Kidding aside though, durability has priority. It's good you're mentioning it because I didn't really look into the clearance and durability of the front tower. There is a load of room for the shock tower to flex, much more than I expected and more it would ever need I think. I can probably get away with increasing the radius to 4-5mm (it's currently 2mm). Is that sufficient or do you think I need to do more to it (or take a different approach to it)? |
With your high front body shell, i don't think there is any chance of ever getting the tower to touch the motor plate!
It tends to happen when the car is upside down and the tips of the tower snag on the ground then drive the tower into the lug on the motorplate. Or just snap it off.
I just can't see you getting that much load to the front tower as easily as you do on the 210. I'd make the rad as big as i could.
