Oh yea, nothing but the very best here
In theory, if you had more mathematical inclination that I do, and were fairly brainy (I'm looking at RobinJI here), it would be possible to rig up a series of map sensors at the base of the of the air dam, and using the pressure variation mesuresed, and the area of the splitter, you could come up with some sort of theoretical figure for the front end down force created.
this wouldn't take into account how the splitter effects airflow over and under the whole car though, and would be far more effort than I'll ever bother with!
Without masses of money and access to a wind tunnel, all you can do it mimic as closely as possible, those that are known to work on the likes of BTCC and such things, and then just drive the thing to get a feel for it.
it's very safe to say the aero stuff really had changed the car dramatically though, my confidence in it, and the lap times are vastly improved, and everyone comments on just how stable and planted it looks on track too
I'd love to be in the motor when you slam those bad boys on as you're around the 1100kgs IIRC!?
You will be out braking may exotic vehicles I reckon if/when you come across them
Sorry - I have to admit I haven't read the full 137 pages (well not yet)- but I'm guesstimating you have the 300mm set up (at the least) at the rear also to compliment the fronts?
but i don't think i'd ever go as big as 300
I mean you already passed the splitter scuffers test on FB
I am genuinely quiet surprised you are on a standard rear S3 set up tbh - but if it works for you then no need to change/upgrade just yet.....have you had a corner weighting session done on the car before out of interest?
I don't think I've ever posted it on splitter scuffers myself! Has someone else? Eek. That lot are evil.
The stock 256 rears seem to be doing just fine most of the fwd race cars you see retain the stock rears as they do so little
It was corners weighted a while ago, but really needs don't again, but I'm reluctant to do it when I keep changing things so regularly!
Il dig out the pic, but to give you an idea it was ~190kgs on the rears and ~370kgs on the fronts, obviously with some deviation, I think I had 49.9 on the diagonal cross.
On another note..... ABS. has anyone ever looked into removing it completely on a car of this nature?
Apparently, if the control module goes on to fail fully you'll also get the handbrake light comming on, and lose all rear brake bias control. which would lead to the rears locking up before the fronts.
hopefully a module will sort it. if not, we'll see!
Driving with the ABS light on makes me go insane though. can't deal with unwelcome lights!
When does project ground effect start?
Looks like things have moved on a bit since I was last here! Got a bit of reading to do to catch up. How are you Sir?
