Just finished installing my diffuser last night. looks really good. I texture painted it my self. Primer, Texture paint then black enamel to finish it off.

Looks great Brian! What did you do for brackets?

 

looks goood

where did u get it from? is it easy to install?

 

I made my own. Real easy, just went to Lowes and purchased some angle material. It even came with holes pre-punched. I took the bumper off and used the existing holes already there. You just have to drill two holes. My heat shield was already modified so it was easy.

Looks nice, is that the Hamman diffuser and if not, what brand?

 

I got mine from Richard at http://www.showcardetailing.com/. I know he had them I just don't know if he still has them. He couldn't find a box to ship them so he was selling them to local guys only.

Install was easy for me .

My camera makes my wheel look like they have positive camber in this photo. Strange.

Having not met you, this picture tells quite a bit as to how you came about your screen name.

 

he's also got a bitchin pink beach cruiser

 

Longboard, diffuser looks good. What rear grilles are you running there?

 

Looks great Longboard! Dang I'm jealous. I bought 5 of them, and I still haven't installed or painted mine yet!!

I got 2 left ready for pickup. Several people have inquired to me about shipping costs, etc...the amount of profit I make on these is really very small, and getting boxes large enough for them for more labor and more costs isn't all that appealing.

I bought them from Ground Dynamics and so can anyone else--but they quoted me like $90 to ship one--even though it's a 30 minute drive to their warehouse for me.

Just one more reason to add the list of why you have one of the coolest MINIs in existance.

 

So, Longboard...I notice you don't indicate your location in any GIS relevant way. Hence are you in one of those parts of the world where it rains? I ask because your tires seem to be symmetric, rather than otherwise. Why aren't you running ultra-HP tires given how super your car is?
btw, no dis here. I aspire to the heights you have already achieved!!

I don't understand your question. Google shows this.

He's in SoCal since he did stop by my shop to pick up the diffuser.

 

Well, given that Longboard lives in CA, I can now ask a more directed question: why the choice of tires that you have? I am always interested in the choice of components of those Mini owners I admire--and Longboard has such a car. I run asymetric tread tires (RT-615s) and would like to know what Longboard is running.
As I said--this is nothing more than an inquiry. Longboard and I have communicated in the past and there's nothing negative here.

btw, since when did NAM see a diss around every post? Is this the side effects of the recession at work?

 

Looks good. But does it really do anything other than look good? I like it and dont want to take away from your car but I am looking it at a performance point of view. If your rear end has less dirt after installing this then I will be the next one to put one on.

 

tread pattern looks like he's running toyo T1R's.

back on topic, always dug those diffuser things
