Default Rear Air Diffuser

I was wonder about making one for my Integra GS-R ... supposedly it suppose to give more down for. Best example would be the ones on the Lotus Elise. Anyone know anything about aerodynamics?

I dont mean to be a ***** but I'd suggest you do more research and read some books about this subject and see how much you can apply it to a production based car.

You might as well ask if we've dabbled in brain surgery. This is going to take a bit of research on your part, but my opinion is that it isn't worth the effort

You'd probably be better making some underbody trays to keep air out of your rear bumper. That thing's like a parachute. Also maybe for the suspension in front and back. If you're doing autocross, none of it is probably going to make a difference.

Really???? I have to research some on my own.... DAMN!!!

And yes i have been researching, the thing is i want to see if anyone else knows about aerodynamics/air diffuser to have a discussion about it. And don't you think i research this if i wanted to fabricate it on my own, and beside i was hoping someone would have a BA in aerodynamics, my gf's dad is a airplane mechanics (acutally now he's the inspector, making sure people don't f*ck up the work) so also i know some people who understands it but i would like more feedback.

edit: oh as for autocross, no i wouldn't be for dat. DUH! At those low speed it worthless.
