got_obrut Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 I am part owner of a business that specializes in functional rear air diffusers for cars. We are a brand new company and only have diffusers available for Mustangs, but since I just bought a '87 Starion I want to make a template for the Starions/Conquests. I was hoping someone could tell me is there is any difference in the rear underbody of the Starion and Conquest between 1984(first year?) and 1989 (last year?). Also I would like to get an idea of how many people want one as well. They will sell for around $249 bare aluminum. We have a $30 discount right now!!! They look great, and I can't wait to make one for my Star! Let me know! Here is our web page: The pics are of the first prototype, the pics for the final one is getting developed and will be on there end of this week. www.dynamicdiffusertechnologies.com -Daniel '87 Starion ESI-R/'97 Neon ACR (407) 748-0941 Tallhassee, FL Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backslider Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 The back of our cars definently need something. I would be in for one. As for differances through the years, I am not aware of any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
backslider Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 BTW nice Cobra on your site. I plan on putting the 03 Cobra rims on my Conquest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
got_obrut Posted May 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 That would be hot, we've put a lot of work into that Stang. I don't think I'll ever trade the rims on my Star, they are real unique...the only other car I've seen rims like that are on some of the little hot wheels... 8) If we have more replies we will start on a template for the Starions/Conquests sometime next week. So, after the wind tunnel test and final adjustments they will be up and selling mid June. And I will see on giving a special discount for members of this forum.

MontyTSI Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Hey i could possibly be interested..i would like to see the product on your car first though... BTW...how about a package deal with a front adjustable splitter(adjustments out of site inside the airdam) That diffuser looks good on that cobra. It looks nice but fairly discreet (thats the way most of us like improvements to our starquests) Good luck on your new company Monty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rusky Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Yeah, I'd like to see pics of it on your car. I'd be interested as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHC Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Be carefull selling on this board is my advise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shawn_Silva Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Daniel, Interesting product, very original. I would be interested as well, would like to see pics as well. Disregard CHC, he's a little tender right now. Take care Shawn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
got_obrut Posted May 21, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 That front splitter is a great idea and will be on the backburner for now seeing as we are developing for 4 different cars right now. The other owners and I really like that idea. I know about discrete mods...My last car was a '97 neon ACR pulling 14.2 1/4 ET and the only external mod I made was nice clean projectors. No rice here. I am very happy with the responce so far so we will start development on the diffuser right away. My guess is we will have the final product for sale in about a month to a month 1/2. *If you gather a group buy of 10 or more then I will hook you guys up real well. I have this post in the items for sale and they were asking about group buys. I will work on getting a picture as soon as possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tmendeol Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Please excuse my ignorance but, what is the purpose of a rear air diffuser??? -Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CHC Posted May 21, 2003 Report Share Posted May 21, 2003 Please excuse my ignorance but, what is the purpose of a rear air diffuser??? -Tim it is supposed to straighen out the air that is coming from under the car. In high speed applications, it will create a low pressure area behind the car and actually "suck" the air from under the car helpng create downforce. On a street car, its for nothing but looks.

Rusky Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 Also, how much weight will it add to the rear? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontyTSI Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 that would depend on how fast you go in your"street car" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The_real_cowl Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 that would depend on how fast you go in your"street car" I dunno, do you drive 100 plus on the street? thats about the speed where they start to kick in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 Discreet and functional is the key! I agree with whiteTSInVA... Hey i could possibly be interested..i would like to see the product on your car first though... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar_the_Grouch Posted May 22, 2003 Report Share Posted May 22, 2003 got_obrut You seem to have a nice piece of metal there... I am definatelly in for the look of it but I have to be honest I dont see MANY of us taking FULL Advantage of the difusser's FULL ability. But if the final product looks good as a nice discrete add on then I'll jump on the wagon ! Oscar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jisleyjr Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 I am 50/50 in. Depends on final product. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontyTSI Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 I dunno, do you drive 100 plus on the street? thats about the speed where they start to kick in. Yep ;D....but on desolete untraveled roads only or when someone needs to be shut up...but keep in mind unless you have a rear spoiler that is a barn door and at a 45 degree angle it doesnt do much til a 100 or so either.

got_obrut Posted May 23, 2003 Author Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 The first design, the one you see on our site, was designed for looks and is not functional. Â The functional one for the mustang is finishing today and will posted on the site hopefully no later then tomorrow. Â We thought it would appeal to a larger audience if we made something that looked good and would perform too. Â And I think a little personal pride in our product wouldn't let us sell it without knowing it does well in the wind tunnel. Â Not sure at what speed it will be totaly affective yet, wind tunnel test is Saturday or Monday on the functional Mustang Diffuser. Personally, I'm in it for the looks and who wouldn't brag about it being functional? Â Not like most of those spoilers out there that don't do anything just look good and occasionally cook a hot dog on? Â Me and my old roomate tried that once... Â Do you think this wing will help the functionality at lower speeds???

jr_ss Posted May 23, 2003 Report Share Posted May 23, 2003 I like this idea, It will cover that ugly a** gas tank up, but not only that how many cars around the street do you see with that? it would be original, and not like every aftermarket spoiler everyone buys. I'll be one of the ten to purchase this, but discret and functional it must be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiplee Posted May 24, 2003 Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 the a** end of our car is certainly lacking something. I'm not sure if this is it but I'm dying to see how it looks. Also, I've never been a stang guy but man when they're done right they look mean as hell. And this one is done right, IMO. Nice work http://www.dynamicdiffusertechnologies.com/images/165575_401_full.jpg Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turbo26tsi Posted May 24, 2003 Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 I have a carbon fiber cover over my gas tank right now, does look a little better, but i have been waiting forever for a diffuser for our cars. I am going over 100mph quite often, so i can justify the performance of it. I'm in for sure. Just must see pics of finished product. It outta dress up the back really nice too, and go with my 3 piece spoiler from new zealand ;D keep us updated. peace, kevin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MontyTSI Posted May 24, 2003 Report Share Posted May 24, 2003 I like this idea, It will cover that ugly tail gas tank up, but not only that how many cars around the street do you see with that? it would be original, and not like every aftermarket spoiler everyone buys. I'll be one of the ten to purchase this, but discret and functional it must be. The end of that sounds like Yoda..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
