Bringing them back from DISC - Verus rear diffuser

[ron@whoosh]

We have an opportunity to bring back the Verus rear diffuser for the Fiesta ST
This time around the fins will be shaped a little differently
Please post up with interest in bringing back this high quality yet functional aero piece for the Fiesta ST!

revised fin shape would resemble these - a more simple rounded shape

I like it without the 'spikes' sticking way out past the bumper.

I could even sell my No Pistons EVAP guard with this installed, but I would have to remove this every single time I wanted to swap out my multiple exhaust tips for my CP-E system.

The diffuser adds low pressure to the bottom side of the rear of the car and helps fill in the void behind the car, this decreases drag and lift

tons of interest on this so we're moving forward with producing them again with Verus

How does it mount? Riv-nuts or what?

Ron, is there any chance Whoosh could look into Verus bringing back the Fiesta ST rear diffuser for another run?

We tried, 50pcs minimum to make the run - it took over 3 years to sell off the first batch of 50
lots of interest until it was time to pay, then it's a ghost town...lol

as always, appreciate the community support. I know how it goes. I would've been one of those 50 but I'm sure there wouldn't be enough support to get to that magic number. especially when it might cost even more these days with inflation the way it is.

damn shame though. the way the FiST bumper's designed it actually needs that diffuser.

Just open the honeycomb trim section of the rear bumper cover. It gave me higher top speeds. I added the diffuser after opening the rear bumper and saw no gains. In short, it didn’t do anything to improve high speed performance. It might help with fuel economy but opening the rear bumper trim would likely help with that as well and it’s free. I read all the posted reviews of the Verus diffuser and only one other member had the same opinion I have. For track and top speed it’s useless without a flat floor and something additional that cleans up the air over the beam before it slides into the diffuser. The beam completely disrupts the airflow before the diffuser’s leading edge. That’s my theory anyway.. CAD vs reality.. Verus makes nice aero for other platforms but I’m unaware of real-world testing on the FiST like they do on the A90 Supra for instance. Be glad they won’t make them.. You’d be better off buying an appearance kit from Ron and putting the extra cash towards a LSD, short shifter or slightly larger turbo. Function before fashion 😂
