you could say he's bending over backwards for you on this job.....

He sure is Baron, and many other guys are working overtime to make this happen. so much to do to get this thing ready in time. I fear time for testing is going to be minimal.

whilst acknowledging the work everyone is doing I would like to give a plug to Scott Beeton, he has an MSc in Aerodynamics, Bach in mechanical engineering, experience with the Williams F1 team and other motorsport applications and has recently started his own Aero consultancy. He is working hard running various aero configurations in CFD for the build. Thanks Scott!

This is something I really hope you share with us!!

Would be really interesting to see what they come up with and the reasoning behind such designs.

Certainly would love to hear what rules Scotts applying to the mesh when getting the basic flow and then what control equaeven just a simplified explanation of which one he uses for different areas.

Sounds like somebody SAU should try to arrange as a special speaker at a members meeting ;)

Why bother with a roll cage at all ?

If you roll this baby, do you really want to live afterwards?

I wouldn't.

Very much looking forward to the completion and seeing it in action.

This car will be one of a kind...

There's other benefits of a cage too bro!

higher structural rigidity = more predictable handling + more responsive steering etc..

I'm really looking forward to seeing this completed. Do you have any power figures in mind? Also, i would pay money just to sit in this car. Seriously i would.

thanks!

I want to sit in it first though, seriously i am going through withdrawal currently

hoping for around 800awhp

looks beautiful mark, getting very exciting now!

thanks Drew. yeah very exciting to see it come together

the only piece we are leaving as stock is the rear fenders, are you going carbon widebody rear also or is it still secret squirrel?

cant wait to get both of our cars out on the track at QR!

    • Has equal chance of cleaning an AFM and f**king an AFM. I think you can work out what happened. When the Hitachi ECU sees the AFM die and goes into the associated limp mode, then it will start and run just fine, because it ignores the AFM and just runs on idle maps that will do what it needs to get it going. But there is no proper load signal, so that's about all it can do. My suggestion? If you don't want to go full aftermaket ECU, then get some R35 GTR AFM cards and some housings to put them in, in the stock location, and Nistune the ECU. Better to do a good upgrade than just replace shitty 40 year old tech with the same 40 year old tech.
    • So my car was recently having trouble starting on initial crank, I would need to feather the gas for it to start up but besides that it would start and run fine. So I clicked the idle air control valve (with throttle body cleaner) and cleaned the MAF sensors (with MAF cleaner). The start up issue was fixed and now the car turns over without the assist of the throttle, but the car is in limp mode and wont rev past 2.5k RPM. From what I understand the IACV would not put the car in limp mode, so I am to believe it is the MAF sensors, but it was running fine before and now I cant get it out of limp mode. I cleaned the MAF made sure the o rings were seated properly. Made sure the cables were plugged in properly, the cables also both read the same voltage. Does anybody know why this is or what could be causing this or how to get it out of limp mode?
    • Ooo I might actually come and bring the kids, however will leave the shit box home and take the daily
    • Thanks. Yeah I realised that there's no way I'd be able to cover the holes with the filler, it would just fall through. Thanks again @GTSBoy!
    • That was the reason I asked. If you were going to be fully bodge spec, then that type of filler is the extreme bodge way to fill a large gap. But seeing as you're going to use glass sheet, I would only use that fibre reinforced filler if there are places that need a "bit more" after you've finished laying in the sheet. Which, ideally, you wouldn't. You might use a blob of it underneath the sheet, if you need to provide some support from under to keep the level of your sheet repair up as high as it needs to be, to minimise the amount of filler you need on top. Even though you're going bodge spec here, using glass instead of metal, the same rules apply wrt not having half inch deep filler on the top of the repair. Thick filler always ends up shitting the bed earlier than thin filler.
