Starlight Black Elise with BWR exhaust
and K&N Intake.
7
Element
I
have an 05 Elise, that is N/A with no
front lip or other ground effects, and
has the Sport suspension set up. Got
home this weekend from a trip to Idaho,
and went to work sunday night at around
10:30pm and had the whole thing installed
by 11pm. The fit was PERFECT, you could
tell there was A LOT of care and detail
that went into making the diffuser.
The construction is VERY solid, I personally
feel the factory diffuser was a little
on the weak flimsy side, but the quality
is TOP NOTCH!!!
I
had JUST driven my lotus on a 1000 mile
road trip this weekend. We hit everything
from cross winds, to sunny weather,
to dry heat, etc...and this was before
I put the diffuser on. I mention this
because this will let you know that
I had a VERY good idea of the performance
benefits I have felt from the new diffuser,
since I just drove the OEM set up the
day before. The crosswinds had me ALL
over the road (I say this in comparison
to what I experieneced today), and the
cross winds were about 20 to 30 mph...so
they were pretty intense.
TODAY,
After the installation of the Difflow
7 element diffuser was a COMPLETELY
different experience. I drove the lotus
into work, and trip that I have done
many a times before, and the experience
was COMPLETELY different. Going to work
I had about a 30 to 40 mph wind coming
in from the west. This breaks down to
a tail wind for the first 30 minutes
of the drive and then a nasty crosswind
for the last 15 minutes as I follow
a river right through the valley. They
car handled AMAZINGLY well. I was LITERALLY
driving the car with just 3 finger tips
and a thumb tip and wasn't even working
at it, and I was doing speeds from 60
to 90 mph. When the freeway openned
up, and I had the chance, I wanted to
see how it felt at faster speeds, and
lets just say that at "Spirited"
driving speeds the car was ROCK solid.
It didn't flinch, sway, or hiccup in
anyway. My friend who was with me wasn't
that impressed (he had never driven
with me to work before so he had nothing
to compare it to), BUT when I took a
30 mph offramp at 65 mph and then a
90 degree turn at about 45mph or better
the statement out of his mouth was DANG!!!
The car just freaking HOOKED UP!!! (He
had been with me on some twisty roads
before).
He
was right, on those two corners my car
has twitched a little bit or "hopped"
a little because of the road condition,
however today the car stuck SO WELL
that it was ridiculous at how much more
confidence such a simple addition did
to the handling performance of my car.
So
I must say, that if you have been riding
the fence on a Difflow Diffuser, PLEASE
don't hesistate. The diffuser where
it has great looks is VERY VERY VERY
functional, and it does its job SO WELL,
it is RIDICULOUS!!!! I also realize
that the pictures actually don't do
the diffuser justice, because it is
not NEARLY as "Agressive"
looking as I thought it would be (i.e.
HUGE). This is larger than the original
stock, and does stick out further than
the original stock, but everyone who
has seen it, agrees that it looks great.
(Even my WIFE said it looked good...and
trust me that is a VERY hard compliment
to come by).
So
Seriously, Give Glenn a call/Pm/Email
the guy, because you are MISSING OUT
if you have been debating.
THANK
YOU AGAIN GLENN!!!
