What do you mean by "invert the steering arms" ?Quote:
if you want faster steering you could invert the steering arms and / or increase the castor.
Mhhh.. if your going to increase castor your doing the opposite, if increased it's even harder to turn the steering wheel because the inner front wheel tends to lift the car which creates a force which helps straighten the steering wheel :O
Next to do:
lower the drivers seat
First thing, remove the seat

original seat mountings removed with grinder. little more weight saving lol

To get the seat fixed i used two steel square tubes. At both ends i welded plates which then can be welded to the chassis.
To adjust the whole seat fixing assembly i used two bubble levels

Welded and added fixing points

the seat now can be fixed 2-3cm more to the middle of the car.

I currently also enjoy the benefits of modern technology in order to optimize my vehicle Aerodynamicly :)
A 3D model of the Corsa which i made some years ago now also shows a practical use.
Thus, for example, different rear diffuser designs can be tested easily in a virtual wind tunnel.

The program used for this purpose is called "Project Falcon" and is a freely available tool from Autodesk. This can also import self created 3D models and test them at different speeds and wind directions, so i dont have to ring up our local Formula 1 team to use their wind tunnel lol
Here nice to see how the diffuser allows the air to flow at the back of the car.

Maybe there's a new developed diffuser in the near future!
This is p@rn!!! Love it!!
awesome the front end looks so mean
Professional design! :thumb:
The Nova is not the best choice for aerodynamic features, but maybe you can using low-speed profiles for better grip in corners. Check an older and/or trainer sailplane wing profile!
yes i know its not the best... the virtual wind tunnel proves that lol so i'm going to try to improve the car as much as possible with some aerodynamic tweaks. Would be nice to gain a little more grip by using a flat floor and a well designed diffuser. At least it will be better than a rear bumper that acts like a parachute ;)
Nice picture of last trackday provided by facebook :d

If you machine the steering knuckles so the track rod ends bolt up from under rather than over (on a lowered nova) it increases turn in.
As does increasing castor.
Take a look at Page 14 ;)Quote:

Tell that to my +5° Castor lolQuote:

Maybe get some exercise helps. jajajajaj, what tyre size you use??
hey! :wtf: ...some of you will probably not even drive around a carpark without whining about how much strength it requires lol:p
Tyres are: Dunlop 200/580 R15 Slicks medium compound
