Striker Diffuser

[Maverick440]

Made my diffuser today for the back of the Striker............
Its a sort of combination between the flat floor extension with a central diffuser, probably do nothing but at least cleans up the rear end.........

Hopefully she will strat on Sunday morning ready for Donington!!

I like that, although I'd have been tempted to make the angle greater.

Is that a SoftBitsForSevens top?

Hi Adrian

I hadthe top made localy when I head the seats retrimed last year, He made a good job, and copied some pictures I had of the SoftbitsForSevens top (a lot cheaper too).

I folded the center tunnel sides befor I bent the angle, and its sort of limits the angle by the amount of "strech" there is in the sides, I wanted the look of a diffuser as opposed to a plain flat pannel as others ive seen fitted to striker's.

Well I think the diffuser must be working, whent to Donington today (bl00dy cold) and im not sure what has happend but on the way home looks like somthing has hit my RS2000 ally sump and put a dent / split in the sump..... needless to say its been leeking like a sive on the way home but luckely not enough to run dry and lose oil pressure.

Only noticed it when i made a detour on the way home to see my perents and my mum aske what was leaking, as there was an ever increasing pool of oil under the car.

Nedless to say theres loads of oil spray under the car yet not a drop on the rear bodywork so i guess the diffuser is doing somthing..........
