hey everyone, i figured id post this here to see what you all thought
I am a ME student at NJIT and for a senior design project, Myself and 2 other students will be redesigning the front suspension of the 914. the goal of the project will be to optimize the structural rigidity of the control arm while decreasing weight, also to try and optimize the camber curves and adjustability for racing use. prettymuch we would be designing a racing control arm. depending on the results, this may be something that could go into a production run..who knows what im asking is for donations of stock parts. A arms, shocks, tie rods... i want to try and recreate a front corner of the car that will be easy to modulate and work on for demonstration and testing purposes. so let me know your thoughts/ideas thanks Aaron |

a little update for you all
thanks to ray, i was able to get measurements of the 914 suspension points for the kinematic model, and thanks to bob at stable energies, i have the components to model. Our professor really likes this project so he chose us to compete in an ASME oral presentation contest in april...so i have ALOT of work to do. I am currently finishing the solid model of the stock control arm, which i will do a structural analysis of, using track data generously provided by the members here. so things should be picking up soon here are a few pics of the solid models i have Attached image(s)
