Just a teaser. We'll post some on track footage in a little while. Currently the car is in pieces yet again getting ready for some upcoming events. We'll post some pictures later this week!

We decided to get a couple of new toys for the shop as we are doing all custom in-house fabrication for our roll cage and exhaust!

Excellent thread, I truly admire the performance orientated approach The sound is epic!
Does the front strut brace need to be removed for the engine mods? Any idea how much downforce is being produced from the front splitter and rear wing? |

Our cage build is coming along nicely, and the majority of tubes have been cut, bent, fitted and tack welded in place. The only major parts left are the door bars and a few cross braces, and we should have those fabricated shortly. After that it's just final welding and the car will be off to have the interior and cage painted. I'll try to get some pics this evening.
Support didn't mention that we custom fabricated the rolling stainless steel stand for the tube bender that's in the pics above. It's not the biggest thing in the world but I think it's pretty cool. Quote:
The original stroker setup used a factory airbox and was functionally identical to a stock motor, so the braces fit fine. When we built the velocity stack setup with the foam filters, we did have to remove the braces. We've been considering perhaps making a custom strut bar setup to stiffen things a bit further, but with the cage the car should already be exceptionally rigid. I don't have exact downforce numbers available at the moment, but our staff engineer and those at APR were in agreement that the new splitter is about optimal for the car. Some pretty big things are in store for the rear aero as well; the recent photos of the rear of the car might provide a bit of a hint of what's coming. We should be doing some CFD modelling down the line to get real numbers. Last edited by Max@RWE; 10-25-2014 at 06:33 PM.. |

Strut bars have been constantly proven to do absolutely nothing for chassis stiffening. More just for looks. I'm looking into a similar ITG filter setup but was wondering which base you used. PM me if you'd rather not list it here. Thanks. |

[QUOTE=Support@RaceWerkz;16946979]Cage has been painted!!
QUOTE] Car looks sick. Too bad you don't respond to questions re: the build. Myself and others have commented on the ITG setup inquiring what base plates you're running but you never respond either here or on IG. I also noted that I would email you if you don't want to be specific here but still no response? |
