Steve_Farrimond Posted December 26, 2013 Author Share Posted December 26, 2013 Ramps http://www.cjautos.eu/product_p/cr01.htm They're really good, unless you need to take a wheel off Diffuser At the end closest the front, you attach a small u shaped aluminium beam. This acts as a hook to hold the front end of the diffuser. At the back you utilise the brackets for the spare wheel carrier. You then fit an old school bonnet catch. One either side. Then still and fit the bonnet catch to the diffuser. Once fitted its a 10 second job to remove the whole diffuser. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
User0083 Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 I found a diffuser made a huge difference to stability at speed and stopped my front end getting really light above a certain speed. I had a thead on making and fitting one. I drilled into chassis with 6mm holes, used a tap to make threads then just used silicone on top of holes in diffuser (to stop water and rattles) then put a bolt/washer in. However I now have the old school bonnet pins instead, to allow easy access to check fuel lines and diff. I notice that you have no strakes on your diffuser, during my research it commented on their effectiveness in several sources. I fitted 6 strakes (including 2 outer edge fins). I do like the looks of the Aerodynamix diffuser and after deciding Ali would be better than GRP, I have now realised that it wouldn't make too much difference either way. Little shot of mine. Just to show. Would be great to switch and swap to see difference between two. I doubt very much there would be any noticeable difference at all though.

Aerodynamix Ltd Posted December 27, 2013 Share Posted December 27, 2013 Excellent Steve , always nice to see parts fitted . Nice looking car by the way There are some photo's on the website of the underside fittings on the website as per the link as per Steve's description : http://www.aerodynamix.co.uk/rear-diffuser.html Excellent to use the ramps whilst fitting so the suspension is not in droop Edited to add strakes are on the to do list but it's a pretty long list at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SootySport Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Those ramps are a great, must get some. like diffuser idea, will it make me go faster? or is just a styling feature? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Eastwood (Gadgetman) - Club Chairman Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 The manual versions of these style ramp have a bit of a reputation for being a pig to put up and take down. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve_Farrimond Posted December 28, 2013 Author Share Posted December 28, 2013 thanks for the comments on the car. I would like the Strakes, but i'm sure the whole thing looks a lot better, than performs. Ceriloi - I think this will just be in your head surely? I don't believe the car will handle any better with this attached. the ramps are great and available to lend if your local. personaly I wouldn't get another set, there great for the above task and servicing. everything else requires wheels off and therefore renders the ramps useless. it takes about 30 secs to pump the ramps up. i really wouldn't want to use a ratchet. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JOCKER Posted December 28, 2013 Share Posted December 28, 2013 Steve - these will be ideal when you help me with my diffuser, and bushes, and bearings, and steering mounts, and .... :-) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
