swings and things
hello people
Ive started racing my 57 oval after lots of work and at 210ks (131mph) my car feels very good due to the fact that i am running a real wing like a porsche and it hold the rear real nice and also pumps the air in to the motor helping cooling and hp. On the front i am running aero guards that were designed my my father witch cause 0 lift but a minimum down force inorder to not push down tomuch, they are lower at the from to keep the air out of the front of the wheels. We are just about finished building a fibreglass GT2 wing for the beetle that looks awsome and does the job of stabilaty and cooling with the ducks either side of the wing. Check this link to see my car with the porsche style wing and front aero guards (at bottom of page, its the blue bug) http://www.aussieveedubbers.com/foru...d=28873&page=3 alex

jimby,
seeing as everyone will have slightly different answers to those questions, maybe we could make that spreadsheet available to others (assuming it is not proprietary)? you could just attach in a post. not like i have a lot of time, but i would be interested in converting that to a HTML tool. frankly, i would like to do that for many tools (offset tool, gearing, etc). having an tool section with stuff like that would prove to be huge value to many on here. any programmers offering time to assist in conversions and development?
