Hey Adam, do you have any cad files for a basic diffuser that I could use? My friend does carbonfiber and I'd like to make something, doesn't have to be pretty but just create df with low cd. At this point the racing budget is gone =/ Thanks

Andy

Only partway through the thread, but damned nice job.

Question: Going to try to do a restoration, as the job gets to paying better, but I was curious about the level of damage from leaking battery you had on that area of the frame, and how did you correct/treat it?

When I do, I will probably stop at J-spec.

It was mostly surface rust, did the sodium blasting which removed all existing rust. Good luck to you on your own project. Staying closer to stock is wise on the wallet.
