I don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight knowing the hidden seat mount looks crude.....😆. Honestly, everything you gents produce is artwork. 👍👍🍺🍺

You make a good point about the concept of spending considerable amounts of time (and money) on trying to make it look like it hasn't been modified too heavily. Makes good sense to me, but it probably does confuse people who prefer the Max Power shapes 🙂 Love that clip on track at the start of the video. It looks so dreamy to drive!

Totally get spent loads of time and effort to make something look stock, making something look modified is easy as only the creator knows if it turned out like the vision in their heads, making it look stock is another league as everyone knows what a stock one looks like and can tell if you achieved it. Got to say I really enjoy you builds to two reasons; your cars make sense to me, I can understand what you’re trying to accomplish with each of them L and also you come across as relatable and you keep me believing that I could make something similar if I wanted. Keep up the good work

So good

Love the meticulous attention to every detail as always. So true, that even mm's and degrees make the different to fit, ability to be comfortable and safe. Its all worth it in the long run over half assing it and coming back time and time and time again. Not that half assing isn't also fun and sometimes necessary LMAO. Oh and can i have the old m3 intake LMAO

Surely that rear decklid can be made more efficient. Nothing really stops doing that better, also the weight is very high up. Make the underside subtly like working wing and front a slightly more rounder. Then it is actual aero and not just a drag penalty. Hollow core carbon, through bladder molding, soluble print or any other of the many ways of doing this. Surely wont weight almost anything. Easily doable in region of 500 grams and with the end flap maybe 650grams. (not counting fasteners, paint nor lacquer, just pure weight in ready carbon composite)

I have a single skin carbon version on the shelf. The problem is the spoiler needs to mount to it and it sees some insane forces at speed.

@eedesign878

Жыл бұрын

@@driftworks So is it just plastic skinned with 1 layer of carbon or 1 layer carbon with absolute void inside? IF its former, it is useless as it is visual carbon and just as heavy. If its latter... You could scuff up (propably right english word) the existing carbon surface, then keep ends open so that it keeps normal atmospheric pressure inside. Then overlay several layers of carbon on top of the existing shape and vacuum them to that single layer. Only worry is collapsing under pressure and only 1 layer is really not much to be airtight for vacuum either. . What might be better option is to 3d scan your current for measurements, then make a 3d model (with wingprofile and metalmounting points for the extension), print it as hollow as possible, and then put 4-5 layers of carbon on top. You need to put screws on the mounting threads to avoid epoxy going into threads. I am located in Finland, but you have great carbon companies in the uk. I would maybe call easycomposites and ask for ”could you just”. They might be interested into collab. I can help with Fusion 360 designing any 3d printables, but since it is my work I have to get paid.

@eedesign878

Жыл бұрын

To add speculation to my last message... could the extension be integral part of the main wing? You would not need any metal hardware inbetween then but you lose also adjustability. Unless the whole main wing is also adjustable on attack. Anyway I am sceptic of how well the extension actually works. Angle is so steep for single level wing without endplates and without vortex generators that there will be almost certainly flow separation and turbulence and loss of downforce. Drag it does surely. But BMW had windtunnel back then, so what do I know, just speculation.

Whats that blue called mate its bloody trick!

It's an amazing and beautiful car. Unfortunately the massive engine throws the car off the original balance to the heavier front end. Resulting in lesser traction in the dynamically lightened rear end. Hopefully the additional extention to the wing is enough. I would make a bigger wing in the back along the cues of F40 or Mercedes Evo 2. Stylistically it would make a lot of sense and appeal to the era period.
