ripped_fear Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Got to be a top secret or shine auto with the vortex generators dude! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamieP Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 What kit is it? do they not make a specific diffuser for that kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Welcome Stu! Car looks pretty aggressive as is mate! I'm guessing from the pics that its still in Japan or on its way over!? Which importer did you go with!? As for diffuser it really depends on the rear of the car and available fixing points...DoLuck could probably fit but given the look of the car it get one custom fabricated.

fastcar Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I think the auto shine diffuser would be your best bet. Its a replica of the top secret carbon rear diffuser. You can also get it in fibreglass too. I think jamie p has one on his supra with a wide arch kit and looks sweet. No doubt he will in soon with some pics or you can look in his garage for pics Must learn to trype faster[GRIN][/GRIN] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stu-R Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 Cheers for the replies, its the Tamon design GT-1, imported by Jurgen and getting collected this month. Im guessing most diffusers mount onto the rear bumper hence why its best to use the one designed by for the kit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 (edited) http://jm-imports.co.uk/cardetails/toyota/2011/supra24.htm Good choice going with Jurgen mate...top bloke!

ripped_fear Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Only fits with stock rear bud. The bumper pictured looks like a stock just with the wide body fender bolted on like the ridox so cant see why it wont fit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stu-R Posted January 9, 2012 Author Share Posted January 9, 2012 A quick google reveals a few diffrent tamon design diffusers but tbh there not that good looking, I think if the shine auto one fits ill go for that, anyone got any pictures of how its fitted?

sideexitsupra Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Pretty sure the Shine one will fit looking at the pics. You may not be able to fit the vortex generators though. I have the carbon one from Whifbitz on mine and with the Ridox replica rear spats the vortex generators would not fit. Loads of options on fitting as it is "hung" on metal brackets that are adjustable. I have just dropped mine by about 25mm at the rear where it joins the bumper. Looks much more aggressive. Simply a longer bolt and some aluminium tube shaped on the ends to fit. Have a look here http://http://garagewhifbitz.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/shineautotimscar.jpg Sorry cant get the link to work from my iPhone. http://garagewhifbitz.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2011/09/shineautotimscar.jpg Cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SupraD06 Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Not sure if these are custom made or not, but found a few pics of your kit with a diffuser fitted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fastcar Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 looks sweet with that rear difusser. you should have a problem with fitting the autoshine one to be honest Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Took me 2 days to fit the frigging the thing on my own, on the drive, didn't even jack it up either. I had to make the brackets and I customized the side mounting pods to work with my widearch set up. It doesn't help I am a perfectionist either, everything lines up pretty much perfectly, which is why it took 2 days, threw away more brackets than I used A couple of pics so you can get an idea, but no Vortex genarators on mine, think your kit would need them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westy Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 I agree...that Tamon kit will need the vortex generators and the centre section I'd say! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sideexitsupra Posted January 9, 2012 Share Posted January 9, 2012 Took Darren at Whifbitz less than an hour to fit mine. Although he did have me to hold bits for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DodgyRog Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 (edited) Took Darren at Whifbitz less than an hour to fit mine. Although he did have me to hold bits for him. A lot of measuring was done on the Carbon Side pods to try and work out how much to cut of and I am guessing he had it off the ground It was a bit of trial and error in the end, but being very cautious not to remove/cut away to much of the Carbon mounting pods, as obviously once they were cut there was no going back:nyah: Also I had no brackets and made them out of a stainless steel bar on the wall with a Dremmel and a trusty pair of Pliars to hold it with (I am a Pro you know:innocent:) Edited January 10, 2012 by DodgyRog (see edit history) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noz Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Rog, your just running the diffuser. I'm considering this option but want to keep my veilside spats. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
