For a completely different reason I was going to try and put a second piece of lexan on the outside of the rear window, at an angle so the bottom would be about 1/2 inch away from the inner piece, and the top would be 2-3 inches away.

Similar to a sound booth (music industry) glass divider, I was hunting for noise reduction.

Given that, I wonder if it would make any difference at all for what you are trying to do.

I bet your issue could be tested with Saran Wrap.....cause you could see if bow in, or flutter out .....

Rich - Thank you. I am aware of the professors "assignments" and have actually designed a few things within the build around the data. Thank you for the link.

Gotta admit, good way to get testing done....

Do you run with windows down ?? if so some run holes in the plexi right behind the seat belt mount to allow the air to flow thru..

I've got a less scientific explanation for what occured (I've watched that video two-dozen times), "In way over his head". The first indication of that was his lack of car control and poor instincts...the second was, he kicked the car upon exiting". Bush league and amateur written all over both.

T

I know the driver of that car and he's not a experienced driver.
Probably never drove 914 before that car.
He is a fantastic motorcycle rider.He lives and grew up in Woodland Park Colorado.Raced Pikes Peak on motorcycle a few times.....

[veekry9]

Well then,He's quite intimate with the most dangerous racetrack to the heavens.
An off here and the results,like any mountain course,is life altering.
#395,looked for the records,no find.Many drivers have failed at the Peak.
He'll be back.

LongitudinalTrailingarmTwist_101,a trait they all have.
The effect that bit his ass,crunching into that boulder.
Why,I'll bet the hornet's paint is still on the slightly perturbed pink syeno/monzo granite.

Seriously,the solution to the problem is the use of radius rods.
Assisted roll control and axle stability parts to make a better handler.
The vid again:Clutch.

I believe one can drive in such a manner that diminishes the abuse and stress placed upon the suspension and chassis. I do not do allot of things with the car like...drift, spin the tires, drop the clutch, I "roll-on" power gradually, etc.

This will go a long ways towards extending the usefulness of the components. Not forever but a longer useful life...I may be wrong but this is how I approach driving my car.

I guess I have trouble coming my way.I do all those thing on a regular basis lol.
I've tried to break it but no dice it just keeps taking it...

Well over 1000 road miles, some auto X and drag strip.

Even my Craigslist 5.3 lm33 and eBay 100K trans seems stout.

[Cracker]

I did all of those things with my first build...an LS2 coupled to a 901 - at 2500 miles it went kaboom! Surprised it lasted that long, actually. I have allot more on the line now and am years the wiser.

Should have stuck with a type-4. They can be used and abused to the point that they're running on one cylinder and still get you down the road. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif)

Lol T4......once you drive a Ls x boxster S 6 speed you'd never
Go back. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/poke.gif)


It rather shop at NAPA for my engine parts (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)

But remember I'm @ 5280+ ft above sea level so a T4 feels so slow.......

[veekry9]

Absolutely,must have altitude compensating devices,to produce sea level pressure and more.
Two bars or three,sir?Ah yes,more,much more,and cool,must be cool.
A 914 with all the right stuff,attaining true perfection,a far different car from which it is made of.
Rusted out,abandoned in a field,the longs filled with pools of muck.
A perfect beginning for the perfect end,a machine for fun.
