Can I ask what front spring rate you're running, and also how it fairs for street/road course?

James OLC 11-17-2012 08:00 PM

We've been running between 650 and 700 for the last couple of years but will be revisiting that again when we test next month. We are ok on the track (big and small) but can be better.

How do you find that spring rate range for street driving?

It’s been a while since I updated our progress over at Best of Show Dick and the crew have made some great progress and we’re getting close to being back together.

The hood has come out perfectly and definitely exceeds my expectations…

It will definitely move some air…

The rear wing is almost in its final position now with just a little bit of a tweak left on the upright angle. Pictures don’t really do it justice but I think that when everything comes together it will look perfectly at home.

Well… at least as at home as a six foot wide dynamic rear wing can look on anything…

We wrapped up the final basis of the lower valence in December

Lots of room for the front tires

With the foundation in place we moved to some air intakes – two for the brakes and two for the airbox

In addition to the air intakes we worked on isolating the air intake…

And with that done we ran some new plumbing from Spectre for the custom air box that we’ve built in the base of the lower valence

And with that done we’ve moved to some final tweaks on the leading edge of the wheel wells

Next up will be the inner fenders and some additional ventilation to keep the air moving… clocks ticking but the wait should be worth it…

Jesus. Serious bidness here. That spoiler looks right at home.

Its coming together nice. Its amazing the stuff that wing can do. Very nice James.

My first thought when I looked your car over in October was you running One Lap and running into some major rain. I have to wonder if any issues will result from the huge nostrils on your hood. :D Specifically, belt wear and failure. An extra belt or two in reserve isn't a big deal unless it takes you out of an event.
