I’ve been busy on the CAD modelling up my OEM S1 diffuser with a mind to use this as a base to make an extended version much like the Edwasds ones many of you lot have fitted to your cars. We’ve got a couple of VERY fast tracks here and the more rear-end, high-speed stability I can get, the better!
I’d happily buy one off them, but freight to NZ would make it prohibitively expensive so thought I’d try my own. I just want to know how far to extend the rear lip of the extended diffuser and how low to make the channel-fins. I also want to know what profile to make the rear lip, whether to just extend the edge of the diffuser or whether to square it off more. Alternatively I could just follow the bodywork profile.
I Don’t want to end up with something that sticks out a mile and looks too silly, but I don’t want something that just looks better but does nothing to benefit the handling.
If anyone can help out with some detailed pics of Edwards-arsed S1s (or other similar designs), I’d appreciate it muchly
WOT ya mean Tangerine Terror …Stealth Orange is the new IN colour.
I need a car to test when I arrive in December…hope ypu KiwiExigers have got something lined up!!!
I’ll probably be speaking with Martin Edwards tomorrow (& I’m seeing him on Saturday in any event), so I’ll let him know you’re after a diffuser. Don’t forget that tinkering with cars is their hobby, not their livelihoods
Did you ever manage to get a pic\dimensions for the diffuser? Only I have one fitted to my car so if you want I could whip it off and take a few pics and measurements.

No, I haven’t yet, have been doing other stuff so have put this on the back burner. Some measurements would be GREAT. Basically just want to know whether the shape of the rear lip of the diffuser follows the line of the car and if it sticks out, how much does it stick out by? Also an approximate height of the fins above the ground (of course this’ll depend on ride-height too, but approximate is good.
Any information you can give would be greatly appreciated
Told Martin you’re trying to get in touch - he’ll look at his “Inbox” & get back to you. In the meantime, I’ll pm you his phone number, so you can chase him after the weekend if needs be.

I haven’t forgotten about you. I didn’t get a chance at the weekend to do it, but I’ll definitely do it this weekend.

That’s fine, no hurry… it’s just hovering around on my “things to do when bored” list

Hi I’ve taken it off and have done a drawing of it in SolidWorks 2007 How would you like it? A drawing, DXF or SolidWorks files etc?
