Re: Derrick the Volvo!

Re: Derrick the Volvo!

Solidworks does basic stuff. We did have a topic on it at uni but it was taught very badly. We all kicked off and should be getting a good weeks training on ANSYS over the summer free of charge. :D It should be cool to see what can be done. Also its a program I'd really like to know how to use prope...

Re: Evoman's 360 GLT - Trying on wheels

Its no worries dude! I'm thinking of a slammed K10 micra atm . . . wicked. Congrats on the job, I struggled to find anywhere, and now I'm doing an MEng so another year at uni. I'm toying with the idea of buying a towing car so the 340 becomes a bit more dedicated, as its getting that way it seems! I...

Re: Evoman's 360 GLT - Trying on wheels

Re: Nimminz' LSD GLT Daily

Good luck with the wheel bearing.

I measured up the suspension. 85mm from the bottom of the welded thread collar to the bottom lock ring. Spring free length is 200mm.

Re: one wheel further back than otherside? (pics)

mines a lot better on coilies regardless of set up on a corner weighting machine. I have far more front end grip now, and very little understeer. I was running chopped springs previously though, so you cant get much worse :lol:
