RX8 is no where near as low as RX7.... we have been having pain for such a long time.. undercarriage scratches is normal day to day issue for us :P unless those who made their car stock height or higher than stock height.

as for the energy absorbsion during the impact, material science able to answer the question.

instead of using metal rollers, why don't consider silicon rollers or PU rollers... just like those roller blades... they will wear out after a long time.. and it will absorb the force istead of designing complicated suspension systems.

just my 2 cents.

Bro, you think too much about your car, the more you worry the more problems will come. By the way, good idea, but don't think it will work. Just keep it simple.

As Goober had point out a very important issue - Safety, I guess it is not worth to risk others (car from the back). When wheels on rollers, it will lost control. I'll try those bling bling car technology, where the absorber can raise up and down (but not jumping).

How about we hoover above those hump???? Just JK...... CSL try to avoid humps, that's the only way to survive in Malaysia...

 

[effie]

This is the trouble with humps in KL (Klang Valley, Shah Alam)..... They're TOO HIGH....... The Johor (JB) ones are much lower coz even the works department (polis, jpj, MPJB.....etc etc) drive VERY LOWERED (personal one of course) cars....... Ive come across many out of spec (like in KL) humps while i was living in JB....BUT..... they were removed within a week by council workers coz prolly they scrapped their cars on em too....LOLZ........

In my home town, they can put whatever type. size and quantity of hump in front of their house. Just need to pay $$. So far, the highest record found was at my friend's house. In a roll of 10 houses, got 5 (minimum 4" high) humps. When ask them, they said wanna ensure their children's safety. Cannot argue much. And I'm not those type of people who will throw red paint at their house. Really sad.

Bro CSL....don't throw paint....no good-lah. Just pay $$$ and build one outside each of their homes. 10 inch ones. Walla! Surprisingly here in USJ we have lot's of humps....but of very reasonable heights. Before you can scrape the car....the back wheel starts to come over the humps. So....no grinding at all. But you can't have it all as the jam here sucks big time. So...maybe we can start buiding our cars to fly like Lenon suggested.:_:

Bro, if the springs are not too hard, the car actually won't grind on the hump if drive at a higher speed. I tried to drive a ori 13 years old wira at 100km/h to pass a hump. And surprisingly nothing happen. But drive at 60km/h, the whole car jump up. Who wanna use their sport car to test (how many KM/h on a hard spring)? :_:

 

[atkt]

I think this topic is pointless......and you should spend more time on mod the car in a proper way and not this...:_:

 

[csl]

Well, bro, at lease tried. Anyway, I'm on my rotational off days now. 24hrs free for 30 days :_:

you want to see low you've got to see my car!! I collect ground samples for the malaysian meteor/geographic department. I simply tell them the route i tokk to get to their office and they pay me for the samples.

you are rich man mar :_:

what dev means that his car got so many scratches that the malaysian meteor/geographic department also would pay to get his samples collected with his car.

Correction CB. Only my front spoiler has scratches. But its ok since i have a spare unit when it breaks.

I think owning a performance car has all to do with looks and power....fast, loud to a certain extent and lowered , also to a certain extent. It's weird to see....say a Supra sitting like shit on raised suspenders, crappy oe pipes and sounding all namby-pamby. I think the factory boys at Toyota would cry-lah.:X-:

 

[effie]

hahahaha......... u just bout got the description right regarding performance cars.......

 

[csl]

If still loose to a wajunklution in 400 meters ....... :_:

 

[quixeric]

the roller stuff is funie man hahaha, y dont u just get a EDFC by tein. u can lower ur car during highway or track la. if not u can buy those hip hop pump thingy, ur car can jump over the humps man

I don't think you really know wat EDFC can do........ Wat you're talking about is air suspension......

 

[effie]

EDFC an only adjust the stiffness of the shacks larrr....... Ride height cannot be adjusted !!! Unless u install "air suspension" OR own a Porsche Cayenne, Range Rover, Merc S-Class etc etc...... Cheapest would be Citroen fitted with Hydro sus.....
