Love being NAKED! - LotusTalk

plastique999 · 10-10-2008, 07:45 PM

I know...wish these were NSFW pics....
but just a 5 element diffusor Naked (next time I'll post a girl...

)

Thanks to Jamey at Rawlings Audio who modified the von Hep eliminator and did the install with great attention to detail.

IXLR8 · 10-10-2008, 08:19 PM

No.

I guess no one has commented because it looks like ish.
Why did you do that?
I know, "to each his own.
I just don't get it.

plastique999 · 10-10-2008, 08:21 PM

Thanks....mainly for tracking purposes.

siejai · 10-10-2008, 08:27 PM

Does that scrape on speed bumps? It looks really low to the ground, then again, maybe it's the angle

lotusforsale · 10-10-2008, 08:30 PM

If you need these for tracking, well function over form. Go for it.

Aesthetics? Mheh. Not so nice.

Those on the back of a John Deere would plow a field.

Rei · 10-10-2008, 09:37 PM

I like the open look and thing about it you have less heat build up, better down force, and less weight. Good looking let us know if it helps out on the track.

MightyMike · 10-10-2008, 09:39 PM

I think your setup looks pretty sharp - looks aggressive. I have the Reverie CF three element diffuser with a Borla exhaust and S111 v1 rear panel eliminator kit.

Another honest answer.

You have a beautiful car..........keep it that way,

ducboy · 10-10-2008, 10:10 PM

Everything is better naked

As a matter of fact, I'm getting naked tomorrow with my new pipe

I'll post pics.

Stale_Hotdog · 10-10-2008, 10:12 PM

That 5 element looks almost as good as it does on my car

. Looking sharp there Eddie

Amarao · 10-10-2008, 10:30 PM

I like the rear panel eliminator, I like the 5 element diffuser, but that exhaust makes me throw up a little when I look at it.

Curious too.

I agree. I enjoy being naked. Just need to remember to close the blinds.

FLuXeXigeS · 10-10-2008, 10:53 PM

tough crowd

if you make your car look nice you are being a "poseur"
if you make your car look like a track machine its ugly

damned if you
damned if you dont

FCUK IT!!!! do what you wanna do bro, you all good with me

cspak71 · 10-10-2008, 11:01 PM

The five element diffuser is something you have to see in person. I recall being a bit apprehensive about it, but then I saw it in person on Shinoo's car.. and I immediately thought it looked good.

Granted it may be a bit more appropriate for the aggressive looks of the Exige... I haven't seen it on an Elise in person yet.. but I don't doubt it would look just as good.

ZJChaser · 10-10-2008, 11:16 PM

I like it..but I'm a bit biased about being naked....the working bits are just so much cooler with the nice airflow it affords

PatrickShim · 10-10-2008, 11:49 PM

Considering the title, I thought I was going to see pictures of Eddie in his birthday suit. Not that I'm into that, but opened the thread anyway (some sort of a morbid fascination...)

Eddie, thanks for not posting any indecent pictures of yourself here.

The car looks awesome!

Doesn't scrap on speed bumps...it's almost as low as my Gut front splitter. My ride height can be adjusted on the Ohlins.
Jamey basically cut 1 inch out of the rear panel eliminator to bring it up higher.

Finally!...this is the whole point! I'm not a farmer, so no plowing....but when I add the S/C to this tractor, believe you me the 5 element will be functional.

...or leave them open...

Coi, you're right...you're damned if you do, damned if you don't...but as you know, this car is targeting more for the track (even though I daily it!) - function preceding form.

Sideoiler · 10-11-2008, 06:15 AM

Mmmm me likey. Looks good

yak52pilot · 10-11-2008, 06:56 AM

i love it. It looks right on this car. Would look even better on Exige.
I had the same setup before returning to stock.

serpent · 10-11-2008, 07:46 AM
