My Rx7 S8 Track Car Build
WAGON_BOY replied to WAGON_BOY's topic in Members Cars, Project Overhauls & Restorations
the brakes used to get cooling from this area (stock, but I don't have any of the wheel liners or ducting as it didn't fit with wide guards) but I have since blocked them off since adding the defuser with a lip that clips to the front bar. most race cars/time attack cars use this method of drawing air from under the car instead. you want as little air coming in from the front bar as possible i shouldn't even have the oil cooler ducted like this but hay i'm going to mitigate this problem by venting the guards and that's why these guards are also good as they remove air from out of the wheel well too. its quite interesting how Mazda ducted the oil coolers up and over the wheel and out the vent in the guard -

this is true, I could only imagine having 300kw and then putting a rollcage in and putting it into the wall. the G-Force difference is crazy!!! starting to get used to it now. the main thing is im developing the car and learning to drive it and i think there is so much to be had by learning the chassis once im happy ill start doing engine mods but even then im going to start slow from 190kw to 240 then 300 and 350. this car proves you dont need power to go fast and besides the more power you have the more likely you are going to break something. I used alupanel, you can get it from a signwriter. its a thin layer of alloy with a composite in the middle. -

That's cos its factory tune no engine mod's yet HAHA besides its only 0.17 slower and I didn't want to break the front defuser I reckon there is another 2 seconds out of this stock setup (engine wise) -

each lap within a second of their nominated time gets a point, from there i guess its a bit more technical as faster cars would do more laps as slower cars
