    2-piece Floating rotor set-up design

    Hi everybody, I am working on designing a 2-piece floating set-up for a road car (that will also see some track time). I understand the fundamentals of the floating rotor design. I have the rotor material (G3000 Grey C.I) I have the Hat material (6061 Alu) I have seen rotor temperatures on a...

    Absorption mufflers - fine tuning

    Hi everybody, I am working on an exhaust project to release for a popular turbocharged hatch platform. I am trying to work around the constraints that have been placed (I took over this project from someone else who has since left) Constraints - the system right now consists of 3" piping from...

    Spring rate tester: Gauge?

    Hi guys, We've got an extra spring rate tester here that is not being used. I'm trying to bring it back to life just for fun (on a budget) I'm buying a new bottle jack, and want to purchase a new high pressure hydraulic gauge as well. Any recomendations? Accuracy is important Thank you,

    ARB contribution to wheel rate?

    Hi guys, Long time reader, first time poster. I understand you need the spring rate and motion ratio of the roll bar, but mathematically, how do you include this value into your overall wheel rate? This has been bugging me for a while now. Thanks
