boxkita Posted December 5, 2013 Share Posted December 5, 2013 it is certainly a distinctive looking wagon. I merged into traffic behind him, and heard the exhaust long before I saw it. The front end passed (with the strakes), I recognized it right away. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustinsonger Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 no. im gonna start plating the bottom of the car when it warms up a bit or get a few hours in a garage and start making the diffuser. after looking at everything under there im really just going to be trying to control flow out the back so i can get higher air speeds under the splitter up front. i need to get some track time in soon though damnit. when is your porsche stuff going out again?

boxkita Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 driver Skills at bremerton on jan 11. Work the day, run the road course until we close. Turn2lapping.com for actual lapping at the Ridge in Shelton. Audi is running at Evergreen on Feb 9. motorsportreg.com has the rest of the events for NW clubs.

dustinsonger Posted January 3, 2014 Author Share Posted January 3, 2014 so when you say work the day then lap... does that mean i dont need to register? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted January 3, 2014 Share Posted January 3, 2014 sorry, you have to register to work (insurance liability reasons). once you work the day (mostly standing around and resetting cones), you can do the road courses. Â To be fair, they are more of an extended autocross. And no timing. You can ride with other instructors and you can get them to ride with you. If you want to find out how useful your aero mods are, you can get enough speed that having increased downforce is beneficial. I have understeered off the track rather than lift. ;-)Â At worse, you come out and watch alot of people running thru a sea of cones for a free lunch and a couple of runs. At best, you come out and watch alot of people running thru a sea of cones for a free lunch, a bunch of runs, meet some people who will convince you to come to the next track event (Head of the Porsche club will be there - he was driving a Subaru STi when he hooked me on lapping).

dustinsonger Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 Not the prettiest stuff in the world but I had to get a version 1 going so I had some hands on with it before I start making more complicated stuff. http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Dustinz31/IMG_20140108_232325_645_zpsef06b4a2.jpg http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Dustinz31/IMG_20140108_232142_365_zpse3abc286.jpg http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Dustinz31/IMG_20140108_232123_000_zpsad59ef1c.jpg http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Dustinz31/IMG_20140108_215929_661_zps20a97f23.jpg http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Dustinz31/IMG_20140108_190920_073_zps18b50857.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 is that splitter really as angled as it looks? To what did you attach the front of the diffuser? Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsonger Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 The splitter is way way way to high of an aot but I can't fix that till I can resold my supports for it. The diffuser is attached to a piece of alluminium riveted to the spare tire well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsonger Posted January 9, 2014 Author Share Posted January 9, 2014 But its not quite as much as it seems. The sides of it flare up a bit Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted January 9, 2014 Share Posted January 9, 2014 PM JmP6889928 to get the details on how he solved the splitter to bumper skin space coverage. I think he used strips of ABS, but don't remember the exact details.

dustinsonger Posted February 26, 2014 Author Share Posted February 26, 2014 permanent im thinking. too much of a pain the way it is now to swap back and forth. also have to get to building a proper harness bar/ chassis brace Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
