I really like the idea, and the one you have looks REALLY clean.

However with that said, I don't take my car above 110 (or really, above 85 most of the time). Even the stock GT engine will only get you up to 120. I would understand a little bit more if we were achieving speeds of 150+, but I don't think our cars have enough power to really use this to their advantage.

However, it does look really sweet. I'm glad someone did it, I just wouldn't find it as practical as it should be (for me at least).

wow your celica only get you to 120 mine as with an air filter and exhaust was pushing out just over 156mph on the motorway when i first bought it to see what it could get up to. if your's only reaches 120 then you either have a problem or you didn't put your foot down hard enough lol

Nope, I think he's fine. I don't think a factory GT can reach much over 120.

Any California legal one has a limiter around 126. Honestly, it's a 2.2 I4 with only 135hp to the crank stock, why bother breaking 120?

If I want to go fast, I take my bike out for a spin. 186 will scare the **** out of you when you don't have a cockpit surrounding you...

hey guys since your talking about air defusers for the celica ive got a bit of a problem ive been working on a supra rear end conversion but ive notice the particular way ive set up mine its basicaly just trapping all the air inside of the rear end acting like a parachute enough ive noticed the difference does anyone have any ideas i was thinking about fabricating an under body panel or putting a type of vent to get rid of the trapped air but its not quite the same what are you guys thoughts sorry kinda off subject but its kinda related though
yellowchinaman wut you think

there is 2 ways round that. either close or seal the inlet wher its scooping the air or open the back to let the air out.
I'd say cut a vent and put a mesh there. Closing the inlet would mean fabricating something complicated.

Many aftermarket rear bumpers with a so called diffuser look under it does more bad then good becuase they act more like a scoop or like you discribed it as a parachute.

If I finish the rear diffuser ( for GT4 ) would you be interested on making some kind of deal ?

I would only make 1, 2 at most, so you could have one of them to make a mold and make them in CF

I have drawings and calculations, but since is cold and getting colder, It'd take me some time ( maybe beginging of next year ? ) to finish it, working VERY slowly on this.

Still cold but I'll be building ONE of these, if yellowchinaman and I agree to a deal I'll be making a second one for him that he could use as a template, but we are looking at maybe 2-3 months down the road

well we've fabricated a universalone which is very effective to improve air flow. However the GT four has a low down tank and is not in line with the bumper so brackets to maintain a 11 degree slope is necessary for maximum air flow efficiency.




On a normal non GT four Celica it should fit flush because it downt have a low tank and should look a little bit like this:


We've sold many to Silvia owners already as it's a univeral diffuser.


i couple of quick questions....

how wide is this one?
how expensive is it?
where can i get one of these?

thanks.......

aha i get how it works now.
the gt4 tank is alot further back than the ST204
Thats why my only option was to bolt it to the rear subframe.
And also why i was able to mount it flush with the bumper
Im not sure if thats what it was intended for but it works perfectly

Damn Tiga! Money shot pose for a USDM. Now you need a new rear profile signature.

I can see that you raised the difusser up more than what it would with a GT4 fuel tank. Would it impact any air flow directing it upward towards the rear bumper though?
