usually do my own work .. so i was looking at the air diffuser and tried my best to do my own .
just wondering if it goes with the car.
or what?

btw its not mounted yet and i have to realign my tip

 

I think it looks pretty good would have to see more pics to be sure though

 

How functional is it? As in....What does the other end hook up to?/How it the belly pan arranged?

If it is purely cosmetic from behind, that is what r i c e r s do. High performance looking parts with zero function.

 

ya looks sick on a fully race style modded thirdgen. not sure how that would work tho..but maybe thats just my personal ignorance on the issue

 

Looks sweet but not that efficient or functional. I planed to do a smiler thing back when i had another 3rdgen that i was building strictly for road racing, with belly pans front air dam etc etc

 

probably not that efficient or functional
im not going to get into the whole physics on air turbulence and aerodynamics facts lol

because i mainly did it to cover that ugly cargo area.
and because i feel like its missing something or becuase i liked it on few road course vehicles.


i think it goes with the rest of the car.
maybe i need different tips. idk but i have to see it mounted for my last opinion
not sure if u guys seen Brent’s Chevrolet Camaro "Domestic Time Attack iroc" has something similar with out tips out to the rear.

its not a high performance part that was bought. because i made it.
my car is not a fully race style modded thirdgen yet. but is planned to see road course in the future.

but i might end up doing something different like a cme or borla's gtr series tips

 

Looking at your pics, I starting thinking....

Tuck the tips up into notches, like the 4th gen WS6 was, and put the diffuser between them.

Like these, but with your diffuser in place of the license plate......

or

 

I like your idea Stephen, I'll have to keep that in mind for future reference.

 

i too have plans on making one, plus i would like to put a splitter panel on the front. i will use sheet metal and attach with dzus fasteners. i have to wait til i get back to more normal work space( usmc in california ). i am just worried how strong the fins will be????? i think it looks awesome if done right. i would even consider trying to do a whole under body panel.

 

never even thought of that stephen that looks really good on that TA there and tpi terr ive seen the pics ofyour car from la invasion wish i was there with my guys from LVCFO next year hey where did you get your clear headlight covers

 

TPI, I think the whole concept is good and it goes well with the car however the ovalrounded tips on a car that is angled and edged in every place possible does create a bit of a conflict. Is it within your ability to mandrel bend some exhaust and mount both pipes in the center with the air diffuser on either side of it ?

 

yeah i can always add an outer piece to it..

this is something i really like as well

 

Subscribed, thanks for the ideas, I LOVE the look of it, and I'm sure it works somewhat, but this is no Le Mans car either.

Anyway I'd like to do something like under body panels like shown above. Can't wait to start trying.

-Take care

 

I think it looks pretty good. Might look better with some rectangle tips like the 4th gens had.

 

I know thats not a kitt I can purchase, but I am going to ask for the sake of anyone reading this. " Hey bro where did you get that underbody kit and how much? "

 

Do you have any additional pictures of this car? I'd love to see them.

 

That's the bottom of the Japanese drifting Camaro, with the carbon fiber hood, that everyone talks about, when they talk about carbon fiber hoods.

 

Well if they can do it we can do it, but it will most likely cost 20x as much since we are Americans who like to charge $135 for an inhaler when Cuba sells the exact equivalent for $0.05 US which we (The USA) sold to them.

Anyway, I'd love someone to make us some bolt on panels (is it that hard to get done?) as well as a rear diffuser, mainly to smooth the underside of our cars.

Ill keep coming back for updates. Lets not let the Japanese take over American muscle, seems like they offer more for our cars over there than we do here, and when I say that I mean things we don't normally get here like these underbody panels, CF hoods and panels, awesome updated wings, badass exhausts...etc. Which I'm sure they reproduce and sell over there, or are willing to.

 

If there is anyway we can get more pictures of that car it would be great, because there are some guys on this thread that have the skill and equipment to build this kind of stuff in days.

 

I thought that looked familiar.... that thing is a fully on race exercise.. not intended for daily use...

 

finally on ! i need to take pics and adjust my tip ..
ill be in the market for something else.. possibly coras clones. .idk yet..

 

I like it! Is that plastic?

I think we need some distance shots to see the whole car with that on.

 

I knew I had the page of pics Bookmarked, just couldn't find the page!

Lots of CF on this car, besides the hood.

 

tpi terr, nice car man, i think i saw your car in camaro performers under the readers cars. its pretty clean. but i think that rear air diffuser looks abit out of place.

 

you guys get the picture. i look at it and i forget that its even there. i think it looks good though

 

Not to steal your thunder.......

Here's a Camaro that is in the Popular Hot Rodding, July 1999. IRS, true dual exhaust, true belly pan for air flow, front nose air splitter & thats just found by looking at the pics!

 

i wish i had the money to build a nascar protype race car like that!!.. lol!!

btw thanks for finding ericksons camaro for me .ive been searchin all over the net for that!! id love to replicate that front air spliter!

 

No problem. I have a large collection of old Hot Rod/Car Craft/Popular Hot Rodding/etc. magazines & happened to read that article. When I saw the rear air diffuser, I just had to scan it for you.

The front air splitter looks pretty easy to build really. I've thought about that on my GTAs nose ,too, since the underside already has a bunch of flat panels. I could finish it off.

But my car has a long way to go, before I start building that kind of stuff. Would look really stupid, right now, on my car.

 

check out that roll cage on the japan camaro site
http://www.grace-co.co.jp/product/ro...l_cage_top.htm

 

Just goes to show when the Japanese do something, THEY F-ING DO IT!

But yeah bro, I would definately make your rear air diffuser idea come to life. Anyone calling it ricy hasn't looked under your hood yet.

 

the only thing i would do is tuck it up a little better so you dont see the edge like right here

 

That looks sweet dude! Cool mod!

 

...You mean birdcage.

 

hi

 

Do you have specs on your build? I brought this idea up a few months back in the fabrication boards and caught flack over it. I still think it's a good idea and hopefully once I can get situated a little better I can work on building on for my car.

 

i dont have any dimensions specs etc. sorry. but i wouldnt minds selling them . if i can get some one who can replicate my rear lip as well. thall be great

 

Hey Stephen, you wouldn't happen to have the Super Chevy "Project Silver Streak" buildup issues would ya? Thought I had saved those but can't seem to find them. I did have the Ericksson's Camaro article though..that thing is sweet.

 

What month/year? I can look around.

 

looks like it would have been 1999..just found a link to Part 8 which was March 2000

 

that is nuts. cant figure out why they do it and leave the stock console there. for racing - the halo is too low. and the carpet takes up too much weight.
just looks stupid.

but if you want to see something really nice you should see tpi's car in person. so very hot - i wanted to trade but for some reason he did not want my old camaro in trade for his.
his loss. lol.
it is a mighty fine camaro.
and tpi thanks for that grill - worked out well. now i have to find a can of oem 90 camaro blue to touch up the front bumper - just until i can paint the entire thing.

 

Hey Stephen..while you're digging through old magazines..do you happen to have a March 1993 issue All Chevy? Nice article on a 305 buildup.

 

What kind of material did you use to make yours?

 

The Silver Streak Camaro was a giveaway project car. It was spread out through several issues, maybe 11 or so. Sweet car that you could enter for a chance to win. Wonder what ever happened to it.

 

im getting ready to re do this diffuser in carbon fiber

 

sub.

 

did anything else ever happen with this diffuser?

 

Not much just re did it to suit my new exhaust I'd like to have in cf in the future

 

what did you make it out of, this is something i'd be interested in if you don't mind

 

Abs plastic rivets nuts n bolts I want to re do the base out of thin aluminum well see

 

you still running those clear covers over your lights? or did you grow sick of them? kind of curious on how you mounted them..
