Astro's Vert Build
So just starting the thread now even without much done or any real goal jsut a good place to start and show some progress
http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/...psbixkiknt.jpg 2010 6M vert fully loaded So bit of a story of why I have a vert... So before I had the fairlady I had bought a 15 brz, loved the car on the track but for an everyday car was utter crap a rattly POS, so we had gotten a 370z in on trade at work and seeing it was a vert figured it was an auto and really didnt care, the next day I get to work and I pull it up for a used car inspection and go out to it and bam full option 6M vert, I knew the second I started the car I wanted it...even if it was a vert :p talked to our used car guy and really the price was too good to pass up... Now what I want to do pff where does one start?? its my daily but I track it a few times a month in the nice weather so some performance some daily, at least till I can import my delta |
Congrats and welcome to the family!

So I have the 2.5in aam exhaust in it and I have to say while it sounds great... worst exhaust I have ever put in, never wants to line up doesnt want to seal at all... but oh well it sounds nice some of the time so plan is to cut off the flanges and weld it all, rebend all the hangers and just live with it...

So I descided to pull everything out of the trunk not only to save a small amount of weight but also it makes the tiny trunk usable now! I can get a whole wheel in there now haha

http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/...ps53kfutgm.jpg http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/...psiahkj1av.jpg http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6gvpmqow.jpg |
It's going to still sway like hell. Do a cross cable between two high points on the stands. I am going to have beams welded instead of cable

welll shiiiiiiiiitttttt while going out to a meeting this happened sad day for super wing
http://i1087.photobucket.com/albums/...pswe2iys5b.jpg |
Judging by the fact that you still haven't done cross cables it had too much stress or your angle of attack was way too harsh.. Is how I believe it happened
|
Did you run tension rods from the chassis bracket to the chassis? Because it will still have a tiny bit of back and fort movement.

I honestly can tell though the wing isnt upto the amount of downforce it can generate, it flexes wayy to much to actually do enough so oh well on to expensive aero
|
Have you even tried it? Had a track day with it? Because it is effective when put into real stress. I know fiberglass can flex. Which is why true track drivers get carbon. I made that mistake of not getting a carbon deck which is why I bought a carbon roll and will be using the frp wing as a mould.

A wing is only effective at 80mph plus. I doubt the back roads you take keep you at those speeds.

So why did you buy the wing? (just curious)
