dustinsonger Posted March 30, 2014 Author Share Posted March 30, 2014 you also have to remember that i dont run a super low rear because of the handling balance im looking for so getting the rears in spec isnt a big deal Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dustinsonger Posted April 6, 2014 Author Share Posted April 6, 2014 there is no point in a dyno chart right now. It was a diagnosic run, my boost was turned down and simply out of respect for the person who tuned my car blind, with no ability to data log whatsoever and for my car when, for all intensive purposes it was still stock. The af ratios were still good, i think more so a testament of the ecu's long term fuel trim abilities, but you could tell the timing was jumping around like crazy and the airflow corrections could not even begin to understand what was going on. Suffice it to say it was decent, far more to the wheels than stock crank power, but it has alot of room to grow and i wont put up a graph that, really, shouldn't have existed in the first place had it not been for my procrastination.

dustinsonger Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Haha dont worry man, honestly i like it when people contribute to this... i wish more people would, its mostly me and boxkita ranting back and forth, and like i said, the way its being built is ripe for ideas. Just not high cost ones haha. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boxkita Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 between the catfish & gator & blacklgt (think that's the right name), need to find a good front bumper skin that supports max aero, brake cooling ducts, cold air intake, and radiator cooling. blacklgt works with carbon fiber as part of his job, in addition to having access to a fab shop Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsonger Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 Started actualy working with fibreglass last night to try and repair the splitter had my little brother helping me with cleaning out the cuts http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Dustinz31/Outback%20build/IMG_20140727_173404_zpsb6f103c4.jpg got the top carbon layer removed http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Dustinz31/Outback%20build/IMG_20140727_175747_zps61ee9b68.jpg then started taking out the broken and shatter fibreglass layer http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Dustinz31/Outback%20build/IMG_20140727_203926_zpse6307f84.jpg http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Dustinz31/Outback%20build/IMG_20140727_210450_zps667d5da0.jpg then layed up some new fibreglass http://i150.photobucket.com/albums/s89/Dustinz31/Outback%20build/IMG_20140727_223441_zps09872d79.jpg Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boxkita Posted July 29, 2014 Share Posted July 29, 2014 are you sure that's fiberglass and not kevlar? Would have expected a kevlar layer as its more resistant to hits than fiberglass. Build my car Boxkita Track days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dustinsonger Posted July 29, 2014 Author Share Posted July 29, 2014 its fiberglass. almost definitely fiberglass. i believe its layered first with a frp then fibreglass then carbon fibre top sheet. at least thats what it looks like. but i was dremeling the eff out of that stuff and it seemed exactly like fibreglass. these things are only like 400 from apr, theres no way the would be using compliacted mixtures of carbon and kevlar in a splitter that cheap, as well as the fact that there would be zero advantage to it since its insanely strong as it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
