I'm confused. All sounds interesting and stuff but you guys need girlfriends :)

Jokes aside would you mind running those calcs on my new wing? What dimensions do you need other than the basice shape? Can you go by a photo?

Any chance taking me for more spins in this thing?

Sure. It's still got straight pipes on it so maybe a quick spin round the block lol. Car is now at the factory in ringwood. Problem is that it's wheelspin city as tyres aren't up to temp. Kinda pointless but you'll still like the experience haha

Russman how are you going for rear traction?

I went for a track night last Thursday and had nothing... My car was over steering and wheel spinning with any hint of throttle when not in a straight line. Has rear camber at 0.75 and toe 1mm in each side!

Whay tyres have you got? What susp?

My car is very settled in the rear now. I am runnig 265 AO50 Semi's though. It puts the power down very well but my power curve is very progressive. It doesn't ramp hard at all.

Check out my video's and you'll see how well it's working. Nothing fancy with suspension settings. Springs are 6kg/mm I think and shocks are adjusted to soft.

Looking forward to this weekend. I am so going to T-Bone your car through the flip flop. You better pray you are in a different group Boy! :whistling:

haha! Buy a raffle ticket. You might get a hot lap :P

haha! I've got one of those, you know it actually turned out to be cheaper to have one than be single and hit the pub every other night :P... plus i love her, of course :ph34r:

Anyway sure thing. basically i need the upper surface area of your wing... so length times width. and a couple of good photos so i can approximate what shape the wing is... really what needs doing, to be accurate, is to measure the chord length, nose radius, maximum thickness, camber of the curve etc. etc., then you can work out exactly what wing shape you have and use the proper lift coefficients.

but approximating is so much easier =P

im feeling a bit zombified at the moment, just finished a 128hr 10 day week. but thats what i can remember at the moment.

cheers, Rowdy.

p.s. Roy be nice!

I'll measure stuff at some point and send it to you.

out of interest, what size rear sway bars are you guys using?

My sway bar setup is Roy's old setup. It's quite unusual and I've had suspension people look at me wierd because of it haha. 27mm front! and 24mm rear. perhaps having very stiff front bar makes the car less oversteery and more neutral through long corners. That's where my car makes up a lot of time. Also is the most fun part of driving round a track :)

Russ - how are you find the G4 356's with he standard rears?

They're great. I love them. I would like to get a bias adjuster so I can make the rears work more but it's very settled at the moment.

Well this weekend was the first time I have driven it with a proper wheel alignment and the ARC swaybars and I am pretty confident in saying the car is slower with the ARC bars.

LOL, if you have any plans of binning yours then let me know. I also have the std Whiteline sizes, but I think I will just go custom again and copy the ones you are running

    • It is a kunfine Android screen . Does anyone know the wirering diagram of the fuga ??
    • just an update to this, poor man pays twice  Tried sanding down the pulleys but it didnt do the trick. Chucked another second hand alternator in the na car which I got for free off my mate and its fixed the squelling. Must have been unlucky with the bearings.    As for my turbo car, I managed to pick up a cwc rb alternator conversion bracket + LS alternator for 250 off marketplace, looked to be in really good nick. Installed it , started the car and its not charging the battery.... ( Im not good with auto elec stuff so im not sure if this was all I needed to do but I verified such by using a multimeter on the battery when the engine was running and I was only getting 12.2v )   I had to modify the earth strap for the new LS alternator , factory earth strap was a 10mm bolt which did not fit the bolt on the LS alternator which was double the size so I cut it off , went to repco bought some ring terminals that fit, crimped it onto the old earth strap and bolted it up to the alternator , started the car and same issue. Ran like shit and was reading 12.2 at the battery.  For a "plug and play" advertised kit thats not very plug and play but alas.  My question is , am I missing something ? Ive been reading that some people recommend upgrading the stock 80 amp alternator fuse to a 140 amp but I dont see how that would stop the alternator charging especially at idle not under load.  Regardless ive pulled it out and am going to get it bench tested by an auto elec tomorrow but it would be handy to know if ive missed something silly or have done something wrong.   
    • My wild guess is that you have popped off an intake pipe....check all of the hoses between the turbo and the throttle for splits or loose clamps.
    • Awesome, thanks for sharing!
    • To provide more specific help, more information is needed. What Android screen? What is its wiring diagram? Does the car's wiring have power at any required BAT and ACC wires, and is the loom's earth good?
