No problem, joust away - it spices up my thread.
But, yes the unsprung weight is where we all strive to reduce weight and where we can help to improve handling.
This is confirmed by the, "feeling" from the car now - it just feels duller if you get my drift.
Also rolling acceleration is somewhat affected, as you know a shogun is no performance machine but previously at 70/80 you could accelerate noticeably to over a ton - now this is somewhat dampened. Due to the required effort needed to get the extra weight spinning.
Inertia is always more powerful on the outer edges, by definition, Hence pot type fly's being pots and not er, Hills? Domes?It will probably be pretty awful on more uneven surfaces now too if you do any offroading at any kind of speed, although also coming back to natural frequencies of the suspension system etc, the weight should make the natural frequency lower so in theory the faster you go the smoother it gets
Funny I was just saying that to my girlfriend the other night - the faster we go the smoother it gets, she didn't believe me but I'll show her this reply, with a told you so
Ben the boffin comes to mind (jesticles Mark)
It's true, if you can prove where the natural frequency of the car is. Depending how much you want to win that argument I'm sure it's doable with a quick look around google at simple harmonic motionOriginally Posted by Daved and Confused
