My Cordoba Coupe Trackday Car Project

[F2 Stu]

Cheers daddy, yeah it certainly is bout time I finished it!

Gotta get Drue to powder it over when I'm not getting him to do other things

 

[Feel]

Yeah, I forgot to say that the rear beam looked really tidy. Did you build the turrets too?

 

[F2 Stu]

yeah, made up from 3mm sheet, tubeing is CDS.

Very nice Stu, they look very LCR friendly

Darren, I think these ones would be too high/steep and angle for the LCR splitter.
This will hit the ramps before the tyres hit the ramps and elevate the car up to clear the splitter.
I would need a very gradual ramp, so these would end up very long.

And you know this how?

whats the distance between the splitter and the ground then

I'm not slagging off your design, sorry if you thought this.

Would be approx 4", but it's not just the height that causes the problem, it's the distance between the splitter and the wheel

I have tried to use a ramp when my car was at standard ride height and from the looks of your ramps the ones I used were at a shallower angle and it was no good for my car.

Perhaps I could be wrong.

 

[F2 Stu]

No probs dude,

The overall height of the ramp is around 65mm and the ramp angle is somwhere between 10-15 degre's - remember the idea is to be able to elevate a lowered car enough to get a halfords type jack underneath not to get it off ground so you can walk around underneath it

so if the splitter ground clearence is no less than 75mm (3") it wont be a prob, if it is I can change it if I'm asked nicely

 

[ArosaRacer]

They look spot on for my kind of car Stu

 

[DPJ]

Loving the rear beam rods, Stu.

Your ramps are rather neater than mine....... (shown on their sides)

 

[jenk]

Rear beam looks sweet, proper track jobbie. Would be a shame not to fit it, I'll take the rear ARB off ya

Would you have to loose the back box to get it on?

Don't you fancy making some stub axle spacers while you have something to measure from

[andyj]

Nice bit of home-bred engineering there Stu

As m0rk has said, the triangulated rear-beam is by far the best item

 

[H_man]

Stu !!!! I love this car !!!! Miss doing all this stuff

 

[crezz]

hows the wide track coming on?

 

[F2 Stu]

Got all the parts needed mechanically wise just need to finalise the surrounding bodywork. I was hoping to start this in march but engine gremlins have put that back somwhat.

 

[crezz]

sourced the wings?

 

[F2 Stu]

I have some wings suitable, yes

 

[crezz]

hhhmmmm, self modded ones? not like your bonnet?

 

[F2 Stu]

My bonnet is class if it were out of mad max,

All will be revealed in time

 

[crezz]

haha, you tease!
