I bought it to make molds direct from a cad file, skipping the cnc master step and costs. Or, you can print a plug mold outta water/solvent soluble material, make the part over the outside (like an air intake tube) then flush away the plug material. Jim |

IL15 starts testing
The new indy lights car is draft designed and the model is in the wind tunnel for testing. Everything is printed in miniature scale on an SLA printer (except for front and rear wings which are alum) The wheels are machined from alum and the 'tires' are actually carbon fiber with anti-skid painted on for tread.

What an awesome job to have! Car looks good but the nose looks like it's creeping upwards - hope they don't start to look like F1 cars of the last couple/few years.

The full motion race car similar being built in our facility took her first steps this past weekend. Getting calibrated over the next 3 weeks – then it gets certified - and then it’s open for business just in time for the month of May here in Speedway Indiana ! There are 2 in Italy. This is one wicked car game ! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t3RKttQCaHU https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVgi0XUlTYI Jim |

The nose won't get any higher. The design is setup to drive the front of the vehicle downward when it contacts other vehicles. They get airborne far too often as it is. Jim |

That simulator is a-w-e-s-o-m-e! A dozen of those would make the ultimate car guy game room. |

Motor
Engine is a 2.0 four cyl built by AER. It this series its set to 450 hp with a Push-To-Pass adding 50 additional hp. The factory guys here doing the install and testing said they have run it reliably at 800 hp. She’s tiny and sounds great !

thats some cool stuff.....what is the proper name for the "sway" control components?
|
Not bad Jim.... That all ya got?
LOL Just wow! |
Anti-Roll Bar Adjuster lever in driver compartment cable actuates the ARB Blade attached to tub sidewalls. Rotating the blade changes the bending ability of the blade. The blade is in the center of the ARB Tree and the bottom of the tree is attached to the bulkhead. The Tree is what you see sticking up thru the access opening and connects to the damper rockers.

This is a sexy little beast Greg - You need to get one !!!! :G-Dub: |
Jim - Merry Christmas and thanks for taking the time to post such a special little treat. I simply love that level of fabrication and performance. :thumbsup:
|
IDK how I've missed this thread for so long!? But it's a whole new level of awesome!
|
awesome update even fi it's not the porsche, Jim. Thanks for giving us the behind the scenes look.
|

thanks for the blade info. I knew it was a torsion type but wasn't sure on the proper terminology. I assume the ARB blade comes in different resistance ratings. |
Glad to give you guys some carbon fiber eye candy for Christmas ! Hope it provides some inspiration for your projects in the New Year !
No project creep on the Porsche, but I continue to purchase parts and shop tools ! :) It is kinda nice to get paid to build cool stuff - verses me having to spend all my money ! And I don't have to get the customers, worry about making payroll, paying 40 kinds of taxes, and all that other stuff.... So I definitely have the best part of the deal ! Basic price just in case Greg needs to buy a couple: Car with both speedway and road course configuration, bell housing and trans 235k Engine lease for the season 90k Wheels 2500 Tires 1850/set Brakes 6k Data pkg 21k Damper pkg 11.5 Clutch 3k Air shifter pkg 8500 2 cars for Greg to run a season should be somewhere between 1.6 and 1.8 cool mil. :goggles: |

Dallara offers 3 different rate bars in the parts manual that teams can buy. |

When Charley gets one - I will too! LOL |
More of the Porsche, less of the indy cars :relax:

Not quite as sexy as the inboard setup, but I saw this on a Trans Am car and it uses the same "blade" technology and is adjustable from the drivers seat. This is more the traditional sway bar setup like most of us use on our cars. Its set full stiff in this picture. I was only mounted on one side of the bar, the other was a solid arm.
