Hi all, its been a while, and these forums seem a bit dead.
But I thought I'd post some links to photos I took at Calder Park this year.
BTW does anyone know if Z went to comp? I miss his...
I can see your point, but if the aim of the comp is to train engineers, then does it matter if the cars here aren't full of the high tech stuff? As you already mentioned, lots of teams struggle to...
An update for Melbourne: Enduro2 - first driver brakes were fine (Max Pearse), but on first lap of 2nd driver (Dave McGahey), brake pressure went up and stayed up, so brakes overheating. Haven't...
Hi all, just a quick thank you from me to Kev and all the commentators for all their hard work over the weekend, keeping us informed Loved all of it! Best of luck to ECU at their next comp!
Just some updates on MUR as an alumni: the fastest lap in AutoX was posted on the first lap out after a driver change, so was hoping to be quicker on his 2nd lap (Dave McGahey). But we ran out of...
We run a PDM. By AUS rules, we could do everything through PDM. But in 2013, we ran the grounds of the ign module and fuel pump through a relay that was controlled by the dash kill and BOT. This way,...
Hi Jonny,
It's been a while since I was really into FSAE and how the comp works, so this may be out of date:
The stated aim of FSAE is to design something for the weekend autox-er, but as...
The BOT switch still needs to run through a relay, I think. And I would use a relay for the starter motor (CBR600RR). Everything else can be PDM :)
In the second Monash enduro, Chris Heath ended up lapping in 1:19.xx seconds. In first enduro, Melbourne did 1.19.xx to 1.25.xx laps. I think 1.2km is the correct distance.
I took videos of our fastest driver (Andrew Gunn-Melbourne uni) giving feedback on Woolongong, Curtin, Sydney.
Will post links to YouTube if the team/Gunny are ok with it 😀😀
Just for you, Christian 😛
I don't know why, but I suspect it's to allow more runs from teams that have prepared well. We're such a small comp (25 teams), and we only go to comp once a year (unlike the euro teams or USA...
Hi mech,
I didn't take many more details shots today, but will try tomorrow in the enduro line.
The live-timing seems to be off for now, so maybe we all need to screenshot it :D
One more thing Z,
Melbourne had minor engine troubles for accel and early autox, then major engine issues in last few autox laps, where the drivers noted a power loss.
Turns out coil pack on...
The fsae-a page promises live stream on sunday. I saw something being setup today, so hopefully it works tomorrow 😊😊
Hey Z,
I think what you also need to add to your survey is how many really fast drivers each team has :D
Personally, I think ECU has to be near the top of the list - this is a car that has been...
Hi all (esp. Z who asked for it),
Here is a link to the FSAE-A fb page Albums. This is where I'll be putting all my photos of cars at the FSAE-A 2014 comp.

Just a quick update - I went to visit Monash after work yesterday, and saw some FSAE cars for the first time in months. Monash, Auckland, Canterbury, ECU were all there.
Monash came back from...
Last thing Z: the guys at FStotal have a running points tally (as do many teams, such as Monash, Auckland, Curtin, etc) here:

As a MUR/Melbourne alumni, I was pretty happy we got into the 40.XXs, but we were hitting quite a few cones, so won't do that well place wise sadly. My main concern with MUR doing well is...
Hi Z! I've seen you around at comp, but afraid of coming to talk to you :)
Here is the official FSAE-A page that update with photos (at night), and Nat does updates during the day.

I'm going to leave all the suspension talk to the suspension guys, but I just wanted to say something about the idea that "we'll never beat Team X at their own game":
I suppose I should say that I...
CBR600RR 03-06. 55kg: dry, no sump
We use a Yamaha Ti muffler (think it's an R6). Light (1.5kg), quiet (106 dB when behind front right tyre), and no packing.
