Didnt' one of us have an ex K-mart racing wing? I think it was Garreth he is, maybe ask him!

Yeah, Gareth has one. I know where he got it from, and there's none available. I put in an offer on the same wing... he beat me by about $10 :wave:

Richard: That's not a bad idea... It may be worth the severe beating I may cop! I was thinking more the 'rip and run' though haha :pirate:

hahaha I'll consider it Troy :dry:

The toughness of these standard engines are surprising me, and I've always been a big advocate of the strength of these engines... I just comp tested 162, 159, 160, 160 on my stock engine

Like this Troy??

dean, gt wings are aid to make under diffuser work, you'll need a serious of both to make them work 100%.

we just wind tunnel tested under diffuser and wing, we will be releasing them in couple of months time.

we had all the setting now to make them. but they won't come cheap bro, wing and diffuser package around $2k.

if you want to see the car in action, look at the super sedan series, we tested on Kerrick sponsored swedish prestige saab this coming 25or 26th may at qld.

real racing is very serious matter, you will need a new front bar to aid the rear dean, your front is nono for downforce.

we also tested front diffuser angle too. :O

the setting are classified until product released.

well i have a wind tunnel at home troy. it's 1/10th scale though and powered by twin black and decker desk fans. as long as you can make a model of your spoiler small enough (no bigger than about 15cm wide) then I'm happy to test it for you. for the smoke trail I use a bong or sometimes a crack pipe if I'm out of pot. can only test for about 10 mins and then I can't smoke any more and the results become a bit wild.

Hey Freddy, sounds interesting mate, I'll give you a buzz about it and come down for a chat to see the designs :)

Have you designed other front bars? I really would like to keep mine, but we can discuss options. I know the Kerrick car, but I'll take a closer look at it.

    • I hope it's actually possible. This is a write off in insurance world.
    • Yup. 2-way with shallow ramp angles. Still works.
    • That was the first session so not a lot to take from the day. It was low 20s ambient and the coolant had got to 110 (and obviously had some pressure!) so that still needs to be addressed. I haven't downloaded the data yet but will. I had refilled the auto trans with Redline DT6 because it claimed the best viscosity I could find at 100o. It wasn't really long enough to get a good feel for that; while the trans got to 100o in the session it still wasn't shifting crisply as I hoped. I think I'll try a few more sessions before judging. No steering motor overheat but I'd hope not in only 1 session! But finally the suspension; it was night and day over the standard stuff and the car was a couple of seconds quicker on the same crappy tyres, which is a huge difference. I'll stick with that and get some sway bars and a mechanical diff sorted too and see how that all goes together
    • I guess it’s partially a compromise of how my car is used, wanting to be able to switch from drift to grip with track side on-car adjustment. Also partially with the way the knuckles are set there is more static camber but less dynamic camber gain. 
    • OK, so update from the track day on Friday It was a classic "an unfortunate series of events'. There were a few cars around and when i checked my mirror coming out of the fish hook I notice some smoke from the rear of mine. Looked again and it was getting much worse, I figured I'd blown a turbo or something to got off it and pulled off the racing line. However.... since it is a left hairpin into a right kink, I was on the inside of the next corner. There was a car passing me on the left and a big drop off over the ripple strip on the right......and someone had knocked the witch's hat that was on the apex about 1m onto the track. So, between those 3, I decided to mow down the cone and not damage my car/the other car. Right choice, but surprising result.  The car decided the cone was a small pedestrian so it blew the rear bonnet hinges up to protect their head in the upcoming person to car impact....I didn't see that coming and like an airbag deployment it happened super fast. Straight into the pits from there, everything was driving fine but it became clear it was a coolant leak not smoke, it was billowing up onto the windscreen. Onto the trailer and home. I'll do a separate thread about the repair (once I work out what it is ), but the immediate problem was the bonnet wouldn't open because the front was pinched onto the front bar and would not release. Ultimately we unbolted the hinge from the bonnet, pulled it back a little and it released from the front OK. "There's your problem", the top radiator hose had popped off at the radiator.
