    Radius of gyration

    Thanks for the reply. You are right about my target. Twisty roads and some track action for fun not for a competition. I love this car and want to make it adequate to handle with 380hp. I don`t want to make it Miata or Mr-2. It is more like a drag car now that can drive by the straight line...

    Radius of gyration

    More I try to understand than more I don`t and more I like it :) My starting point is a Milliken`s formula: ω2 = CfxCr/m2 * l2/k2 x (1+KV2/V2) CfCr - will be tuned on the last stage by dampers, chassis and alignment m2 - I will reduce it by my plan above k2 - It will reduce with mass K -...

    Radius of gyration

    Thanks! There are 2 heavy rads 20kg total that I want to change with 5 kg alu one. And there is a tandem pas with hydro assisted brakes line.I want to change it with an epas and move it near the rear axle. The quattro wagon for a track sounds like an extravagance to me.But I want to learn how...

    Radius of gyration

    Very helpful! Thanks guys! Yes I was confused by DI (I've never read in books about it and never heard in the university) It's a weekend car with some track day action. My plan is: Fiber hood - 10kg save 1.3m from CG = 10x1.69 = 16.9 kgm^2 AC Remove - 20kg save from 1.6m = 20x2.56 = 51.2...

    Radius of gyration

    Good day. Is there any simple method to approximate a radius of gyration of a car? I have found on a recent thread the next statement: useful term that represents the departure from one (1.00) of the yaw radius of gyration [in meters] Can someone explain more what does it mean 1.00 in...
