unbalanced car?

[ben_p]

goin off my last thread.

if i fit

polly carbonate windows to the

*rear screen
*rear side windows
*Front two windows (which are formed so they can wind up and down)

then a light wieght FG boot

also the car is fully stripped etc


am i in danger of having a nose heavy clio?

the engine will be a a standard wieght (as ive have removed lots of wieght but fitted the charger and intercooler etc)


i am planning on fitting a FG bonnet to the front to shed some nose wieght and i have re-located the battery to the boot.. i could fit my N20 bottle and ethonol injection 20ltr tank in the rear? but if i dont buy those items am i fooked?

 

[Josh@Renparts]

surely your trying to achieve weight over the front. more grip..

 

[ben_p]

i know but i dont want the back flying all over the place in bends etc

It will obviously be more tail happy than a non-strippd Clio. Won't the roll cage go some way to keeping some weight over the rear axel?

I suppose you're looking at similar weight distribution to the old Clio Cup racers; not like they had any trouble keeping them on the track..........:S

 

[ben_p]

LOL... good point lado. the cage will keep the rear down!. problem solved!

 

[John D]

Or you could move your seat further back so you're sitting in the boot

 

[ben_p]

LOL il skip that one

He's only 5ft 2"!

if all else fails, spare wheel and a bag of spuds. Near 50/50 weight distribution. lol.

 

[ben_p]

LOL!

 

[Josh@Renparts]

i don't think your going to have too much of a problem, least there is no weight been thrown around when the rear does step out a bit so it should be fairly straightforward to correct. Foot on the Loud Pedal FTW!!!

If you haven't already, fit a brake bias valve
