does anyone have any pics of the underbody of any jgtc s14's or anything similar? i am looking for ideas on making an undertray and diffusers. if anyone has any pics or anything that might help, please post. thanks!
(ps, didnt really know where to put this, usually smart ppl in the susp. forum)

Flat bottom:
"It is obligatory to install a flat bottom over the entire length of the car as viewed from underneath excluding wheel the housing and outer rear view mirrors. Between the front and rear wheel centerlines, the underbody of the car shall be securely fitted to a solid structure which is flat, impervious and rigid under all circumstances. The flat bottom shall not have an aerodynamic effect under any circumstance. No air stream may pass between the floor of the ****pit and the flat bottom. It is permitted to have a radius of maximum 25mm upwardly at the perimetric edge of the flat bottom."
From reading that and other info on that page, it would seem that, excluding a rear diffuser, there is to be nothing under the car except a flat plate as stated above. Check the part on "Aerodynamic Device"

Well, I can get a hold of some aluminum plate for next to nothing, and was wanting to play around with it. "if" (big if) i made a 1 piece undertray, i wouldnt be trying to create a low pressure area to such a great extent that it would cause suction, but wouldnt it decrease the pressure at least minimally, since i would be blocking off a good deal of exposed components, reducing turbulence?
it would probably not make any downforce, but it would at the very least decrease lift a small amount, the way i see it. please explain if i am wrong?
