This is a friend's car not mine, but I figure it deserves to be posted in this thread.

Car looks great, but I bet hes steering gets really soft with all that downforce in the back and not much at front. He might be looking to get some understeer but I don't know. It might need some canards to balance it out. Like other said CR will hate on it.

Adrian · 06-20-2012, 09:28 AM

It's an auto-x car and I'd bet money it's more balanced than you think.

I'm definitely taking my race car development advice from the chuckleheads on CR.net.

How is canards going to even it out? Do they provide downforce or something?

JMCFab · 06-20-2012, 11:11 AM

^^ Canards are silly. Very minimal improvement compared to actually running a front splitter.

xDJ DUBx · 06-20-2012, 11:20 AM

Put some neons on it you idiot, that will balance it out just fine.

fressssssh · 06-20-2012, 11:24 AM

@Flier129- You have the type of friends I need. Haha. Car is beyond beast. Do you know the wheel specs?

fressssssh · 06-20-2012, 11:25 AM

I'm loving all these wind tunnel owners on CR. Shit is hilarious.

just wait till you start asking them for suspension advice. youll shit yourself (probably from the shitty ride youll get if you follow said advice).

Indeed.

And the wheels are far too wide for those tyres. The sidewalls don't appear to be stretched at all, which is of course horrid as looks are concerned. Upgrading to 5" width wheels and increasing negative camber by 15 to 20 degrees would provide a much more stylish appearance.

It also doesn't appear to be nearly low enough. I'd wager that he could easily drive over a sheet of paper without it catching on the front lip.

Complete rubbish.

You're absolutely right

. I'm sure that 3" splitter isnt doing anything at all.

xDJ DUBx · 06-20-2012, 01:21 PM

bak tu flrs pls

robertw · 06-20-2012, 02:51 PM

I wonder if AK uses a clear coat that provides some UV protection for their cf parts.

flier129 · 06-20-2012, 04:27 PM

Yes, 15x10 6ULs 275/35/15 Hoosiers. AST 5200s, fairly low, and nationally competitive in SSM & XP lol.

Last time I drove it the car was on 15x9s, 5100s(Xida CS), garage vary lip, and a APR GTC200. It did not have under-steer problems, a few snap over-steer moments mostly because it was a slow turn. One of those cars where it goes past what you think a car can do.

It's aero is pretty standard for a highly prepped auto-x car.

eunos735 · 06-20-2012, 09:09 PM

^^^ It was 350lbs heaver and had about 126 fewer ponies too ^^^

I love reading people's "opinion" of my car that have never seen it run.

Here are just a couple video's of the car in action. Turn the volume up and enjoy
