Another little update,
Got myself a toe link kit with a brace, I think because of the high levels of grip and downforce the car will experience having the brace will help stop some flex in the subframe, I do have another idea to remove any flex as per the 260 cup but thats for another time
Also there is alot of talk about my wing upright and how they will flex all over the place and give babys cancer if you stand to close to them so tonight I got around to bracing them up.
Now what I wanted to avoid is anymore drag on the car, the car will be pretty draggy anyway but adding more to no reason isnt clever, so ive done these braces as high as possible while not being in the direct air stream or risk them interacting with the air going to my wing.
I was going to use threaded bar but came up with a more lightweight solution from my carbon stock pile, 8mm unidirectional carbon tube, its very strong in compression and stretching so will take up all the potential flex my uprights had plus its very light, a 80cm long piece weighs 27g!
So there they are fitted
Hope this keeps the masses happy to share a trackday with me now.
Also fitted my harnesses properly now the drivers seat is very angled to get my head lower and I had to flip the harnesses around for them to come through the slots properly, after sitting in them I think im going to invest in a 5/6 point for myself as I dont feel I can get enough tension on the lap belts to stop the should ones pulling upwards
Now I have alot more room im going to go up to a 300mm from a 280mm wheel to allow me to see the clocks better.
