I have room up front to push out my wheels about one inch. Where can I get 4 lug spacers? If I played my cards better, when I got my Panasports I would have had two made with a different backspacing to allow for the more room up front, but I was not wise. Are spacers generally considered ok for this? I know I would have to have longer lug bolts, or have longer studs put in. Anything else?

QUOTE have not read any of those books. but if they say "exactly" what you said, i challange their knowledge in physics. Fine, two of the three you are challenging are among the greatest race car engineers of all time! Mr. Puhn is no slouch himself. Not a smart move. QUOTE maybe you are misquoting some of their statements? Not a chance. Your line of questioning is a desperate attempt at discrediting proof positive of your reckless disregard of the subject in which you claim mastery. At least, mastery exceeding those who earn their living at it. QUOTE do you actually understand the physics involved or are you merely digesting someone elses opinion? I do not have a physics degree, if that is what you are asking. I was a Combat Engineer in the Army, if that means anything to you. I did take a few physics classes in college but my real experience is practical and, indeed, learned at the alter of those who made careers of race car engineering. Are you suggesting they are all wrong. I was misled?!? Damn, your talents must be in high demand in professional racing circles! Should I inquire on your behalf with Chip Ganassi when I next see him? Just be a man and admit you don't know what the hell you are talking about! Too much physics can blind you to reality, which is a dangerous thing. Engineers are also not immune to reality blindness, as they often hold too many variables constant to keep the calculations reasonable. In Economics (in which I hold one of my degrees), we call that practice Ceteris Paribus, or all other things remain the same. It is a pleasant but impractical fiction of presuming changing one variable doesn't change everything else. Race car engineers, however live in a world where their work is immediately and incontrovertibly proven or disproved on the spot by actual lap times. They produce results and are paid well for it. Tell them they don't have a grip on physics and they will laugh their asses off. BTW, can you tell me whether race cars need more or less Ackerman than a street car and why? Just a test of race car dynamics 101. First day stuff. |
