Laser XE coming back

[135sohc]

It takes a skilled hand and lots of practice to set those rivets and get them just right.

Dam nice work again Warren!!!!

[86Shelby]

Beautiful! Great work Warren.

[x.Gen]

looks great (I always liked the Laser wing, I know not everyone does). so how much design time went into it? lots of CFD? wind tunnel? kidding.

you've officially taken the bar, raised it once again, and lowered it repeatedly on to our heads. always impressed, and happy seeing it was done to a first gen.

[Reaper1]

Just....wow....yeah.

[Reeves]

Looks good Warren!
But.....I still can't see where the laundry attaches???

[Juggy]

thats some slick work right there.

Dont think I need a chute till I go what?, 150? Or is it 9.99sec. or faster?

[turbovanman²]

I thought Reeves was joking ala some call it a towel rack?

Once again, WOW,

You changed your sig time, have you recently gone racing? It used to be a 1/4 mile time?

[Reeves]

150mph for sure.

I'm not sure if you need it at 9.99 or not, but don't think so.

[omni_840]

WOW! Very nice work(as usual)

[Warren Stramer]

The Lexan strakes were a last minute idea.Dont know if I should leave them on or not, What do you think?

[bakes]

I would keep them as they will help to stop the air pushing over the outer edge making the wing more functional.

[Reaper1]

^^I agree. It will also reduce the tip vorticies which are parasitic drag. If anything, I'd consider making them larger. Something else I want to study is making some sort of boundary layer trip or vortex generator toward the top of the rear window to keep the air attached to the back of the car to reduce parasitic drag and improve the overall aerodynamics of the car. Undertrays are also on the drawing board.

[Warren Stramer]

I only want rear down force at the top end of the track, at the highest speeds. That is why I used such a shallow flat angle, and a small wickerbill. Other wise it could generate too much rear down force and pitch the front up and hurt traction.
I plan on building a partial front belly-pan/fliud catch pan with a front air dam incorporated under it. NHRA is allowing these now instead of engine diapers.
But first I have to install my front coil-overs.

[turboshad]

I love it.......that is all.

[BadAssPerformance]

Got my wing done tonight, Hand formed aluminum. Taught myself how to install aircraft flush rivets, they are a real pain.
I designed it to resemble the original factory Laser wing. It only weighs 3.5lbs. the factory wing weighed 11lbs.
I'm very tired, got to go back to my box and crash

Absolutely Beautiful Warren

What coil overs did you end up going with?
What spring rate?

That was last fall.

Honestly, I dont remember. They have been packed in the box way up on the shelf for 4 years, got to get them down a see what I got. What spring rate do you recommend? My front weights are 725lbs each side.
