We've entered the wing era!

To mount an existing carbon wing I designed my own mounting system from carbon plate, the design keeps all the fixings out of the airflow to minimise drag. The turnbuckle allows for +-3 degrees of wing angle change. Roughly 70% of the load is taken through the rear vertical face of the bootlid rather the flat horizontal face (which has also been reinforced) to minimise deflection at load. The overall design is stiff, lightweight and a much better solution to heavy chassis mounted designs which are over engineered for the load the wing produces.

First track test will be at Brands at the end of the month. After which work will switch to building a front splitter to correct the aero balance ⚖️

Some subtle changes ready for the next track day. I've finally got round to hooking up some ducting to the brake backing plates I designed. Air is directed to the disk via a 3D printed inlet that replaces the fog lamps.

Lastly the passenger seat has made a return, ready to take some friends on a hot lap 🔥

Analyzing the data reveals the source of the 5.3-second gain. Average lateral and longitudinal acceleration increased by 0.1g, resulting in a 10km/h higher apex speed and braking 25m deeper into the corners.

To optimize my lap time, I'll need to adjust my driving technique. The "slow in, fast out" approach no longer works since the car is not traction-limited on corner exit. Instead some brave pills are required, maintaining speed on corner entry for a higher apex speed.

Some more upgrades, Wilwood super light calipers, EBC RPX pads and Garage Block Special brake cooling ducts.

The main benefit of going this route is the 5.5kg of unsprung weight saving off the front axle. Additional benefits are the better selection of brake pads available for this caliper. I'm excited to trial the RPX compound in conjunction with higher grip tyres!

And here we have it assembled 🔥

A lot of hours put in here. Not wanting to reassemble the old crusty suspension and subframe, I stripped them back to bare metal, zinc primed and painted them.

These have been re-assembled with some 90ShA hardness bushes from .eu.

I'd like to have gone solid and used spherical's on the suspension. Perhaps something for the future but for now this will see a significant reduction in suspension compliance over the old rubber bushes.

Also on another note, I finally got to use my new digital torque wrench from , cherry ontop of a job well done ✅

Thorough work by McNeill Engineering of Northern Ireland setting up the new high ratio diff. Custom solid sleeve to set the pinion axial float and ring gear mesh pattern checked and adjusted. No I just need to fit it to the car 🔧

Oulton Park testing update.

The plan was to blow the cobwebs off, ready for a year of modifications and trackdays. Unfortunately the cobwebs remained firmly attached. Three years of racing and trackdays have taken their toll!

Issue list:

New gearbox required - The synchros have gone on 3rd gear and the shift detent mechanism has broken.

Rear brakes seized - The rear caliper pistons would bind at certain points, resulting in a hard pedal feel without any additional retardation, occasionally causing the fronts to lock up due to the brake balance shift.

New exhaust too loud - Thankfully the car passed noise testing, reading 101DB @ a conservative 4500RPM (Thank you tester). Whilst it passed at Oulton it will be too loud for most UK tracks. So another solution is needed!

Suspension - Not necessarily an issue, but some adjustments are needed. The new spring rates are too stiff for the current tyres. These should be better suited when we switch to higher grip tyres, something to review at a later date. Finally, with the new lower front ride height, we've gained a lot of negative camber, this could do with dialing back half a degree as it's compromising braking.

Some new shiny bits fitted today. We've mated a custom V-band RRP forward section to a HKS hi-power single exit rear section.

This new system provides 3" diameter all the way through without interruption. The forward V-band section allows for a quick change between catalyst (for road) and straight piped (for track).

Exhaust flow is paramount on a rotary (especially on the renesis), so as well as saving a bit of weight over the OE system, this new exhaust should free up some ponies and aid reliability with reduced heat build up at the exhaust port. Oh, and it sounds wicked 👌
