sore subject for you dex?
yeah! we were bickering about it in someone elses show and shine thread. I just get so annoyed because every thread with a wingless evo with a VG, someone says the VG on its own has no function, and is just rice. While I agree that is only 90% correct - it still has an inkling of a function, with lab test measurable aerodynamic benefits - that have nothing to do with a wing.

anyway - he finally conceded that VG's on their own are functional.

As someone who works extensively with excel, this is really impressive. I dont even know how he did a lot of this:

if i had to make a guess, he might have just used gaussian cell averaging.

you basically just take a cell, and average it with it neighbors, this is how an image blur works in photoshop. A gaussian blur uses specific weighted averages.


Code:
1 2 3         2         2                          1 2 3
4 8 6  -->  4 8 6 --> 4 [8*.6+.2+.4+.6+.8] 6  -->  4 7 6
7 8 9         8         8                          7 8 9
there are much better ways of doing it, but that is the easiest 3d smoothing function.

I was just talking to a kid w/ an X who went with robispec

Coilovers, rear sway, front roll center, install including rear bump steer kit

$3445 total

Any of u guys consider robispec? I've only heard good things about him, but thats pretty expensive.

Everyone seems to have good luck with his stuff. If i were you i would do springs and see how you like the car. The sway may not be worth it. The roll center and bump steer kit are both things i am going to be doing but will be expensive to pay someone to install.

+1

imo start with springs. on the IX they make a HUGE difference and they are a fraction of the price of coilovers. you need to ask yourself what you want... if you are mainly doing it for esthetics + a minor handling improvement go with springs and maybe some sway bars. coilovers are more for a straightup track/race car and provide tunability for different conditions.

used swift springs from turcos: $180
turco and davids help installing them: (other favors)
kicking out the bum that lived in my wheel gap: priceless

I have a stock VIII turbo w/35k on it. But it does not have a 10.5 hotside. Just the 9.8 from the factory. Let me know...maybe we can work something out.


Kenny- Robispec pretty much has the X dialed in in all the areas for suspension. Everyone raves about the ride after teh install is done. Even if you went with the KW3's and his alignment you should be all set. Apparently he is worth every penny. And will go to any lenght to make sure your car is completely setup properly. Even some of the bigger tuners on here had hime come out to setup their X.
