you're building a 400+ hp car and don't know how to use a mid engine setup to full effect? spend some money on driver training.
.
or life insurance.
I was hoping my commnets were akin to teaching egg sucking.
aerowave lip will not do anything useful, might look great though.
side skirts will prob block air coming out of the front arches, they normally do.
imo
-40mm is too low for the suspension design.
rear spats block airflow so help to maintain high pressure in the arches which helps with both drag and lift.
you don't want either.
yes any evo would leave the rev1 NA for dead on a straight road, you go down a local twisty B road and good full beans in the MR2 and the apex speed just can't be matched by other cars, power doesn't matter at this point.
you're welcome to try and follow me
sadly no longer have the rev1 but will put a good fight in the rev4.
maybe the other driver didn't know the road well or have skill or tyres to keep with a 156bhp mr2 doing triple figures at the apexes? even an mr2 turbo with more power would prob struggle as they weigh more so the apex speed may drop.
The driver is the weakest links in all of our cars and I know that car and road well.
sure at the end of the 7 consecutive corners the road is more open, the evo caught back up before the next village.
He was some distance back though coming out of the last apex.
the mk2 rev1 didn't even have the rev2+ front lip on it, the front end was well planted enough at up to about 200kph.
the suspension was setup well though and it had decent tyres.
Do you still run a spare wheel in the front of the car? it's about 1% of the car's weight so if removed the balance goes to the rear by 1% more.
The rev1/2 rear spoilers are heavy too, removing them for a later one and removing the boot floor stuff helps to tip the scales toward the front.
but suspension changes make much more difference to the feel.
my car has had many tiny mods to help the weight balance, I'm yet to drive it again so we'll see if it's had the desired effect.
there are over 130 mods, most focused on chassis balance.
there are no aero mods.
.
.
yet.
In my daily rev4 with stock everything I can feel the weight shift as the fuel burns off, it goes towards the rear as the fuel level goes down.
drive round with a tenner in the tank and the front feels much lighter, though it still corners about the same.
I just use a little more off throttle as the chassis feels like it needs it.
but most of the time you can really take the p1$$
