I'm trying to figure that out to.. NFL maybe?

Duke

The latest edition of your car Pat will be something else for sure!
It has me beat on many areas so don't play the underdog

ehall

Bought a new house. Trying to get settled and set up my shop. Haven't had time for cars. I NEED to make time for my car, but I just haven't had it.

Anyway, yeah 100 days! I'm already planning my draft board. Even if CPR doesn't want to run it, I'll run it. Either way, I'm going to kick your *** this year!
Check out my new sig!

ehall

Yep... and the Patriots still suck!

Cyberpunky

haha love it !
100 days till I get to kick Elliot's punk a$$ at fantasy football ....again
good to see the trash talking has already started These yanks can get mighty pissed when an upstart aussie walks in and hands them their a$$ on a platter at their own game
Just glad I'm not canadian or they probably would have hunted me down already(and I'd be canadian) lol

Cyberpunky

What shop Elliot ? and where did you move too ?
congrats on the new house

I have MANY friends in the Australian SAS. Winning can still cost you a Canadian life!

Just moved a few miles down the road. The "shop" is the one I'm putting together in my garage. I've never had benefit of my own garage before. Trying to figure out where to put things and what to do about air tools, etc.....OH! and AIR CONDITIONING! This is Florida!

ehall

p.s. The Patriots STILL SUCK!

Cyberpunky

A/C in a shed ??? Nice. Would kill for a garage preferably including a hoist.

Patrick there are few more than just 4 ppl following the journey of your pride and joy, so cmon and share, even if is just a little hint of what you are doing.




oh yeah almost forgot
PATRIOTS RULE !!!

ehall

Patriots ALWAYS SUCK! and no, not a shed, but my attached garage. It just doesn't have AC, so it's going in.


also Patriots SUCK!

Hi All

It's been sometime since I've made a post in here. Sometime since April 2012 that I had that crash which at the time and for ages afterwards really got under my skin for a number of reasons. So now we have GO952 v.4

Well it's only GO952 in name as the car is clearly not a road registered vehicle anymore. Just to touch briefly on the accident as it ties in with the current version, apart from any driver faults, fluids on track, bumps, lack of downforce...whatever...the main reason was that we ran out of suspension travel in the rear. The inside rear wheel was lifting off the ground and the car was super twitchy. So we knew that we needed to get the car lowered and for that to happen we needed more wheel/tyre clearance. So I went through quite a long process of talking to Mike from I.F.C. who produced the new front 1/4 panels. This not only allows us to lower the front of the car (which obviously gives us more rear travel as we can now drop the rear also) but allows heat and pressure to escape through the top and rear of the panel. Win on all levels.
I also wound up using some rear GT Racing fenders which are 2" wider than stock. So we have tons of room for most size rubber. To add, we have added a bump steer kit which has helped us a lot with the front geometry. Also we have the 95ONE rear T-bar delete bracket (2" x 3" version!) for the rear which also affords us a better roll centre with the raised pickup points...well that's the theory.

So much has changed in this car even since last year. Perhaps a list might be in order but it's going to make this first new post too long. I think a few pics and video might do for now. Remember this car has been built for Time Attack. So it's all about downforce. We are off to the track on Tuesday for the 1st shakedown. It will be a chance for us to start sorting through the new chassis changes, aero, springs and new horsepower/torque. Ahh, yes, I didn't mention that we finally have the 3.1L 8v motor in the car now. We've only just done the first tune and while they're hitting a brick wall at about 6000rpm, the power to weight is going to be quite sufficient for a rusty driver. With a bit of luck we will have a new intake on the car before the event in mid October. We feel that the stock intake is really holding the head/cam/headers/turbo back. To think that we haven't even tapped the sweet spot in this motor yet is pretty cool. From 6000rpm to 7500rpm this motor will shine. All in all 505whp at 22psi isn't to shabby for a starting point. I don't have the tq or ign charts yet. Once I do, I'll show them too.

Anyway, I hope some of you guys enjoy it in it's latest version.

That's a hot piece of **** right there.

Did you have to put mesh in the panel vents? How did you work out the canard angles? Best guess?

Crazy Eddie

That is some crazy **** there !!!
I dont think those dive planes are big enough
That is really insane !!
Good luck bud !!!

Thanks Andrew. Where do you mean, in the back of the open front guards?
Oh, and yes on the Canards. Part of it is for aero and the other part is for strength. Bit of a combo. In my mind it is a starting point. Aero is as much if not more of a Black Art as suspension/chassis setup.
Were just starting off.
