Page views shot up from about 50/day to nearly 500/day. Very pleased! Just got to keep them coming back now.

This particular piece is relatively straightfoward, there's not much need to water it down at all really. People on Pistonheads seem to like it, got lots of people comparing their engines now, interesting to see the highest and lowest values coming in, and how some supposedly very good production engines actually appear to be very middle ground.
-
Yep 100% my own work, never seen that concept anywhere else.

Another article, this one based on the performance limitations of naturally aspirated four stroke engines, and calculating your engine's PI number which is a simple as bore, number of cylinders and power, and is comparable across pretty much any NASP 4 stroke piston engine. http://blackartdynamics.com/EngineLimits/Index.php

Thanks for the kind words Tony. Really I am only just scratching the surface of this subject myself. The amount I do not know is simply staggering, but I will be using the website to log my learning process and maybe tag a few people along in the process. I've just been having a look at something by someone with a good 20 years experience on me: http://www.dynatune-xl.com/uploads/1/2/6/7/12673370/dynatune_7.0.pdf Just... wow. I can't even begin to comprehend the amount of science involved there!

Yes that makes sense, something I'll have to make do with I guess. I'll try and make it as accessible as possible but it's never going to be simple. The website is predominantly about the maths involved with vehicle dynamics so if people have an aversion to numbers and algebra then it's going to be a bit of a turn off!
-
Hmmm, you may have a point there, I've certainly got a very particular way of approaching this sort of thing. Any suggestions on how it could be improved for the non engineering types?

First of many articles where I attempt to mash some words together into some sort of explanatory article, to help make sense of the horrid abuse of numbers I have created! This one starts off the chassis articles, I posted this one on this forum a while back but it's been updated with interactive calculations, http://blackartdynamics.com/Chassis_Articles/Tyres_and_load_transfer.php

More site upgrades, more tools added, changed the name and the hosting and er.. that's about it actually. www.blackartdynamics.com

Here's another one, for brake bias and temperatures. http://blackartracing.zxq.net/Brakes/Index.php Works a bit differently to others that I have seen. The acceleration is a result, not an input, which should more accurately represent reality.

AP are nothing to do with AP Racing, however I have seen the coilovers being sold in AP Racing boxes so BEWARE. I contacted AP Racing about this and they confirmed they have nothing to do with suspension components. AP are, as far as I can tell, just another Rokkor/Raceland/Jamex/VMaxx rebrand. Cheap s***e IOW.

New link http://blackartracing.zxq.net/Chassis/LoadTransferDC2.php updated with a faster interface, removing the need to refresh the page each time the user makes a change.

I guess so. HND Motorsport Engineering and currently studying with the OU towards a BEng. CAD monkey by trade but aiming upwards.

The MX5 data was published on the Fatcatmotorsports tech pages. Should be pretty accurate, that guy knows his onions. DC2 info was found from various threads on the Honda Tech Autocross forum. These figures probably aren't quite as accurate, but should still be pretty close. The front ARB is mostly a guess on that one as it's a horrid shape. If anyone has better info, or has enough data to warrant creating a page for another car then I'm happy to update.
