drowz Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Oooh, what are those wheels? I really dig 'em! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fhptom Posted April 23, 2008 Share Posted April 23, 2008 Looks good, especially the flares. But somebody stole your motor and dropped some type of imposter motor in there........ Cannot wait until the fall of the year to do a couple of track events. Summer is just too hot if it is just for fun. Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MoNkEyT88 Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 How did you go about making the gusseting in between the A pillar and the roll cage? also -- <--- Jealous.. <-- also a Suby owner. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zr240 Posted April 28, 2008 Author Share Posted April 28, 2008 Thanks guys. always nice to get good feedback The gusets between the a piler are just flat steel with holesaw holes all the way up it The wheels are from a local company in Aus called performance wheels. They are a copy of the globe wheels and are 16 x 10. Ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

240hoke Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I love what you did with the flares and front airdam everything really blends well and looks sweet!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMortensen Posted April 28, 2008 Share Posted April 28, 2008 I love what you did with the flares and front airdam everything really blends well and looks sweet!! Agreed. Nice job on the front end. Can't really see if you sealed the air dam to the rad support, but that would be a good idea. Did you read the wind tunnel test info? Keep the pics coming! Some of us need a little inspiring...

zr240 Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 Thanks again The spoiler is removable and the original front valance is under it. I will definatly seal the area between the spoiler and rad support( havent done it yet) I read a little of the aero section and I think the main info I got was the sealing of that section. Its been 4 yrs so far so its really great to have it getting closer to being ready to test Ash Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AK-Z Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 I have to agree. I thought that having such blocky flares would make it look weird, but it seems to work. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MoNkEyT88 Posted April 29, 2008 Share Posted April 29, 2008 How did you go about making the fiberglass (I assume) molds. I'm going to be building up the fenders with foam on my project car, and then sanding them down to shape, spraying gel coat, and making a mold. If everything goes well with the mold, I'll make one out of fiberglass and if it turns out well, one out of carbon fiber. Then I'll cut off the steel fender in the offending area, and bam.. carbon fiber 1/4 panels. I need a nice new vacuum pump for infusion though.

zr240 Posted April 29, 2008 Author Share Posted April 29, 2008 The flairs are actually off an old 911 porsche. My Dad had them in the back of the shed and I tried them on and with a little modding they fitted up ok So I havent actually got molds but probably will make some.
