now updated to the latest phpbb 3.2 software. You may notice the site is now mobile friendly but with the upgrade comes some hiccups. theGarage, theGallery, theArcade are no longer supported. In due time the developers should be working to release the modifications to work on the new software. #LetsMakeForumsGreatAgain

That's crazy, I knew that was Nadine from DP's car! I even went to the DP site to try and see if she had trashed up her car like that. Crazy.

There's a few companies that make them for the RS13, mostly universal units that are simply applied to to our cars. Do a bit of research and make sure you understand the basics of the diffuser so you don't overlook some common errors and make simple mistakes.

I'm skeptical that the undercar aerodynamics will be helped all that much.

My idea with the c-west front was to help decrease lift. At high speeds(85+), having a front bumper with a lengthened nose/lower to the ground, should decrease drag and lift, and promote downforce.

Wth some kind of side skirts to keep air from coming from the side of the car and flowing strsight back, a diffuser(only if set up properly) SHOULD pull air from the underbody of the car and promote downforce. I want my car to feel very stable at high speeds. I doubt the kouki wing does anything for downforce, but its an attractive piece and would flow well with the idea that I have.

Thanks for the site TOBY, i read it. However SCC did a very good article on Aerodynamics that I have read a couple times already. Function is important, moreso than style to me. However, I am trying to accomplish both while standing out from every DRFT body kit out there.
