    197 Aerodynamics (CFD analysis)

    superb work! are your downforce figures straight downforce? or is this lift reduction, would have thought it unusual the stock car would produce any downforce, although most cars don't have a working rear diffuser as standard lol

    Sprint Booster V3 Info + Review

    I've bought one to try, i've always found the throttle response on the clio a bit odd and there is a delay i dont like, its my first fly by wire throttle car i've owned. I've got raptors crank pulley to fit aswell. I'm hoping i will be able to tune it to be more how i'd like. I had a couple of...

    Zubans LY RS200

    fitted a powerflex torque mount, that's quite good isn't it! I felt like the stock mounts were way to soft, could be age? but its far better now with that mount alone. I have the upper gearbox mount and lower mount to fit, will leave the last engine mount stock. The interior is currently gutted...

    Zubans LY RS200

    Because the floor is fairly flat at the back and with uprated suspension its suprising what you can fit in there, I had a cement mixer in there at one point lol.

    Zubans LY RS200

    just before Christmas last year one of the o2 sensors packed it in, the car was due an mot early Jan so I decided to ignore it for most of winter and walked to work, I've now shifted the mot date so its not just after Christmas, and I can actually get to doing things. First job has been to...

    Zubans LY RS200

    Had a couple of issues, first was the front springs snapping, replaced with a pair from cobra. I cant help but think of curly fries when I look at these. Next I had the good fortune of defeating the odds and managing to get a tiny stone wedged between the radiator fan cowling and the radiator...

    Zubans LY RS200

    Bought this car late 2015. Its a FF cup, recaro's, yellow interior pack, already came with KW v3 Coilovers and Geo setup by Mark Fish. Since then its mostly been a van whilst the other half surprised me by moving into my house and wanting the garden done.... Thankfully Van duty is now over...

    Safety Devices rear roll cage fitting help

    Thanks, i think I have figured it out from looking at the images in your thread. It's kinda out of my hands now though, swmbo has decided that the harness's and cage should be fitted up by a proffesional, which i'm fine with so its going to get a local garage who build rally cars to do it all...

    Safety Devices rear roll cage fitting help

    Hi guys, I've received my safety devices cage from Mark Fish, its the rear RO20 one with the harness bar. Does anyone have any photos of the fitting process? i'm just not sure where the various smaller re-enforcing plates go etc.

    Buying team dynamics 1.2

    just realised i'm being a bit thick about this, what offset could i run on 7.5 wide rims, standard tyre size, do away with the spacers and keep things looking flush? 45, 48 and 50 are also options. 48 will keep things where they are?

    Buying team dynamics 1.2

    i'm hovering over the trigger on ordering a set of the pro race 1.2's in 17x7.5 et 53. Currently have speelines with 20mm spacers ( at least I think they are, have been on the car since i got it) should this be ok? anyone know best place to get them for price wise? wont need tyres as i'll...

    197 Aerodynamics (CFD analysis)

    do you have a small gap between the cup spoiler and the rear bodywork? be interested to know how much effect that gap has, and how you can change it to alter the wings effect. I played around with this a little and noticed it had some effect, it interested me because the potential to alter the...

    197 Aerodynamics (CFD analysis)

    I will need to go back over my setup and check, its been about a year since i did anything with it, and have since reorganised my lab setup, and managed to break my source ubuntu vm I set everything up on... but openfoam does seem to be good, but its not easy to use, and because my understanding...

    197 Aerodynamics (CFD analysis)

    from what I can find solidworks uses k-epsilon. Openfoam which i've been using is sst k-omega, its a deeply unfreindly peice of software to use, however it comes with a reasonable motorbike tutorial which i've taken and altered for the clio, it outputs the drag and coefficients aswell as the...

    197 Aerodynamics (CFD analysis)

    Be happy to share, however its really just something i've dabbled in, i'm an IT technical architect by trade, so have computation power, and computer skills, and I've been into 3d modeling for years, but aero and CFD is just an interest and my understanding of it is very basic. It is reassuring...
