Yotah´s RS Cup "Nurburgring Edition" -> 204hp F4R832 swap.

[yotah1]

Yep, I agree, but as my cage will go all the way to the front shock tops to rigidify everything, it will need to completely cut or remove the elec. And honestly, I intend to track the car as is next year, while getting some parts ready and getting a proper place to work on it, then in winter 2013/2014 I'll start the process of dismantling and cutting and welding, etc.

Awesome 3D model wish i could put nicely dished rims on the twingo

Nice model Yotah! Got to ask though on the rear shot of the car is the spoiler floating :shock:

 

[Phil]

Jup, i guess Alias serves the automobile-industry best. We're using 3ds max here for work.
Do you have a normal Twingo RS model which you could export for me (.sat, .obj, .stl or something?)?

There are only ****** ones around and I don't have that much spare time here at work.

 

[Mike_Robo]

Loving the design mate!

 

[yotah1]

Sorry nope, I did my own model directly so I don't have the base car available, and I'm with you on the ****** models available online for free. I found one which was good but 75$ for it made me do my own

 

[BlackTwingo-i]

Sell it! Make some dollar

 

[Ollie133cup]

Just fantastic yotah! Wish I was able to use that software to that extent, trying to design my ITB's using it ain't my forte haha

 

[yotah1]

Try a proper engineering software for your ITBs, like Solidworks or Pro-Engineer, Alias isn't built for that. It's built for precision for styling surfaces, nothing else, after that we usually use Catia to put the engineering stuff together, but that's a whole new dimension of complexity ...

BlackTwingo-i, if I had done the base car, maybe I would have put it on a website for sale, but it needs a lot more work before that, and it's not worth the time and effort I think... If someone wants the cad, I'll give it away, but as is (without the wheels and brakes though).

 

[Martin_Fry]

very well done!

 

[MovingShadow]

We have Catia rooms at my work.. its where baby Toyota's are born :lol:
& several CAD rooms where some crazy Japanese works an entire year on rearlight models on the computer, 24/7.

I'd go crazy.

 

[manofhow]

ahh good old solidworks, spent many hours on that programme :S no wonder i am as blind as a bat with out my glasses

 

[133_Ads]

Use solidworks day to day, Catia is a whole different ball game!

 

[Phil]

Hell, am I lucky!
I just have to make it look good and don't have to care about the measurements at all!

I worked with Inventor, SolidWorks, SolidEdge, Catia and so on, but 3ds max will be my all-time-favorite when it comes to free-form modelling!

Btw: I have a Twingo RS Phase 1 model which is extracted from Forza 3. But as said the polygon count is unfortunately very low because it's only detail level 1 (about 35k for the whole car with wheels).

Ok, back to topic!
That front end design drives me crazy.
Are u planning to built or design your own aerodynamic parts as well?

 

[yotah1]

I'll build everything.

Today is a sad day though, in a way at least...

The Twingo is over, stand by, no more track, no more fun
Following my accident at the beginning of the month, I got a new wheel and got the car checked for a complete geometry. The rear axle is a bit sideways, always been like this, but the front left hub is bent, and we can't fix it. It needs a new part, and I don't want to spend more money for just the same thing, especially now that the winter is getting here. So... the car will still be used as a daily for a few more weeks, until i get the 911, hopefully. Then, it will go into endurance parking mode for a few months and will come back to the light only to get a new engine, gearbox, 300hp, wider tracks and a fully welded cage.

So no more track, and I'm quite sad that I won't be able to get a very good laptime out of it now that the setup I wanted is finally complete But well, sometimes, you must know when to move on...

 

[benmc]

Sad to here bud ....









You selling any bits ???

Sorry just had to ask !!

 

[yotah1]

I'll be selling many parts later (wheels, suspensions, engine, gearbox, strut brace, airbox) but only when the car will be at its new home next year.

 

[Phil]

I'm sure once you'll have the porsche, you wont mind giving the twingo some time to rest!

 

[waitey]

Nooooo keep a progress thread on the Porsche on here though? You're twingo project was insane, no expense spared and I doubt there will be another like yours anytime soon on here!

As for parts if you have a rear strut brace I'd be interested if it fits the GT.

 

[manofhow]

sorry to hear.
