If you are familiar with camaros, then this part is for a convertible. when the top goes down, it goes where the rer speakers are, right above it, it goes over like an arch, its not a sway bar but thats what i heard it was called b4. it looks awesome when the top is down.

i call it a roll bar..but for convertables its called a light bar....

Apparently we are ignoring any pitching motion due to their getting in the car and due to the bump, since you'd need to know a lot more about mass distribution if it was pitching. So we're only considering vertical movement and the distance between axles is irrelevant. I'm assuming "a total of 8.9 cm" means the sum of the 4 spring deflections, so their average deflection is 2.225 cm. If it actually means the average deflection, then k and m are 1/4 what you'll get with the following calculations. Stiffness k (of the 4 springs in parallel) in n/M = 146*g/.02225. Natural radian frequency w = sqrt(k/m), so m = k/w^2 = k/(2*pi/1.7)^2. (That's the total m; mass of car = m-146.) \nThis was not a well-phrased question, because "a total of 8.9 cm" also could mean 8.9 cm from their no-load length (and thus due to the weight of the car and the students). However this would result in an insoluble problem. \nBTW, why are they geeky? Did they figure all this out before me?

You can wind it anyway you want but it will only work well when winding from the tapered end to the broad end. This is due to the fact that the top is balanced more so at its broad end than it is at the taper. In other words, the top will flip to its side if you wind it to the tapered end. If you really want to increase the rpm of the top you could make its midpoint narrow in diameter with two equally balanced broad ends and then wind it towards the middle. This will keep the top balanced when it reaches the end of its whip and the whip to top ratio will create much more spin. You will still need a taper at the end of the top that hits the floor.

This is called the thunder clap headche.  Look this up on Google

You should really be running a fuel pressure gauge. There are a lot of things that can cause your leaning out... You may just need to run some high octane race fuel or may still need a higher capacity fuel pump or you need to back off on your timing...Then there is the other variable, your compression, n2, blower, or other power adder...

Good Morning!  Saw this one and had to try my hand.  If the "knob" is not screwing down all the way?  and there is thread damage to the parts?  That is called cross-threading.  Some also refer to this as "galling".  In some situations?  the thread "pitch" of one part could differ from the other causing the problem as well.  Hope this helps in some small way!  Hyway.

Look at flexions at the point of supprt:\n1 is the support solid so its flexure can be ignored\n2 is the steel rod held by a grub screw. If it extends any distance to lock the rod then some rotation will occur due to it bending\n3 if held in a chuck check slippage.\n\nIn motor cars torque transmission is usually accomplished using splined shafts, but for small oscillations the backlish in these will be large.

If you are putting in an X-pipe then you are doing cat-back but anyway i had bassani on 89 mustang 5.0L with trick flow every thing and it sounded great but i was a little over 400 HP it will depend on your application

Wow... a lot of complicated answers...simply put... the majority of your force (or pressure) will be on the arch sideways with the most force on it at the initial take off point. It will gradually decrease as it goes round and up as gravity will take hold and it looses it momentum due to the friction against the arch(not allowing it to go straight. Remember that a body in motion wants to stay in motion. If the arch is not tight, it will carry most of its (the projectile) energy to the top platform, so make sure it is prepared for it.

I could see the wind resistance, but there's several issues that come to mind with being vertical: 1. how does the driver see to drive? Granted, I'm picturing a bob-sled configuration here... 2. It compacts things horizontally, but enlongates the vehicle, especially if there are more than a couple of passengers. Wouldn't t a longer vehicle increase traffic congestion? \n\nNow, getting to your question... 3. I don't think it would be safer in collisions because with a lower profile, there would be the concern of one vehicle going over the other.  Also, compaction from a straight-on collision would drive legs into the body...?\n\nI think for safety, the issue is more about how to reduce compaction and then shock to the body.  Maybe we need a car that has a passenger pod similar to the Anecia baby seat:  http://www.americaninventorspot.com/node/937

im currently builing a 4.3L for my blazer...im putting in comp cams cam #56-460-8..with this cam i had to replace springs and have the heads cut to allow room for the new springs...i have not yet put this engine in yet but will be soon..i also matched it to a 700-e raptor junior transmission......anyway the engine will support bout any cam u put in as long as you machine for it...i cant give any ideas except i would bump up the compression with pistons, cam, roller lifters, roller rockers, intake, exhaust with headers, and a good high stall converter...

First, this isn't really the right section.\n\nSecondly, WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING putting 18 inch wheels on a jetta? I bet it looks absolutely ridiculous.

In a way I agree with you, but considering that this category does deal with motorsport, rebuilding engines and finding parts for their car might be considered for motorsports if they are racing or building a race car.\n\nwould it be appropriate to post a question regarding finding shocks and tranny parts or specs that are the same as the 1998 Subaru Impreza WRX WRC edition?  That in a way deals with motorsports.\n\nBut I don't think it's right that people post questions like should I buy this car or what are the specs for this so and so car if it's stock.\n\njust my point of view.

The movie trailer for X3 has a pair of vertical angles in the X.  Also, the Volkswagen kinda has vertical angles (although the vertices aren't shared, so technically it isn't a pair of vertical angles, but it looks close).  Ads for Exxon will work too.

Ummmm... Are you talking about sprint cars? They have aluminum "wings" on top. They contribute to the aerodynamics of the car. They also allow for additional handling adjustments. The position of the wing determines air flow which can either loosen or tighten the handling of a car. :) If you want to see a picture check out http://www.billthomasracing.com/ or http://www.rtschassis.com/.

your right about 'RR'.all those tyres are used by the team before the race and are slightly worn or beded in.on an oval NASCAR track,each tyre will wear differently so they are all marked as a set.FR=front right.FL=front left.RR=rear right.RL=rear left.hope this helps!!
