Does not surprise me whatsoever they make good coiloversApparently they said they are very popular for the rally cars j1000 championships etc.
Hopefully I hear from them tomorrowDoes not surprise me whatsoever they make good coilovers
Simple corner weighting and possibly different rated springs for the front and you'll be well on your way
I'd be interested to know what they sayHopefully I hear from them tomorrow
Sounds like you've got it sussedGot a call from demon tweeks and they put me onto avo themselves and I told them my situation with the engine weight and they have recommended higher poundage springs so I'm getting 300 LB rated springs to hopefully counter the extra weight of the engine.
250 for Gravel/tarmac I can understand but that'll be with the lighter cg engine...Well I asked avo about the next size 350ib and they said that that would be a hard spring and that it could cause more problems than good with under steering issues. So wouldn't recommend it. Apparently the micra setups for rallying on Tarmac/gravel is 250ib springs on those coilovers.
Been playing with suspension for years... the brain ache never stopsBeen reading up on things a lot and my brain hurts right now lol

That's a 130kg (5.0kg/mm) spring Paul... you'll need to put 130kg of weight on it to shift it in a inch... the car will do that easier than you canJust put 285lb fronts on mine, hoping for a test run at the weekend but there isnt much movement!

At least us ranting on is educationalIt's alright lol! I know minimum about suspension. I'm learning from you guys and also what avo tell me.
The avo coilovers have adjustable dampeners whatever that means lol
In a rear or 4 wheel drive car where its controllable yes. A fwd car can't control the back. They tend to self correct and snap back into place themselves but its never funOversteer is better isn't it? I'm sure I won't be drifting the rear end lol
I found the oversteer on my car VERY controllable It's the understeer you need to watch put for!In a rear or 4 wheel drive car where its controllable yes. A fwd car can't control the back. They tend to self correct and snap back into place themselves but its never fun
Lift off oversteer I take it? Totally different storyI found the oversteer on my car VERY controllable It's the understeer you need to watch put for!
Christmas come earlycams arrived today with suspension
Your radiator fan is on backwards
Beat me to itYour radiator fan is on backwards
swap motor polarity ?Beat me to it
Bound to cause cooling issues
With the blades angled like that you'll be WAY down on efficiency, as the air will be slowing down as it passes over the blades. To the point it's probably doing more harm than good as its gunna give very little cooling when stationary and is blocking radiator area at speed.swap motor polarity ?

Look at how the blades are curved. The curve is there to increase efficiency in the correct direction of rotation, but this reduces efficiency in the opposite direction. For it to work as efficiently either way it would have to have flat blades.Not sure I understand.
The blade angle of attack is standard no? All thats been done is the fan switched to the other side of the rad.
Looks to me that he has used standard fan but put it the wrong way round and therefore making the motor spin the other way would solve the problem?
Down to blade pattern iirc not polarityswap motor polarity ?
gotcha!Look at how the blades are curved. The curve is there to increase efficiency in the correct direction of rotation, but this reduces efficiency in the opposite direction. For it to work as efficiently either way it would have to have flat blades.
Still blocking the rad tho whilst in motionhe might have it manually switched ? (for stationary use only)
That said, running backwards slows the air as it passes over, so it has a higher hydraulic efficiency (good for displacing incompressible fluids). Sadly, air is elastic so the pneumatic efficiency is more important ehgotcha!
didnt notice that
as does a front bumper a radfan will only ever kick in when stationary or crawling in traffic ehStill blocking the rad tho whilst in motion
