Verus Engineering and FT86SpeedFactory Time Attack Build
Jeremy from FT86 SpeedFactory has been wanting to do this for a few years now and after building an aero kit for his GT4 last year; we decided to take the plunge and help develop his Time Attack FRS in the aero department.
We are doing our best to document the build and give an inside look into the massive amount of work involved in doing just a small portion of a time attack build (the aerodynamic development). Jeremy and the guys at FT86SpeedFactory have done a *really* nice job of implementing some neat things in their car overall. The cage, dry sump, air jacks, custom fabrication, etc are all really well done. We are purely here to help with the aero development and help them with cooling the car as well. We wanted to start this thread as a place to allow enthusiasts and owners to engage and discuss the car a bit. If you have some questions, ask below and we may feature it in one of the videos that we are attempting to release weekly. Without blabbing too much; here is episode 1! [ame]https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ig8_qgNTO-s&t=1s[/ame] Thanks, Eric |

So for 3 easy installments of $25k, this aero package could be mine?!

I saw their car at the last GL event in October last year. Sick car, they were already running your rear diffuser. It was unfortunate though because I just kept hearing that they were constantly running into issues on track.

Looking forward to seeing what you guys come up with. What kind of transmission was that?

Just a guess but I would assume that is was this one they have listed on their site.

What are you going to do from a suspension standpoint? Is there a strategy, outside of stiff springs, to keep compliance while making less downforce (low speeds) yet still not bottom out under high downforce (max speed)?

Going stiffer is our recommendation. Give some mechanical grip up for more aero grip. It will also have a sort of grind plate at the bottom to keep it from eating itself

I am very curious to see how the front bumper air dam (aluminum parts on the corners of the grill opening) are mounted to the bumper. I know you guys are busy but if you could grab a few pics for me I would appreciate it. I will be fabricating something along those lines soon.

We do quite a bit of cutting and a little bit of welding on the car. We are still busting butt to get this done by mid-April. Thanks, Eric |
