I have no idea. Keep it up regardless. He should not be given a chance to fleece someone else.



I bet he is selling it with a bill of sale...

Yeah, the original ones were deleted. There is only one by him now with a link, posted 5 hours ago.

Yeah, they are quite tight about that, but it should not prevent the truth from coming out.

Well, it was only a matter of time...

CF3C, you simply don't get that amount of fixed cost investment at the club level when the same guy tows, owns, and drives the race car. As someone who straddles the club/pro (Rolex Series) divide,...

Last week, I sketched up a concept for the bodywork. Here is the silhouette of the body inserted into my suspension design file. More updates to come in the next week or so.

Baymont Inn and Suites 678 Walton Drive Plymouth, WI 53073 (920) 893-6781.

About six miles from the track. Certainly fits as a decent motel.

If you get them from a marine store, mention that they are blower fans. West Marine has some online for $30-35.

Or the first post ;)

IIRC, The Chassis Shop (www.chassisshop.com) sells them as well as the streamline tubing.

Tighten the nut behind the wheel. A fast driver in a slow car can beat a slow driver in a fast car.

That is one thing that I have learned so far: there are always trade-offs in design. It certain is a big challenge to design independent adjustability of the alignment (camber, castor, motion...

Currently, I am using parallel a-arms for this first few iterations and will move on from there as I perfect the geometry.

I have put thought into how to adjust the rod ends without changing toe....

PM sent. Thanks for the help!

Work was light today, so I was able work on the suspension design with a simple upright. Based on rough calculations, each arm should be around 20-21" in length. The design uses 1"x.120"wall tube and...

Over the last few months, I have had to shelve my FB project for plenty of reasons. Keeping an Alfa Romeo running and fixing an M3 for One Lap of America (coming out of 9 at Hallett)...overcoming a...

It was cold and damp Saturday morning, while Sunday was cool and clear. Just wait for those Texas summers!

Don't worry, I have not forgot about my current FB endeavors. Assorted tin-top projects have kept me away (wing design and motor rebuild for the Bimmer).

Last weekend, I worked tech at the Queen...

My maths are a bit off tonight, but in the model, the outside of the section width on each tire is constrained to a 70" distance. The final track number will come from there.

I have worked out some of the geometry on the front suspension. For now, rod ends are just floating inside the wheel, waiting to be connected by the upright. I am designing around an unequal length,...

I see. A normal post mounted brake is mounted in single-shear usually.

How is the radial mount an improvement over standard post mount or floating mount calipers? I tried to find a coherent answer through Google, but I did not have any success.

Anybody? :confused:

This afternoon, I was quite productive. I designed and modeled some motor mounts for the GSX-R1000 and the spindle for the center-lock rims. I began designing the upright.

That distance is just a placeholder for now. I needed a distance to separate the axle centerlines, and I have not decided on an actual wheelbase.

The new GCR is open on the computer whenever I am in SolidWorks.

I have reconsidered my design process. I am starting from square one more or less. Tonight, I laid out a "jig" to design my car on. Its dimensions are based on the min and max dimensions in the 2010...

I had not thought about the design like this. I just had an "eureka" moment. Can't wait to build all of the "dots" first.

Thanks for remembering. It's easier than digging through the GCR myself. ;)

Accepted. I will be using Fluent for my CFD analysis.

I see what you are referring to. I think that I will decrease the angle of the hoop from 180 degrees to a smaller angle that meet this...

I am a current member of the Team for Advanced Flow Simulation and Modeling at Rice University (http://www.tafsm.org/). Finding an CFD expert should not be an issue.





I assume this his what...

The hoop itself is not, running from the floor, through the bend and back down to the floor. I specifically designed it to be one piece.

In the simulation pictures, the purple arrows are the forces, and the green arrows are the fixtures.

I am running Solidworks with XP x64, but the computations are run on a server on my network....

I just hope nobody gets hurt at that top speed of 165.

The one in the picture is an unsuspended oval track car, according to the website.

They are mounted in single-shear as well.

Right turns only ^^^
Look at the offset in the front suspension arms.

I looked at the GCR while I was building it, but I will definitely go back and check it. Much better to fix it now while I am still working in pixels.

This was my first pass at building just a...

I know that many of you have been asking about my F1000 design, so I finally decided to start a thread for it. Right now, I have designed the frame on SolidWorks and performed simulated testing on...
