We been having some trouble with our car this year due to funding but with some compromise and donations, our car is really starting to come along this year. Here are some of our pics

Enjoy

Btw, the car is a bit dirty b/c our body team covered it with bondo dust when sanding.

All questions, comments, and concerns are welcomed.

Did you guys even read the rules???

I dont know how to tell you this but you arent going to make it through tech.

At least you have time to make the necessary changes. How is the carb engine working out on the dyno?

Good Luck!

what rules do you think we are breaking? the only one i can possibly see is the roll hoop, it's not actually aluminum, we spray painted it. What rules do you see us violating?

We haven't dyno the car yet, we still are waiting to weld the halfshafts, we broke them in a driving incident.

Wait, is this thing coming to michigan in May? Or is this just a side project for fun? Would make a decent AM scca car, but i dont think it'll be able to compete in fsae.

You're kidding, right? Nobody's fooled into thinking this is a steel weld:

Where's the front roll hoop?

This has to be some kind of joke.

Zeshawn,
I don't see you guys signed up for this year. Are you building this for next year's competition?

Sorry to jump on you with everyone else but I don't think the drivers feet are protected well enough.

Will you post some more pictures of whatever that chain drive is on the rear end?

Aah, it's beginning to dawn on me now...

'95 or '96 car?

Spring cleaning, eh? Somehow our ancient cars never stayed together like that.

Maybe I should be getting more sleep...

Dude, no way is that car that old. It's hot, you love it...I know you do. Look at it! The mo-fo's tip top! That thing is so dope! What better to use for water lines...COPPER...duh!! It's cheap, easy to assemble, and looks like total crap. And how about that wireing job. You all must have put your best guys on that one, no doubt! Hell the front end doesn't even look crashed three times.

Apparently none of the team members from 2004 made it to this year because I wouldn't want to be in the car pictured when it rolls over. http://fsae.com/groupee_common/emoticons/icon_smile.gif

It's actually our 92 car. It's shown in the "history" pdf on the SAE web site. It's incorrectly listed as our 93 car. It was purple and pink back then.

We were just having some fun with you guys.

We actually have a pretty nice car this year, that so far has been able to keep the rubber side down.

haha... baja...

all I have to say is: crate motor

I have checked the link you have posted. the car still looks fairly fine. I guess the carburetor (http://www.partstrain.com/ShopByDepartment/Carburetor) should be checked..this is the best thing that you can do.
