Old Lola open wheel cars....
It shows how brake cooling on open wheel have advanced to the now carbon fibre unit in F1 cars....
Big in size, low in height.....and an individual throttle-ed V8 behind the seat....
This car runs a different looking suspension setup....it runs a longer upper A-arm as it seems.....camber recovery aspect ??
Look at the rear tire compare to the water sprayer ~~
A board stating its historic values...
This one have all its body part to be taken off to work in.....(that time my mind was full with @!$!!$!) haha
The front member and suspension
Each cars are different than the others, some are big some are small, some are simple some are complex, each are very different than others thats why it give me a different feel becuz each car is so different, u spend time in garage to garage trying to study them and learn more about them, whats that part, what does it do, whats make it, whats effect it has? This car here, have two large size NACA duct on it...
While this car has a large radiator-like-cooling-scoop in front
The thing i spend the most time looking at is the suspension component of them....its just amazes me, how much time and thinking and effort have used to produce the angle, the length, the tensile strength of this linkage...
When i saw this i goes wooooo, woooooo, wooooooooo oooooooo
Individual runners..
Fuel pump....their close to the exhaust, and no insulation was seen, mayb its a way to heat up the fuel for better atomization ?
Engineering at best....
As i said, each car is different, even the way the exhaust manifold goes is different...
Longer runners as well...
Look at that rear wing + oil cooler set up !!
The cockpit...
Look at the size of steering compare to the tacho..
Whole view of the runners from the carbies on the V8..
As we're coming out a Porsche GT car roar its way to the garage....
Another different type of open wheel...
A fair example of how easy but functional front part some open wheelers have....
Striptease!
Top was happy he crashed one of the Porsche...and he was later being forced out from the Grand Prix for trying to steal the damaged bodypart.....hahahhahah no jz kidding...
Moroso valve cover.....
Aston Martin was participating in the GT too !
Know whats that car? Ascari KZ1 which was featured on Top Gear before..
Lotus Elise GT car...
Porsche 911 GT3 RS
Lamborghini Gallardo...
Look at the wing...
Chevy Corvette Z06
Dodge Viper 2003-2006 SRT-10...seeing this car, revolutionizes my impression of 'wide-body'...
One of the 911 GT3 RS's boot was open for cooling (enlarge the pic for the carbon fiber boot)
Looks nothing more than original ??
Ferrari F430 GT
It has...carbon fiber intake covers, carbon fiber fuel tank, carbon fiber.......
As well as carbon fiber cooling duct...
Apparently, this isn't just a Ascari KZ1...its a KZ1-R....for competition purpose~
Wide body SRT-10 Viper...
Big and mean !
Mosler MT900 GT3
The front brakes at the Porsche track car.....uses the whole surface the rim can giv at max....
Plane precision shows..
And then....Audi R8 GT version !
And also Aston Martin DBRS9 !!
The detail of work these two car has.....just incredible...
Another F430 GT....
Old Lotus Elise...
The Nissan GT-R...unlike the other more expensive cars, its quite stock really....
May i present, the 8.3 liter V10 from the Viper ....
With Moton Suspension...u could buy a new car with the price of buying a set of these !
Me peeking on the Lotus wheels..
SSR rim !
Made in Japan....
Me and Andrew on another Lotus
Big big GT-level Brembo brakes and Moton Suspension...
Porsche 911 GT3 RS's front compartment...
Again, planet like brakes are common for these cars, as same as the Porsche...
The Sachs suspension of the Porsche even have a adjustable function for bump and rebound
While this is the suspension on the F430 Ferrari....
And a Gallardo GT
Brakes by Lamborghini but disk brake is aftermarket...
The suspension ..
From Lamborghini to Aston Martin's AP Racing six pot...
and to Audi's suspension and brake set up...
And then, Mosler's turn...
The Alcon are enourmous...both in diameter and spaces...
Top view shows that some parts on the hubs are carbon fibers...
The back and the engine compartment...
Rear brakes...look at the caliper coming out, need big offset for those...
Adjustable adjustable...
One of the Mosler has one of its cylinder head out, showing its pistons...as well as strange holes up on the cylinder...wonder whats that for...
The Honeycomb structure on the bodykit of the Mosler...
And to show how they scrap off crap from their slick tires on the old open wheelers....
