Terrybullwon's Racing S2 coupe

[terrybullwon]

New engine harness has been finished. I also took the chance at having a steering wheel controls made. Alittle more user friendly when your flat out

[terrybullwon]

Sounds great. So you are replacing the entire front end with a tube frame?
How will you overcome the driveshaft angles with the engine & box moved that far back?

Do you plan to go double wishbone now then?

Yup, full tube front end.

I dont know about double wishbone as my dampers are already pretty expensive, my guy was pretty happy with how the front is other than the poor strut angle.

I have hi misalignment CV joints i'll go as far as i can with those other than that its the nature of the beast to have the motor the wrong side of the front shafts

Looks serious!

Defently a few hours welding before it see's the Audi

I have ordered over 12 meters of tube, i hope to have alot of it done by this time next month.

Goal is to

:bolt on front engine cradle
:save 20kg
:fully adjustable geo
:air jacks
:Flat floor bolt on bolt off
:Aluminium crash structure
:ease of use must be very quick to tear down
:move engine rear ward by 60mm+


With Jays help i am sure this is going to be very trick.

Winter up grades has started.

Chassis V2

Wing has stayed the same I am on the hunt for something else which can be welded into the shell alittle closer to the rear axel. The old sub frame has gone I am afraid.

I am at Combe tomorrow if any one is local

Hi again, just wondering what you have done with your original rear subframe?

How much?? I guess you can't put a price on lightness, over 3kg a side is a great saving.

ah who needs a kidney!....

if its any consolation the GT3-RS 6 pot weighs 4kg....and thats with ceramic pistons...

James, those calipers look the dogs....

did you sort any gurneys out for that wing?

[terrybullwon]

Hi, sorry if you have answered this allready but did you get around to weighing the car? I'm just curious as to what it's weight now.

Jason

1100kg with

12lt of oil (only needs 6 )

20lt of fuel

Corner weights are really good now it's been set up

I have even removed another few kg's of sand from the shell after it was blasted it's every where!!

Rear sub frame and new water lines saved another 15kg

Proper brakes mate, they will make a huge difference even in just the weight saving!

[my2000apb]

How much??

or you could get a beater s2, or TWO

[terrybullwon]

no dust seals on the racing calipers so road use would be umm....involved

Yup. And getting them to working temperature on a road would be impossible
