American Speed and Ultima Font

[bluesatin]

Just purchased a cheap vinyl cutter after finding how much vinyl stickers cost these days (I removed some last year as they were getting a bit tatty). Other than the obvious stickers such as "my car is quicker than lucky p ultima" at the next vmax can anybody know the fonts used for Ultima and American Speed.

Italic "Rockwell" is a pretty close match for Ultima.

The Ultima font is Rockwell

I thought the American Speed font was one called 'Mekanik' a Russian font from the 1920's but its a bit too tall, the AS logo may have been flattened during design, I'll have another look

I edited the post to include a link to a font ID site, if you have a logo or a web address you can upload the logo to the site and it will ID it for you

Nice!!!

Very nice !!! did you see the door lift on the gtr at speed !!!

[bluesatin]

They all do that. I think it is the pressure being generated from the hole for the steering and the rad pipes. I have used the expanding foam around the rad pipes so hopefully it won't be so bad!

Ok ,that would explain why my box covers lift up !!! does it make your ears pop ???

[bluesatin]

No, but usually the passenger has a few problems!

That is a very interesting observation and I wish I had heard of it before. In order for that to happen and for us GTR boys to have the doors lift must be down to internal pressurisation. As stated, by fast moving air making its way into the side pods being the most likely candidate.

Up until now I had always assumed that it was a low pressure issue on top/side of the doors/windows causing lift! I have seen this on my car too, when watching footage from my rear wing mounted camera and at pretty low speeds it has to be said.

Just reread the topic heading, my how things go off topic, sorry. Most sort my "Ultima GTR" transfer for the back of my car

If it gets to be a problem, you could do this.
