Big thanks to Luke Nibras and Scott in sorting this out

should be a great help in our aero planning

[handbrake]

Suspension components in. getting ready for some more Aero development. limited resources available to develop the front last year. we hope we get more much needed front downforce this year. we had the rear detuned as much as possible due to issues at the front.

Nice work...What are the plans for the upper arm?

Are you using std geometry just with new picks ups due to the tubular fromt end or are you changing the arm lengths, points, geometry ... the whole show?

[handbrake]

the graphic has the strut tower removed for simplicity.

it will go back in as you see in the picture on the previous page. the mount will be a the stock location but will be reinforced and with adjustability for roll cetnre tuning.

next year we may if time adn budget permits go for a compltetre geometry redesign. this year we are more aiming to better tune the suspension.

[handbrake]

car is now over with Luke at '4Race' for him to work his magic with composites. aero is still being fine tuned as we speak.

massive amounts of work still to come. we will be cutting it fine again I am afraid but hopefully a few good suspension tuning sessions before we go down this time

Great work Mark

[handbrake]

haha thanks Danh. cant wait to see your build. are you as self indulgent as me and do you have a thread in the projects section?

[Wardski]

Awesome work. Love the modeling snapshots. Professional job right there.

[maveric]

Whats been happening? It's been very quite in here for a while. Any updates?

[handbrake]

still going.

updates will be coming early june

another big few months ahead

[handbrake]

engine back from AMS. ready for more power

front end foam mould being cut

stock looking but not quite stock

[drag-on silvia]

thread needs an update badly, possibly also note that your not currently listed on the pro class competitor list? is the car gonna be ready?

[handbrake]

still going, but to keep to budget things have been slow.

we won't be at WTAC this year but should have the car up and running for october at the latest and will have the bet part of the year leading up to WTAC 2013 for testing and will be ready to take on the cyber GTR.

the firewall was finished off and the rear guards done.

The final welds are being finished this week and the car will be off to paint very soon.

The extensive carbon body work is underway but it is all custom and slow going to get right.

will certainly have more pictures and information soon!

also working on a new transmission. fingers crossed it all works out. will be big news for R35 fans to have an aftermarket track/drag transmission which is lighter/stronger and retains AWD!

[handbrake]

fenders finshed

[handbrake]

firewall and chassis mods finished and primed ready for paint, those who know the front of an R35 will see what we have done...

[9krpm]

Looks great Mark.

[WHITER33GTS-T]

Any new updates.?

Wow! That looks great Mark! Looks very professional and well thought. Much in the traditions of V8 supercars (in terms of suspension points triangulation)

Thanks
