true, but do you guys know how to place them "aerodynamically" correct? i sure as hell don't haha

 

its just like a sticker...eyeball it and stick it on.....

 

haha, but then you coul dhave more downforce on one side, and that could be disasterous abouve 160.

 

its something that "should" be tested in a wind tunnel...

 

watevers......just blow on the bitches.....you should be straigt

 

should, and i don't have mto much faith in that tape holding them on while providing downforce at 160mph, haha.

 

i thought those things were held by rivets

 

haha, you're the one that said sticker.

 

i did huh.....man im not even here rite now...well at least mentally.....

 

it's lunchtime. go eat.

 

i know huh...let me make myself a samich real quick

 

if i use canards i'll have to brace those things to the subframe some how.

just use a measurement so that they are in exactly the same spot on both sides. it's gotta be really close though.

 

Yeah these cars get real scary @170mph lol. I hit 172 (according to my hpt log) and that was kinda terrifying. I let off at that point since the road really wasn't that smooth.

 

mine actually stays pretty glued at 160, i haven't taken it much faster so idk how it will react at a higher speed yet. but i do have the benefit of properly banked turns and extremely smooth roads with the autobahn. my old golf vr6 would roll at 265kph all day long on the autobahn and feel very stable.

 

yeah I was on an old busted ass highway out east.... rolling roads and off camber turns... not the best place, but the only stretch long enough and empty enough to give it a try. I cruise at 120-130mph usually in the morning heading to the ccity.

 

damn i don't even do that on my motorcyle. i think the road will make all the difference though. i think my car should be in in a couple of weeks so i will be able to tell everyone how it handles at speed on a good road.

 

They just repaved my route... I go in at 4:30 am usually so I'm the only one on the road.

 

it's always nice to have an open road to yourself. when i lived in los angeles i almost never could find a place to really open it up.

 

any news here?

 

not really, got the car fully tuned, but everytime i take it on the autobahn it ***** the flange studs out, so i got new gaskets and studs and some loctite, hopefully that fixes the problem. i think it has a lot to do with the solid mounts i run and all the vibration.

 

just gotta retighten them every once in a while. I keep losing the ones on the flange the head. well only 2 keep coming off

 

ARP Studs with some blue loctite should be good to go

 

thats what i keep doing, but everytime i lose those studs, i end up with an exhaust leak right at the turbine, and it's not helping my spool times at all.

i just got some studs from atp, but send me some blue loctite, that **** is like $80 bucks over here!

 

i want pics.

 

pics of what you've seen my car?
