As if it was fully CAD designed with aero in mind. It's going to be just fine, if anything, I don't think the aero will add much functionality other than mostly drag. Just solely because there isn't getting millions spent on the design, which is totally expected and reasonable to not do
Lol, a body helps minimally with stability and handling. The biggest factor is alignment of the wheels in relation to each other and forward direction.
@@migueldenboer5186true and untrue.. Yess if you want to take it to the next level You’re right. But you have Some basic formula car design’s wich wil help getting lower airresistance ande higher downforce.

F1 driver seats are done by using a two part expanding foam poured into a bag and then the driver sits in it until it hardens. Just remember its exothermic meaning it gets hot don't burn your ass.
The steering design is perfect. Just for suggestion..install a quick shift kit.then use two set 12volt single acting magnetic solenoid cylinder at the shifter shaft..1 for push up shift..1 for push down shift... and there u go..u have a f1 shifter at the steering...a bit complicated and need to do alot of testing...sorry for my english

A circular saw with a fine wood blade Cuts aluminum like butter and to my amazement it doesn't hurt the tool or dull the blade. if you're cutting something thick you might want to use some kind of lube. I'm 42 years old and I just learned this last year. Another trick for cutting sheet metal metal is to turn the blade around in the opposite direction. I don't know how sick you can cut but for corrugated metal siding insane gauge sheating it works very well.
Hey kyle just as a safety suggestion you might want to look into adding is a rollover hoop on the cart (f1 halo hoop whatever you wanna call it) i know its not a sexy look but god forbid something happens its a good safety to have. Keep on rocking man i can wait to see this thing on track
F1 drivers actually use something like expanding foam to make the seats. Just make the shape and angle of the seating position using aluminum sheets, just like you did with the firewall. Put small squares of Styrofoam on the bottom, and some in the back. But first you put a sheet of plastic or even use stretch wrap on the aluminum bucket. Then you place the pieces of Styrofoam, start injecting the expanding foam, place a piece of plastic in between your back and seat, in between you and the expanding foam. Then you ask your wife to keep on injecting the expanding foam, holding the steering wheel and legs on the driving position of your choice. The only problem will be waiting for the foam to harden enough. In the end, you will have a seat with the exact replica of your back and bottom, and the only thing to do is remove the pieces of Styrofoam, and fill the gaps with a little more expanding foam. F1 drivers use one whole day just for this process, but I think you can do it much faster.
I understand this is the process but that just makes a mould of my body. It would be nice to have it a bit oversized so other people can drive it too 😁
@@Boostedlifestyle would be cool to have a swappable moulded custom seat for your butt (since I assume you will be driving the most), and a more generic swappable seat for your mates.
Instead of spray foam we use 1/4” foam insulation board (uncoated) and glue together in layers, makes it easy to get a base shape in thin layers that can be trimmed and added to sides for bolsters etc
Awesome progress. Once you have your seat base frame, if you want to try your hand at a DIY version of a Schroth Profi seat kit you can get that custom fit by following the Profi instructions but using a bean bag refill kit, a XXL vacuum storage bag and some fiberglass resin.
making good progress, I started learning fusion when I started my van and recently got a 3d printer, its bloody nuts what joe blow can do these days watching a few tutorials on RUclips. Does sound A lot better with the exhaust for sure
@@Boostedlifestyle Ha Ha i hear ya, hundreds of hours of my life has gone to watching fusion tutorials, some 15min vids probably owe 5 hours each cause I'm a sped.
Your stainless welding looks great! If youtube kicks the bucket, you could definitely start up a performance shop! That's a really nice prototype steering wheel as well, nice size and lots of room for buttons if you wanted. There will be a LOT of stress on that design of sway bar, I have no suggestions at all for improvement. Git er' dun mate! Just make sure the welds are solid AF. I know there's a reason sway bars are generally just a single solid bent and forged piece of metal. It's a matter of fatigue more then strength.
Grind the seat foam back like you initially planned then use it as a core...put the whole seat in a big bag and put it in position then put loads of foam inside the bag on the seat close bag loosely then sit in there bro xx
You should use a bag instead of boxes. The poured seat guys in drag racing use bags and it seems to work really well. That way you can also sit in it while it sets and it forms to you.
With all the exhaust work you are doing and im sure some intake. getting that ECU tuned might be a good idea. The guys at 2 wheel dyno works do some amazing work.
Love the 3D printing prototyping. Also "ohMyGawdKyyyyyyllleeeeeYou'reGonnaDiiiiiiiiieeeeee" Also, love the "get it running, then refine it" as opposed to "make it perfect and never finish it" attitude. 👌👌
I have a revopoint 3D scanner, however I've not had any success with going from the scan meshes to CAD models - I'm looking forward to seeing how you progress 👍
Awesome man! U got to a wonderful point now, just wondering a thing, what about that roll bar? Will you connect one more bar to the sides of the back frame to give it more strength and be safer?
Suggestion for the seat. Do it like they really do in F1. Put the foam in a plastic bag. Place it in the cockpit and sit yourself in. Use your body to shape the perfect seat while the foam sets and there you have your mold for the glass fiber.
A buddy of mine is a school teacher looking for a re-useable/repeatable shop project. Before I recommend it to him I need to ask. Considering you completely disassembled your F1, how long would you estimate reassemble time to be? Thinking assembling and disassembly would be fun educational.
Someone replaces a girlfriend’s Audi parts, and gets 3.2 million. People like you, Electric Supercar, and Crucible Coachworks are all designing cars from scratch and have mid 100,000s of subs. The algorithm hurts because this thing would be widespread news tbh. Now I can just imagine: “Breaking news, there is a 21st car on the F1 grid, using a transverse motorbike engine it produces ‘enough’ horsepower and drives for the Boosted Lifestyle team.”
Kind of agree, but I actually got here from one of Mat's video's and I love this, maybe It'll keep on growing. To be fair to Mat, he's been going a few years and there's a bunch of them working together so they've got the bants. And he's got partnerships like Tavarish, so they've got the cross-pollination too. Mat's a bit of a drama queen, so he adds in cliffhangers and supposed unresolvable problems to resolve. He also does side-quests like Top Gear style road trips, and they all get him the subs. But for the purist, this stuff is better.
Whats the distance from the seat to the pedals, bc it looks fun. But the only thing is im not working yet so broke😂 and im from South Africa. And after watching ur pt.18 i just want to continue watching the process, idk if I'll watch the previous, but i might. But the process is amazing
Will the step up to 3" at the muffler hurt what torque there is? Not that I think for your purpose and reason it's a topic, just an observation. Does look coolio.
Whats the engines redline? I'm also questioning the chain drive but compromises have to be made with so little space! She's looking great btw, I can't wait to see her driving!
if that is truely 1/10th scale you can scale that up to get your dimensions and then make a wooden form that you can then use to lay your fiberglass on to mold out the body
@@Boostedlifestyle i started of with a pop 2 which was completely unusable but they hopefully made the software better, einstar was a big jump for not much more money but u should really look into the new einstar vega, pls dont buy a miraco tho, i had a lot of scanners and most of them sadly are trash or at least the software
Get a seat foam kit. Just use the fiberglass seat you made. Sit on the bag from the kit and have the lady pour the 2 part foam. Watch 30minutes of youtube and boom you have a proper race seat.
Remember, on test drive it’s gonna handle funky until you get aero and ground effects… You are rocking this build… 🤙🏻

Id strongly recommend to bend the sway bar instead of welding it. With all that leverage my guess is that youd need some really strong welds

When you're shaping foam, use 40 grit sand paper on a block. It's only a little bit slower but far more forgiving.
That sounds really smart actually

Hi Kyle, been watching the series from day one! Love the video. What diameter tubing are you using for the chassis?
It's 1 1/4 .120 wall on the big pipes
