Dear apardal
RESPECT!!! ![]() ![]() ![]() Your project is awesome!This is exactly what I had in mind to do as soon as I get a hachi!Or almost...I have some suggestions for you,and your car will be my dream car (every AE86 is my dream car, but never mind...) First, if you use it mostly as a race car, you should install a roll cage, or at least front and rear strut braces, to ingrease body's torsional stiffness.If you don't want to lose all the space the roll cage needs, you should try a tubular spaceframe put under your cars underbody... Second, I think it's critical to update your brake calipers with something bigger (etc brake calipers from RX7-II (FC) which cost a little) I think your car has too much roll with it's current suspension...I would change the suspension with an aftermarket adjustable coilover set.The cost is high, but you can change your suspension's setup really easy, and test what different setups can offer you in time on a race track. Generally speaking my philosophy is to have your car as lightweight as possible...Have you considered of changing AE86's stock seats (which are really heavy) with racing buckets?They "handle" your body better at the corners and are lighter at the same time... Also think about replacing the standard battery with a lighter one (gel).You could save about 6kg.Another good but pretty expensive solution is to replace your stock hood, trunk and fenders with carbon fiber(expensive solution) or glass fiber ones (less expensive solution).You could save a lot of weight!!! About the engine now...I suggest that you should try a standalone ECU with a 4 throttle system.If you want to reduce noise, you could use an "exhaust throttle"(I don't know the exact term in English, but it's something like a diaphragm in your exhaust, which is basically free to close and open, controlled by electrical means, and it reduces the producted noise) Anyway, what I just told were my suggestions for my car...The car is yours and you do what you want, but I think I gave you some ideas! Keep up the good work! Greetings, Harry JapanPower UoP Racing website UoP Racing videos Racing, because football, basketball, tennis & golf only require ONE ball.... |
