Hi, I am just wondering has anybody ever calculated the centre of gravity on an st205?
Could do with it for my assignment at university as I am doing it on my st205, I'll then be able to calculate the roll centre and then determine what kind of body roll and how well developed the suspension is in comparison to the car. I can calculate roll centre but not centre of gravity as I'm fairly sure you need scales and need to be able to lift the car a certain amount to calculate it accurately. So if anybody has gone this in depth and has recorded it could you please send it to me? Cheers |

I think you could estimate it well enough with some thoughtful assumptions.
Take the longitude point from the diagram that Aizan Advanced posted, then know that it will be vertically above that point. Then I would say it is safe to assume that vertically it will be somewhere between the bottom of the car and a point not higher than where the windows begin, or not higher than the motor. You might estimate it as right about the middle of the door and test to see how the numbers work out. -------------------- Bust a Deal; Face the Wheel.
