Hello

Hey

[rwh11385]

To be fair i think he doesn't want to post if for competition reasons...

But maybe not? i dunno

The only reason to NOT share is he is full of shit.

[mikegar]

damn i need to quit my job, i miss everything good, e30 rcr getting banned and now this

[JGood]

Uhhh... Posting data of how his bar stacks up against others? That would be a good thing.

[gstuning]

Well I can´t remember reading about the chassis have been in a bench for measuring.
But if so then fair. but anybody can take a E30 chassis and go have it measured.

[Stephen]

In his defense, he claims to have measured chassis flex at various points on a seven post shaker with a variety of strut bars.

The evidence, data, and information from said testing is M.I.A., oddly enough.

I´m so assuming you took the chassis and BENT it in a bench and derived all your construction parameters from there.

i.e the bending stresses and how much angular movement there was with x amount of force to the shock towers and subframe and where thus able to find the the ideal bracing to stop the chassis from bending. Or did you just weld some stuff in a few times to make it stop bending?

There is a difference between imperical "engineering" (fiddling) and engineering (good old math)
I´m all for discussion , but only when people answer with discussion and not little remarks.

Wow, i came back from a psych final and BOOM

[gstuning]

I'll stand toe to toe with you on chassis braces though...

QEAD.

Did you mean QED? My set theory prof made us end proofs with QED; which is quod erat demonstrandum. I've never heard QEAD though.

[JGood]

Can you explain it because I honestly don't get what the hell it means...

I had it because I was going to e-mail it to someone to interpret for me.

I have never seen a graph that looked like an x though... Can you explain a bit more?

You can stop playing games and jump in any second now with your infinite wisdom...

[DCColegrove]

So if you look at the data at 3660 rpm, you can see torque = 288 ft-lbs (or so). Multiply these numbers together, divide by 5252, and you get 200. At 3660 rpm you can see the power is right around 200 hp.

QEAD.

Thank you...

Mr. TwoJs, that assumes that both vertical axes have the same range. They don't in this graph.

Ah hah. Correct you are. That is foreign to me.


STILL ISN'T A GRAph from an NA m20 though.
