I was wondering the same thing. I saw one guy a while ago with one but I dont know who or where to find it. Personally, i love the looks of them. I'm thinking about getting the rotary extreme one.

Here is a link to pics and some information on it. Also if you go to www.rotaryextreme.com , there is also a pic with a black FD with the rear diffusior as well.

my friend tony D has the old RE unit on his Red R2 with a black r1 rear wing. It sounds kind of strange, but it looks amazing. I'll try to dig up some pics.

kinda dark pix, but..
This is an authentic RE Amemiya "old style" diffuser on my otherwise mostly-kind-of-sort-of-almost stock looking Silver FD.
No problems scaping the ground at all even with a lowered PFS suspension. It had to be trimmed underneath a little to accomodate the Dual N1 exhaust. The first track test is coming up.

I think the "cheapest" one out there is Chuck's replica of the "new style" RE diffuser Pro which is $550 according to his website: http://www.rotaryextreme.com/rediffuser.html
I like the old style better on a car like mine with no bodykit, but if your FD has a kit the new style would probably match it better. Just a guess. The old style is very subtle and if you didn't know better you would think the car came like that. (like the diffuser on the Modena and new Viper)

Coulthard Fan,
Was there much trimming required? I also have a dual n1.
I'm thinking of purchasing the same one, but getting a copy made in carbon fiber.
Also, do you have any more pics of it from different angles possibly?
Thanks

p.s. you must park your car for what, 6 months a year? I was in Calgary (skiing in Banff http://www.banfflakelouise.com/) last weekend and all I saw was snow everywhere!

I don't like the new RE's style diffuser. I think the old style looks so much better. Here is a link to most of the rear diffusers for an FD.

i notice most of these designs have changed to a smoother design with one large dip instead of the "fin" style design that the "old" RE one uses...
is there some reason for this?? maybe someone with more aero engineering experience than me can chime in?? just wondering if one of these pictured designs should WORK better than the others....even if it may not look as good.
TIA,
-Nic

Coulthard Fan,
thanks for the pic. If you have bigger ones, or more send em to minakabani@shaw.ca.
As for calgary weather, ya its pretty crappy during winter, but its weird. We've had a few days here and there where its like 15-20 C in the middle of an otherwise freezing cold (-25 C) week.
I usually drive the car from late april till late october. So you're pretty close.

As for banff, eventhough its only about 80km from calgary, it does tend to get alot more snow than us (being buried in the mountains and all)
