I usually find myself not too far from there. Shoot me a PM and let's get together some time.

I've seen a few over the years. Nothing new there, it's just a matter of whether the joint itself is worth a shit and how well the machine work was done. Good idea, execution tbd.

Right out of the gate, this sounds like damping, jerking the wheel, overloading or rapidly unloading a tire, a major toe issue, or a combination of those. Unless you are severely over-sprung, that bouncing sounds like a damping issue. Noticeable rebounding can be tuned out. If you aren't trail...

Just to clarify, an issue of freeway bouncing is going to be 95% in the damping and not in the spring rate. The other 5% will come from almost entirely negligible sources. I would advise against dropping rear toe in unnecessarily. Entry stability is #1 and rear toe in is absolutely a component...

I didn't type anything in any other comment that even looked like it may have said that. Yeah, I saw where you listed yet another car's break in procedure.

I brought up the Nismo JGTC program's break in procedure for their JGTC engines, not the Nissan Z. The gist of what I said was "here is what I know insofar as it pertains to the topic of break in." I know that specifically because I worked shoulder to shoulder with a guy that worked at NISMO...

Nismo used to break their JGTC engines in over the course of several days though not gently. My motocross race engines were "broken in" with 2 heat cycles and went straight to the dyno and I never had a failure. The NASCAR team I was on used to run the engines in with a heat cycle, then up...

Oh I've been down this road. The one's that are serious just want to point at what needs done when you show up and let you go to work.

I can say flat out that I have zero intention of making this something I sell. I MAY make a second one but that's going to be a BIG maybe. I've been a motorsports fab shop owner. Never again. I'll race on someone else's dime, build someone else's car, or I'll play with cool new toys (which is...

Just to follow up. The electronics engineer (let's call him Drewseph) I mentioned is sorting through packaging, weight, and a handful of other things to decide between fully electronically driven and electro-hydraulic. So far, this is what we have: Raspberry pi with a table base. Handful of...

The bottom 3 pictures elaborate on it: https://www.mulsannescorner.com/AcuraARX-01-4.html

We used them on the BMW prototypes and the Indy cars. I know the Cadillac LMDh uses the same design and I believe Porsche and Acura do as well, though I'm only sure about the Dallara chassis stuff. 4 of them on each end. One half turn lock for the left pair and one for the right pair. Two of us...

Shouldn't be an issue. Just need to know where to mount it first lol Best place I can imagine is the edges of the license plate box and go chassis mount. Hang it with clamping screws and half-turn receivers and you'll only have to drill 4x 3/4" holes. Make a set of aluminum plugs with paint...

I can fabricate anything aside from forming sheet metal. If all goes well, that'll change soon. I have a good friend in Indianapolis that spent ~20 years at Williams F1 before moving to the states. He was an aero engineer upstairs when I was at Rahal. He was on the Indy side while I was on the...

Well... What does it need then?

Just from an aero standpoint... You want the AoA at a given cross section to work with the general body lines in proximity to that cross section because they air generally follows that path. The more data, the less general this becomes. That dip seems like they want to compound off of the...

For sure. I'll shoot you a pm

A sway bar won't help anti-dive. I would follow through these in order: I'd start with a bump in low speed compression. Conversely, you can slow the rebound in the rear. One of these or a mix of both usually does the trick. I would entertain more ride height as well. It won't solve the total...

Lay the info out. There's always more to it. What's this whole "white paper theory" thing you keep on about? Random guy on the internet says don't trust the internet, then expects me to ignore 20 years of motorsports fabrication experience because he saw a few that didn't fail? I'm all ears.

I don't take any of what I advised from the internet. Professional motorsports fabrication has paid more of my bills than anything else that I've ever been involved with. On that note, "I seent it" isn't going to alter how I advise people on how to approach what it is that I do for a living. A...
