Rear Diffuser

Fitted the rear diffuser, I wanted to fit the diffuser in a similar to the way Chris with the grey MNR, he fitted his with a small overlap at the rear and bolted at the sides.

Fist job was to position the diffuser, I did this with a jack to hold it loosely in place. I then used the Dremmel to shape the sides near the rear arches, I then marked the bottom edge and shortened the diffuser by a couple of inches to allow the edge to slide under the bottom lip of the floor panel. I left the sides in place so that I could use them for the front fixings at the front edge of the wheel arch.

I then fitted a piece of mesh to the centre section and tiger sealed it in place. I next used tiger seal again to fix the edge strip in to place. I left the diffuser over night to dry.

I fixed the diffuser in to place with the front lip and then taping the rear in place. I then drilled and fixed in place with 3 points on either side with M8 repair washers, nylocks and large head hex bolts. The centre section needed some support, so in the section either side of the centre tunnel l used a 2mm drill to make a hole through the diffuser and in to the bottom lip of the body tub. I then used two small self tapping screws to take the weight of the centre section of the diffuser and to pull it tight to the bottom edge.

Blyton Park

Had a day out yesterday and met up with the MNR team along with a decent turn out of MNR owners.

Experienced some track action as a passenger with Leon in his MNR, he drove it like he'd stolen it!! Nothing came close, even full blown race cars at 3 times the cost with downforce.

Later on he hit a cone while not paying attention, he was checking out his dash and he bent a front wishbone, lost a cycle wing and damaged a rear arch. MNR sorted him out and replaced the wishbone at trackside and got him back on the track. Surprisingly they had a set of wishbones on the trailer, guess they have been here before.

There were some really great MNR's at Blyton, one that I was impressed with was a tidy grey and black car owned by Chris, he's done a top job and has given me some ideas.

Like his Tillett seats, they are comfortable and look amazing. Will look in to getting a pair of these when I get my car back from IVA. Also like how Chris has fitted his diffuser, his rear  brake callipers and the 0.7mm carbon used on his boot lid.
