I had to make it public. That's the only way i'am going to get anything done.
So, i had to convert my rear suspension to multi link, raise the front suspension, built a new pedalbox, rebuilt the engine and tranny, make attachemets for new fg flared rear and front fenders, make a new carbon top, glue the new heated windshield, paint the car and lots of other stuff. I will post pictures when ever i have any progress. Here is the starting point (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/fvwa.sitefactory.fi-179-1274375877.1.JPG) hub's are attached to table (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/uploads_offsite/fvwa.sitefactory.fi-179-1274375881.2.jpg) lower part of the new front i'll put more pictures later |

I'we been drawing and simulating these in paper. Camber gain is calculated to 2" suspension travel (bump) and it is from static zero to 5mm in 2". That can be adjusted from upper or lower trailing arms. Caster is zero but can be adjusted with different upper mounts. Roll center is in ground level because of the instant center is in infinity (horizontal arms). Roll center is adjusted by changing the upper arms angle. Toe is adjusted from the bolts in upper arms.
I made this set up with stock wheel base and width (if i understand what you mean). I'am trying not to mess the current weight bias much. I'we buildt this set up for 245/50/16 wheels, so hubs are in a center of that. When i'am lifting the body to this new suspension, i will set up the ride height to about 3". I need to figure out the front next. Thought about raising the spindles 1" and maybe the whole axle set up 1". I'am not a professional in this kind of things. I just ordered some books and tried to search 914club and other pages to find info. If someone notices something fatally wrong in my build up please inform me. I needed to just built this and start testing, i don't think it is worse than the original setup. Mika |
