I spoke to spud fri and he said they are in the process of producing one from the mold and should be on the website after the weekend for around the 90-100 quid mark.

It's finally complete Steve and we are quite pleased with it even though the fins where quite fiddly to cast. The diffuser description and some pics are here and also include a few guides to fitting:

http://www.saturnsportscars.co.uk/st...d&productId=94

The pics are of the first casting and show some signs of the pva release agent that was used to make sure it was free to be removed from the mold the next castings will be waxed for a better finish and the pics updated. The first casting is only 1 layer of 450 gsm matting and is still quite stiff when fixed but the remainder will be cast in 2 layers of 450.

All the Best.....Andrew

Good job Spud.

Don't take this the wrong way but you should correct the discription on the website, "to prevent are circulating in diff" now I know it's "air" but somepeople can be an ar**.

Cheers Jimmy, the error of my spelling has been corrected.

BTW "discription" is spelt Description....... Couldn't resist it.

Took the car out last night and it seems to work as intended, the car seems more stable at higher speed and certainly pulls better from 60 to 100mph - quite noticably, and braking at speed is a bit more stable. Can't speak about downforce but it wasn't really intended for that will have to take it on the track - next week hopefully, Teesside track booked for race car setup......

Don't really want extra grip on the rear though as there is already plenty and would have to increase front quite a bit to re-balance the car.

Regards....Andrew

Obviously the 60 to 100 test was on a private road as you wouldn't possibly be doing that speed on public roads officer!

How would the open sides affect turbulence? Would it be an easy thing for someone at home to fill in the sides if it requires it?
